Official checkOn the public register
Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 6 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“Michal is super knowledgeable about aternative energy solutions. He was very patient giving us quote adjustments while we settled on exactly what we wanted. No sales pressure. Always focused on the technicals.”
“We tried to find someone to repair and service our solar thermal system. Many said that it couldn’t be repaired and had to be replaced. Michal and his team not only repaired it but also serviced it. The cost was very reasonable and the communication was excellent. It’s now running so much more efficiently and the best it’s been since we moved in 4 years ago. Brilliant team and brilliant service.”
“Outstanding advice, problem solutions and high standards of professional work at quoted prices. AHSL are a busy family run firm; we found their approach was trustworthy, friendly, careful, helpful and reliable from the first visit to completion. The actual work was carried out at pace, although weather conditions and other contracts did cause inevitable delay. They are aware we felt some informal communication about schedules could be improved, but they are justifiably in high demand and worth the wait. We hope to agree further energy saving work ahead, and highly recommend.”
