    Oil overflow pipe repair

    Posted 05 June

    Person I spoke to on the phone , was nice enough, however the guy who showed up to do the job , was unfriendly and not very talkative, call out charge seems expensive compared to other quotes received after I had agreed this , and they also charge VAT , even though it says they are not VAT registered.

    Gas Cooker installation

    Posted 04 June

    They responded at most steadfast pace, done a smashing job on the installation and would happily come back if they are free.

    Boiler service and repair

    Posted 13 May

    I contacted silviu for boiler service. He came the next day serviced my mum's boiler (didn't clean anything inside)and said that it needs parts replaced. He didn't explain to my mum that there will be extra cost if it was done on the same day! The price he charged my mum was astronomical. I tried to get him to explain but he said that he did tell mum that was going to be that expensive. My mum said that he didn't otherwise she would not have agreed for the boiler to be fixed. I am very disappointed as my mum is a pensioner and I trusted this person as he had a high score
