Highlights
"James was punctual, professional, efficient and friendly. I will definitely contact him again for any future work."
"James did a very professional job of replacing very old standard boiler with a combi from kitchen to the airing cupboard upstairs and old skirting radiators with standard radiators which I thought was probably a bit tricky regarding the routing of the pipework but it wasn't a problem for James all at a very reasonable price and very easy to deal with.I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him."
"Excellent service. Polite and friendly. Confident in what he had to do and got on with it. Very happy with the work done and would use the company again in a heart beat."

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.
