First Class, would recommend Philippe without hesitation. His works included the removal of a complete gas central heating system, installation of a new consumer unit, installation of new electric radiator heating system and first fix works for our kitchen. All work was completed to a very high standard. Philippe is very meticulous and has risen to the many challenges that our home has presented to him. He has worked for us on 4 separate occasions and we have already arranged for him to come back and complete more work for us.
