The engineer was excellent.

The engineer was excellent - polite, friendly, knowledgeable. He explained, clearly, everything he was doing. I was not so happy with the person doing the accounts. I received a premature email asking me to settle the bill. When I did pay on the day the engineer came, giving my name, as I hadn't received an invoice no. I was then asked to pay a week later. This was resolved quickly though.

Excellent service throughout.

Excellent service throughout.
Phoned in the morning and the engineer came out in the afternoon and fixed my faulty oven.
Wouldn't hesitate using this company again and recommend.
So refreshing to be able to talk to human beings rather than on hold for ages only to be connected to a robot. Well done everyone.

My appliances were very old models so they could not get the parts needed to repair them. They are a reliable business and otherwise they do repair and replace parts when available.

I will call them again if any appliance needs servicing.
