Report
I called APFreeman and Alex came out to quote the same day. Many I had called before never bothered turning up. Alex was polite and professional. He gave a very competitive quote and I felt comfortable excepting excepting on the spot. Alex talked through the costs and was able to fit the work in when I needed it. Communication was good and his guy's arrived as planned. Both of his guy's were very polite and respectful and made short work of the job. When that had completed the work I was pleased with how well everything went and how clean and tidy they had left my House. I can highly recommend

The best and speediest company I have ever used. Phoned the company yesterday afternoon and this morning two electricians came round and fixed the problem. They were courteous and tidy and cleared up before they left. My thanks to the company
