    Belinda - Image 1 "Bob responded quickly to my initial enquiry and came round to have a look. He identified low water pressure and with that advised that he could replace and fit a Triton T80 8.5kw. His quote was very reasonable. Bob came on time and was respectful of my property. He made sure that he checked shower was working and sorted at the right temperature for me. He tidied up afterwards and overall provided an excellent service. I will definitely use him again."
