Exceptional Service from Harlequin Home Improvements

We recently used Harlequin Home Improvements to install a wood burner at our home. From the initial consultation to the final installation, our experience with Graham, was absolutely flawless, and we are thrilled with the results. Graham's extensive knowledge, experience, and his character stood out right from the start. He demonstrated an in-depth understanding of our needs and provided valuable insights that helped us make informed decisions. His professionalism and genuine passion for his craft were evident. The installation of the Ecosy multifuel stove took three days, and Graham's punctuality and dedication were commendable. He arrived precisely as scheduled and diligently worked all day. What impressed us the most was how impeccably tidy he kept the work area. The respect he showed for our home was appriciated. One of the standout qualities of Graham was his unwavering attention to detail. It was evident in every aspect of the job, ensuring that we received a first-class installation. We really appreciate his recommendation of a beautiful slate hearth, which has transformed our living room and added a touch of elegance to the entire space. We give Harlequin 5-stars. Graham's exceptional work and commitment to excellence have left us vey pleased with the results. Thank you, Graham, for your great work and outstanding service. We couldn't be happier with the outcome!

Graham was contacted to provide a quote and advice on the installation of a wood burning stove in our lounge. He was knowledgeable and provided general advice about the type and style of stoves to consider as well as the fire surround. Graham responded to all my queries with phone calls and emails. Graham installed the stove after opening up the chamber in the chimney breast, fitting a new lintel and fire proof surrounds. His workmanship is very good and everything was clean and tidy at the end of each day. I am very pleased with the final result. Graham returned a few weeks later to fit the beam above the fireplace. I will be asking Graham to return next summer to 'service' the stove and chimney.

Graham fitted a new wood burner for us. Nice detailed quote, explained everything that was going to be done. Saved us money as some work wasn’t needed. He didn’t rush and we are really pleased with fitting and service. We will definitely use Graham to sweep our chimney annually.

We needed a replacement Woodburner and a friend recommended Graham Dickenson from Harlequin Home Improvements to us. Graham came to assess what we needed and was very helpful in offering us advice about which Woodburner to have, how to deal with safety issues, etc. We arranged for him to fit the new Woodburner and modify are chimney appropriately. We are extremely pleased with the work he has done. He was very thorough and completed the work with minimum disruption. In addition, the cost of fitting the replacement Woodburner was very reasonable, and certainly cheaper than we had initially assumed it would be. He did an excellent job. We recommend him very highly.

I found Graham from Harlequin Home Improvements very helpful and professional. I am renovating an Art Deco house which only remaining original piece was the fireplace. I was keen to see my different options which Graham investigated and provided me with costing options that were within my budget. The work once agreed was carried out without any mess or fuss, I wouldn’t have realised they had been in if it were not for a wonderful and tested open fire, complete with Hestas certificate and a new chimney cowling which was in keeping with the property. I would highly recommend Graham and team.

Graham spent a number of visits solving complex problems of warped doors, replacing seals, fixing latches and generally cleaning and refitting the burner so that it is as new. Graham was always polite, thorough, clean and tidy. Nothing was too much trouble. I can not recommend him highly enough.
