Voucher’s

I have been trying to get my Amazon voucher for a referral from my daughter,
They either give you an email which has no reply or a phone number which is a message and again no reply.
I have asked 4 times so I think it’s time to give up and just add my review to this site

Excellent service

It was so easy to arrange the quote for a new boiler and the sales advisor was brilliant and so knowledgeable. Unfortunately the quote isn't very competitive which at the moment is a key factor when choosing a supplier.

Great service by Glen

Glen our gas engineer who serviced our boiler today did a great job. He's clearly very experienced as spotted one of the issues straight away before seeing the problem. Was all fixed and was also given some vital advice about a carbon monoxide detector we have which we have since brought a better quality based on his advice. Was lovely chatting with him also 👍 keep up the great work Glen x
