  • "We got a viewing hatch for the boiler installed, the boiler itself serviced and a thermostat replaced all for a reasonable price."

  • "They responded with 24 hours with an initial visit to diagnose the problem and within a few days returned with new tap cartridges to replace seized ones due to hard water calcification."

Cons:

  • "I am extremely disappointed at how extortionate this company is."
  • "**AVOID AT ALL COSTS** Charged me almost £400 for just over an hour's work and a £57 part."

  • "£110 call out fee to identify the cause of a leaking toilet, which took 5 mins maximum. This was followed up with a quote of nearly £450 to replace a simple flush cone (seal)."
  • "The quote he sent had +50% price of spare part (£180 vs £118) and charging again for service £140, price for labour was expensive as well."
  • "Had them out to unblock a drain. They 'did' the work and then presented me with a £400 bill for further cleaning. A Week later it was blocked and in worse condition than when they arrived."
