The man lives up to every word that has been written about him. He is a genius! I had a problem with my central heating that had been ‘solved’ by two people before him. But it persisted. He did a completely thorough job, turned up on the day I called him, actually did solve it, explained what he had done and left, leaving me feeling confident and relieved . Thank you so much, Carl.

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.

Carl has been super helpful, fast, reliable and true to the price quoted.
Annual boiler service carried out efficiently and very tidily, especially as the boiler was in the garage in awkward position. Asked for a quote on some further work and received a quote quickly which was more than fair. Due to health issues this will not be carried out immediately.

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.
