Excellent company. Fitted a new boiler a few years ago that has been excellent. I have it regularly serviced by their engineers and they are always friendly and helpful, and do a good job. Would highly recommend this company.

Dave has carried out lots of work over the years for us, from fitting a new boiler and servicing it to helping when radiators aren't working properly. He is extremely helpful and his work is excellent. Not only that but he is friendly and always willing to go the extra mile. Fully recommended.

Always a worry having work done - but no need. David and his team did an excellent job. The survey was carried out by the guys who were actually going to do the work. A very thorough survey and any issues or concerns could be discussed. On the day: they arrived on time, smart clean well equipped vans, all in work uniforms. Rolled out dusts sheets all over the carpets ready for work. A quick chat about storing water for the loo, making the mortar, and for the tea. Old system out whilst another of the team installed the new boiler. Very well organised. Another contractor arrived and removed the waste (old boiler, tanks, cylinder etc.) Pipework is excellent - a true tradesman. The central heating system was thoroughly flushed through using a Magnacleanse machine (not Power Flushed). The machine chemically and magnetically removes system sludge (if there is any). It is worth looking at Magnacleanse machine (not the filter) on YouTube. David (the proprietor) is the third member of the team. So it isn't 'pot luck' who you are going get on the day. The end result: excellent job for the quoted price, genuine Bosch magnetic filter (not a cheaper quality one that some other firms use). All the instructions for using the new boiler and roomstat very well explained. The team are a 'team' and work very efficiently - I do recommend 1st Call Services. Keen price, supplied exactly what I wanted and did an excellent job.
