Unable to repair the electric water heater system they assured me on the phone they could do (3 years old), and never supplied the promised quote for a replacement. They did however charge a great deal for a small extra job they did whilst here. Maybe I was unlucky but I'll certainly not use them again.

I would recommend other people to use W S Howe & Co due to their reliability, good customer service as well ease to contact - they always answer the phone when I have rung exactly on their opening time.
