Afterglow helped me to install a new cylinder in my apartment in Birmingham City Centre. When I first contact Vic, he diagnosed my issue over the phone call straight away. In addition to this, Vic arrived on time and got to work without delay and also clean & tidy up in the end of his job. I would defo recommend Vic to everyone ! Excellent work and very professional.

Called afterglow to come and change a stop tap on the recommendation of Severn Trent. The gentlemen arrived on time and got to work without delay. In addition to this, he resolved another issue with the toilet flush and the kitchen tap without extra charge. Seriously cannot recommend this man highly enough, excellent work and very reliable and job done to a very high standard.
