    Fire Safety Improvements: New Smoke & Heat Alarms, etc.

    Posted 04 November

    Tristan recently did a number of fire safety jobs in our holiday let: fitting new interlinked smoke & heat alarms and a new emergency exit light, PAT testing all appliances, and new controls to bathroom heaters. Routing the new cabling for the alarms was challenging, but Tristan achieved a really good result. He also previously bailed us out in August, when guests reported no hot water. Tristan fixed the problem (a burned-out switch) while the guests were out for the day, and we were 200 miles away! Once again, many thanks, Tristan, for your excellent service, on more than one occasion!

    Tristan was very professional and kept us updated on progress with the job, taking photos to show us what has been done because we were not at the property whilst the work was carried out

    EICR Testing and Report, PAT Testing and Report, and new immersion heater switches.

    Posted 03 January 2022

    Tristan's work is always excellent and well thought through - we have used his services on many occasions over the last 5 years - including installation of a new electric heating system. He sometimes needs chasing when setting up appointments etc., but he has helped us out in emergencies. We would highly recommend him.

    Power sockets fitted in garage.

    Posted 23 September 2021

    Reliable friendly and very helpful. We needed power at short notice for a new garage door. Although Tristan was very busy he made time to look at the job for us, provided a very reasonable quote and carried out the work well in time for the delivery of the new door. Good, reliable and honest person and I would have no hesitation in using Tristan again and will certainly recommend him to family and friends. Great job and left everything neat and tidy.
