Highlights
"CHG Southwest identified the problem to my lack of central heating to be due to a faulty valve. The engineer manually reset the factory settings on my boiler and temporarily got the boiler working to enable some heat. They will replace faulty part. I have the bronze service plan with GHG and engineer called same day. This service is highly recommended."
"We use them on a regular basis, for annual oil boiler service and any associated repairs. They are contactable, and reliable, reasonably priced."

Smart checks
Before you hire an electrician
In England and Wales, notifiable electrical work (new circuits, a consumer unit, anything in a bathroom or kitchen) must by law be signed off under Part P of the Building Regulations — confirm they will handle that.
Prefer an electrician registered with a government-approved competent-person scheme (NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA) so they can self-certify the work meets the wiring regulations.
Insist on the Electrical Installation Certificate (or Minor Works Certificate) when the job is done — it is your proof the work is safe and compliant, and you will need it if you ever sell.
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.
