The work men were very professional
The work men were very professional. They got stuck in and had the job done in hrs. No mess cleaned after them. Hoovered the landing and stairs. They sat with us to explain all about the system. I would highly recommend them

The level of customer service from the company overall was good.
Service was efficient on the day of installation. The 5 tradesmen worked well on the day. The installation didn't intrude for the most part.

Hi Mary, thank you for your review. We’re glad you were happy with the professionalism, punctuality, and service throughout.
Excellent and competent installation. Very efficient and well installed.
Excellent and competent installation teams. Excellent sales and administration staff. Very efficient. Health and Safety is important to the staff and they had to take great care to ensure the roof work was completed safely. On the first day the winds were too high and the installation team said they could not install the panels as it was not safe.
As a health and safety professional I was in full agreement. It is good that the company and the staff ensure health and safety is the highest priority.
The second day the installation was completed very quickly and efficient. All great lads and very friendly.

Hi Siubhan, thank you for your 5-star review.
Complete professionals
From start to finish the process was simple, from the initial quotation to the final sign off. The lads on the day of the install were complete professionals and the standard of work completed reflects how professional the lads were. Nothing was rushed, nothing was to much trouble and we were walked through the whole system and how it works at the end. Can't recommend enough

Activ 8 installation April 26
From our first meeting to the end of the installation Activ8 did everything they said they would. The installation team were top class and I was amazed it was completed in an afternoon. At the end of the installation the head of the team showed me everything that had been fitted and explained the system simply and very clearly. I was very impressed with all the staff I dealt with over the telephone and in person from Activ 8
