Dan just replaced our old boiler and put a new radiator in our house. He has done an excellent job. All work done very professionally. He left everything clean and tidy. I will definitely call him again for any future plumbing and heating need I may have and highly recommend him to anybody. Thanks

We've used Dan on a couple of occasions. Firstly to replace our old boiler. Which was by no means an easy job. Dan completed the work promptly within a day and left the house clean and tidy. Most recently Dan came to our rescue as our hob and oven packed up just before Xmas. We couldn't be there whilst Dan completed the work so we left him unattended at the house. The work was once again carried out swiftly and the house left exactly as it was before. Good, clean, trustworthy tradesman. Definitely use again. Many thanks Dan for getting us out of a Xmas pickle!
