Call – 01702 910075
Coming back in a couple of weeks to change a couple of components. I would not hesitate to recommend.
They complete work to a high standard, respect my tennants and focus on getting the job done. This helps me immensely because i trust them to do the work to my requirements. I highly recommend them and look forward to using their services in future.
Not cheap but much less expensive than Aqualisa’s repair charge, and less still than a new shower.
Annual Boiler Service. Punctual.polite,
and very reasonable price. I use this Company every year.
