Boiler service 24th August 2026

My latest experience as a BG customer is overall a positive one. The engineer came out and completed a boiler service in an efficient manner and stuck to the appointment time. The engineer was friendly polite and professional. I had no botheration with cancellation of appointment like I experienced a few years ago. BG seem to have improved just hope they keep on improving.
