    Boiler Installation

    When we decided to purchase a new boiler, we found Jan online and contacted him. He soon got back and visited us to discuss our options. He knows his stuff. Jan gave us excellent advice, and we bought our new boiler on his recommendation. Jan soon returned for the installation, which went very smoothly indeed. The work was carried out whilst we were both working from home. We were not at all disturbed by Jan’s presence. He kept us informed at all times of what he was doing. Jan did everything he said he would and delivered excellent service. We would without doubt recommend him to others.

    Boiler Instal. 10/10 service

    This is the second time I’ve used this boiler installer, and honestly, I couldn’t be happier with the service. There were two of them—both really friendly, polite, and easy to talk to. They showed up on time, explained everything clearly, and just cracked on with the job without any fuss. What they said they’d do, they did—and they did it really well. The team was professional, polite, and really considerate — they laid down blankets to protect the carpets and made sure everything was spotless before they left. I’ll definitely keep using them in the future. Couldn’t recommend them enough!
