The technician was clearly very experienced. He knew exactly how to fix things straight away. Whilst I can't fault any of the technicians that come, this one is my favourite. Very efficient.

Experience counts

Your engineer, Chris, has visited on several occasions. He is always polite and helpful if any problems arise does his best to address the issues. His main concern is keeping the system working with minimum fuss for the customer. His extensive knowledge of the system is a bonus.

Same mistakes yet again!!

Repeatedly told customer services to give me at least 1 days notice of a service appointment and the first time i knew about it was a text to say we were the next job. Don’t understand why this simple request cannot be followed. Service was completed in about 15 minutes on a fairly large site with plenty of sensors etc is not very thorough either!! Poor
