We’ve had about 3 different plumbers/heating specialists come out to sort our issue with no avail. Cue, James from Evo. Came in, very polite and personable. Identified the issue and sorted this 10year heating fiasco. James was very attentive, extremely polite and personable giving us reassurance the entire time he was here. We were so impressed we’ve already booked him in again to do further work. 10/10 for these guys!
