  • Wood burner installation

    10Verified Review

    The team from RFC were brilliant, lovely people that did a fantastic job. Punctual, friendly and all the work carried out to an excellent standard. Considering the work included sweeping a chimney, installing a new wood burner and the removal of an old burner the team left the property spotless. At the end of the installation a thorough safety test was done and I was also given a demonstration to get the fire going and how to get the most from my new wood burner. 10/10. Let's keep our tradespeople local.

    From going into the show room and actually being able to see the stoves with professional input from knowledgable staff. Site visit by John and competative quote. Other site visits from other companies had made the job sound horendous. John and Bill made it seem easy. Very efficient and professionally thought installment. All staff with this company are friendly and knowledgable. Looking forward to cosying up to the woodburner this autumn. Would definitely recommend

  • Removal of 2 gas fires, and replacement of one of them.

    9.25Verified Review

    In June 2023 two redundant gas fires were removed, one being replaced with a new flue less gas fire. One of the gas fires removed had a flue pipe that passed through the ceiling and out through the roof. The work, including the fitting of a vent (required by law), was carried out efficiently and neatly. The problem arose when the flue pipe was removed from the roof. Although tiles were replaced, a 38cm hole was left in the roofing felt. Subsequently a roofer has been employed at an additional cost of £816.00 to repair the roof correctly. RFC Services did not possess any roofing felt.
