Highlights
“Initial problem which had flummoxed 3 others successfully resolved in minutes. Despite tricky in-situ old gravity fed system - creative and workable solution of new combi boiler and quote provided same day as initial repair. Work booked in very professionally and pleasantly. Work carried out with gusto, speed and efficiency. No messing about. I’d go as far as to say watching Matt work is comparable to watching Federer play tennis, or O’Sullivan play snooker. It was magic. Made it look easy. I’m chuffed to bits. If you are thinking of using Matt - don’t hesitate - you are lucky to have found him.”
“Booked Matt for a service. No issues with the service itself however my boiler had a leaking pipe which he alluded to being a non-issue. He wasn't able to give me a more detailed explanation. It took me 3 weeks of chasing up to be told (via his secretary) that I needed a new boiler! Apparently the leak was due to a faulty heat exchanger. All this after he had left the boiler service saying my boiler was running fine and had no issues! Confused! I got a second opinion and it was clear Matt had mis-diagnosed the issue. Would have preferred if he just told me he wasn't familiar with my boiler.”
