This Father and Son team came in and righted the wrongs after another firm left us without heat or hot water for 49 days! Reid fixed the problem in 3 days and that included waiting for the part. They are an extreemly efficient firm and would highly recommend them for their skill and friendly and polite manner.

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.

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 21 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.
