    "Fantastic, very honest and good work I highly recommend to anyone looking for an honest boiler repair. We had originally called a local repair who wanted to charge us nearly £500 for work and a part, however being the suspicious type I didn't feel happy with what was being said. I went looking and came across 1st Call Services, they came out looked at it informed me it didn't need a part but it was clogged so they cleaned it all up and made sure boiler was working well, at a fraction of the cost. They were polite and helpful and I cannot recommend them any more highly 5 stars all the way. Thank you"

    "Regular boiler engineer failed to call back several times to resolve heating problem! Phoned David on the Friday and was available to visit early Tuesday. Identified problem and boiler back to normal within 1 hour. Will definitely use again. Very satisfied customer!"
