Highlights
"Prompt response to job being posted. Friendly, professional service with good communication. Competitive price. We would definitely recommend James to others."
"James came out to do a boiler repair and to also flush out all of our radiators in the house. From the minute we got in touch he was so fast in replying and very helpful, giving me reassurance when I was worried about our boiler and having no heating. He came out as quickly as he could and had our boiler working the same day and our hot water on again. James is so punctual and honest about the work that needs doing. It’s hard to know who to trust when it comes to these things but I can absolutely say James is fantastic at his job and so knowledgeable. On top of this he’s a really nice guy!"
"James was very polite and punctual. Agreed on a time to view the property and was on-time. Provided a very competitive quote and date/s to complete the work. We decided to proceed with James as the price was suitable and upon first interaction he seemed very knowledgeable. I am very glad we went with James as he is a very honest and genuine tradesman, work was top notch and one of the first workers where they would ask you what you’d want to do when there are decisions to make, rather than just proceeding with what they think is best. I would definitely use James going forward."

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.
