Reviews

Chris came round to have a look at my house with regards to energy saving. He fitted foil behind my radiators, put energy saving bulbs in my lights, plus he put plugs in that turn standby off on the TV and side lamps when not in use. he was so helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. I wouldn't hesitate to call him if I need any more information.

The team was led by Richard. The lads were polite, tidied up after themselves and, important to me, I didn't hear one swear word. We have never known workmen as good as them. We were quite sorry to see them go - it felt like were saying bye to family! So a huge thank you - we are recommending you to every one we know!!
