Janice,

Sorry you feel this way. The works to remove your bath and create a more accessible shower area were carried out as described at the agreed cost for the panel option you selected. We raised your concerns with the panel manufacturers who agreed that they were installed correctly.

Easter Bank Holiday boiler breakdown

Came home from holiday Easter bank holiday and we had no heating or hot water ! Simon called back and quickly sorted Chris to come over today. Chris diagnosed the issues straight away and even had the parts ready on the van. Chris completed the annual boiler service at the same time as fixing the breakdown. Once again, great service from the team at Simon Archer Ltd.

Central heating

My son recommended Simon Archer, and I'm so glad he did. The engineer (sorry I didn't catch your name ) was polite and efficient. He soon found the fault and was soon able to fix it. When you are a pensioner and on your own I need someone I can trust and I certainly trust Simon Archer Ltd. Thank you.

They provided and promptly and polite service when I called them. They arrived on time and carried out the work efficiently and cleanly. I understand they will contact me later in the year when my boiler requires its annual service. I am sure they will

Would highly recommend this Company

Had a problem with intermittent hot water over a week . Emailed Simon Archer for advice . Within an hour I was contacted back . My main concern was that the boiler was safe to use as there was no error code. I was told it was and later that afternoon an engineer came out and detected a fault , ordered the part. The following afternoon had a call to say they would be fitting the part the next day . And true to their word the engineer arrived on time ,fitted the part .
Have had no problems with this company and I would highly recommend them . Have used them for years .

Been having a lot of trouble with downstairs loo, but after several attempts of trying to resolve the problem, a complete new cistern was installed and that seemed to be the answer. Having trouble with my showers leaking,but as I’m under warranty I will contact the company for an engineer to call. Simon and Chris are very helpful and have always tried to solve the problem for me..Would always recommend them
