Highlights
"Installation of shower and screen in main bathroom and fixing slow flow of water from shower in en-suite. Plus replacing kitchen tap."
"Karl made an appointment to view the job and gave us positive and sensible advice. He changed his original date for the work to suit us and arrived promptly. He is polite, friendly and extremely skilled. He removed the old installation, replaced it with a new one supplied by us and left the room clean and tidy. His pipework is excellent and a huge improvement on the previous work. He completed the task ahead of schedule and his price was very reasonable for the amount of work done. I cannot recommend him highly enough."
"Karl’s approach was professional. He visited to assess exactly what needed to be done and advised on what new radiators to buy. He arrived promptly on the appointed day and worked to achieve what was needed. He left the job in a clean position and his attitude could not have been more pleasant. He had manners, good communication skills and was considerate of our views. I have no hesitation in recommending him."

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.
