John and the team did an outstanding job. It was easy to work with John and he was very knowledgeable, and provided very sensible advice.

Quality of the work undertaken was very good, considering the age of the building and complexity. Would recommend.

Came very quickly and completed the job (like-for-like electric shower replacement) satisfactorily, my only gripe is the price/cost. Said it would be about ÂŁ250 - ÂŁ350 at the start, on completion of the job the price had gone up to ÂŁ480 and he wanted it in cash. Not much I could do when the job's finished and the guy's standing in the house wanting to be paid. On reflection I feel I have been overcharged and should have waited for the other responses to come in but needed it doing.
