I found very poor. Despite servicing my boiler regularly and then me telling them the name of the boiler, I was charged £45 for a 10 minute call out to confirm the problem, which I explianed on the phone as well as saying what part was needed. we also felt we were overcharged for the part (£46 for a filling loop), plus £34 for a second call out. I will not use them again.

Firstly, Mr Fraser we would like to say thank you for choosing us to complete your boiler installation, from the survey we completed you acknowledged that we were the only company to quote you for everything you asked which is why we believe you chose us. Secondly, thank you for your understanding when one of our engineers was taken very unwell the week we were doing your install which did extend our stay at your home by 24 hours. We do hope you really make the most of your new Worcester Bosch 32CDi compact that Tom H fitted for you which has a 10 year parts and labour guarantee.

Thank you for taking the time to review our work Paul, our managing director Roger was the first person you saw when we attended to your property for a boiler breakdown. As a result we found it to be beyond economical repair and you allowed Andrei to fit a Worcester Bosch Greenstar ErP 12Ri and system filter which now gives you 10 years parts and labour warranty. See you next year for the first annual service.

From initial enquiry to final day of installation - 13 working days. This included 5 working days whilst I considered the quote. I have never received such a professional service from any other contractor. A couple of minor internal miscommunications proved inconsequential. Quite costly but you get what you pay for.

Roger wanted me to pass on his thanks for being so accommodating with your diary to allow the survey and work to happen within such a short amount of time.

We hope you like your shower now and contact us in the future with any more ideas.

From the quote onwards, I could tell these people knew what they were doing. I got asked a lot of questions by Roger, so that the quote would be accurate and the work done as planned. He also explained why their installation would take 2 days not one, as they did a powerflush rather than just a chemical clean in the radiators, which we needed as our radiators are fairly old. On installation days, John and his assistant came on time and were very easy to have in the house. They explained everything well and left the house in the state it was found. When there was noises in the radiators they came back quickly and liased with the new man as they weren't able to hear the noises when they came back the first time. He then knew exactly what to do and fixed it. Not our cheapest quote but very thorough and clear work.
