10 Fire Safety Improvements: New Smoke & Heat Alarms, etc.
Posted 04 November 2024
Tristan recently did a number of fire safety jobs in our holiday let: fitting new interlinked smoke & heat alarms and a new emergency exit light, PAT testing all appliances, and new controls to bathroom heaters. Routing the new cabling for the alarms was challenging, but Tristan achieved a really good result. He also previously bailed us out in August, when guests reported no hot water. Tristan fixed the problem (a burned-out switch) while the guests were out for the day, and we were 200 miles away! Once again, many thanks, Tristan, for your excellent service, on more than one occasion!Verified reviewerJob location: TQ610 Rewiring kitchen and installing new cooker and induction hob

Tristan's work is always excellent and well thought through - we have used his services on many occasions over the last 5 years - including installation of a new electric heating system. He sometimes needs chasing when setting up appointments etc., but he has helped us out in emergencies. We would highly recommend him.Verified reviewerJob location: TQ6
