Highlights
"Philip from Acorn domestic repairs was a lovely man. He always kept me in the loop with text n calls. He was on time to cap my old cooker n always made all the safety gas checks. He was also on time again when he came bk to installed the new high grill gas cooker after assembly of the 2 pieces of the cooker. He did 2 invoices 4 me n the price was great too. Thanks Phil n co for all your help. very satisfied 😌"
"Initially called out to repair our old boiler, turns out the parts are no longer available. So was quoted a replacement boiler to be fitted to the existing system, a date was set (which was kept) and at 8.30 prompt Joe turned up and first thing he did was to lay down carpet protectors. Decided best location for the boiler, kitchen soon to be replaced. The old boiler was removed and new boiler duly installed, gas and existing pipework was adapted to suit (no mean feat) Electrician working in conjunction did his bit, boiler working perfectly, premises left clean and tidy, thoroughly recommend."
"A little disappointed. Booking made for call out (1 hour min) for leak repair. Plumber arrived (polite and on time) but was present for less than 10 minutes with advice that he could do nothing and best to call insurance company. £108 charge with VAT. Whilst understanding companies need to pay wages and make money, this felt excessive by all measures - particularly as other companies offer free quotation/visits and could have offered the same advice. An expensive lesson learnt."

Smart checks
Before you hire a gas engineer
By law, anyone working on your gas appliances must be on the Gas Safe Register — ask to see their Gas Safe ID card and check the licence number at gassaferegister.co.uk before they start.
Never let an unregistered person touch your gas: unsafe gas work risks carbon monoxide poisoning, fire and explosion, and is a criminal offence.
For a boiler or appliance install, get the work and price in writing and keep the Gas Safe / Building Regulations certificate they are required to give you.
Confirm they cover your area and can actually come out in your timeframe before anything else.
Read recent reviews for reliability and turning up on time — not only the quality of the work.
