“First class service from my initial enquiry to my log wood burner being cleaned by Andrew the following day. He went the extra mile to show me how to get the best from my log burner, he is extremely professional and friendly. I will definitely be using Andrew for my servicing and cleaning in the future. Thank you for offering a great service at very reasonable prices and for going the extra mile which is rare these days.”
