Excellent service

Mark and Russell could not have been more helpful in advising on a new boiler. Communications with the office were excellent. The job was done on time and on budget with the minimum of disruption. I have no hesitation in highly recommending them.

Prompt and Professional

After being let down by another company, we contacted Monaghan Mechanical on recommendation from a friend who had previously used them. Conor came out the next day and fixed the leak on our radiator with no issues and was extremely clean and tidy in doing so We would definitely use Monaghan Mechanical again and have already passed them on to other friends who they have completed work for!

Swans Bay decorating

Very good work completed by Tymo and his son Roman, which I'm very pleased with. They painted the hall, stairs and upper landing. All completed in a professional, timely and friendly manner, punctual and tidy. I would not hesitated to recommend to family and friends”

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish! If you're looking for a loft insulation and/or cavity wall insulation then look no further.
I had a loft and cavity walls insulation done. Communication was great throughout, prompt responses to any of my questions keeping me informed on timings, progress and what each job required. The loft insulation team worked very efficiently, mindful, respectful and very friendly. They cleaned everything after them including a good vacuuming of the stairs. They made sure I was happy with their work before leaving. The wall cavity insulation was carried out on a different day. The crew worked so well, very efficient and highly professional. Nick, who did the bulk of the work, did an amazing job. Even more so because he worked so efficiently despite it being 34°C! He and the rest of the crew left everything tidy, clearing out any rubble and debris. I wrote a review for them on Checkatrade which doesn't do them justice as the website limits the word count. I wholeheartedly recommend Infill Energy!
