Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Detailed reviews
A friendly and reliable service, I would highly recommend E C Cole for new installations and servicing of existing boilers. The new boiler was installed very efficiently and the area kept clean and tidy while the work was being carried out.
Gas engineer found that the main circuit board was failing. He advised replacement. The office phoned back the same day with a quotation which I accepted. Had a subsequent call one working day later saying the part had been sourced and the engineer had had a cancellation and turned up 15 mins later. The work was completed within the hour. Very satisfied with all aspects of the response.

Gas work is restricted by law to Gas Safe registered engineers. If they'll touch a boiler or any gas appliance, confirm they're currently on the register before you hire - it's free and takes a minute.
Check the Gas Safe RegisterConfirm they cover your area and can actually come out in your timeframe before anything else.
Read recent reviews for reliability and turning up on time, not only the quality of the work.
Agree the call-out fee up front, and be wary of large upfront deposits for an emergency job.
