Excellent (again!)

Since 2020 I’ve had the annual boiler service carried out by Scott Findlay. As always, the service this year was efficient and thorough. The engineer, Martinus, was professional and courteous and explained the work carried out (replacing the heat exchanger gasket). The office followed up promptly via e-mail with the service certificate. Excellent all round.
