Nice ladies and staff, very approachable. Just one guy that needs to be kept away from the client. As he isnt so easy to deal with.

Contacted this firm to arrange a quote to replace/repair wooden fascia boards and guttering. Two men attended to assess the job. One of them even tried to get me to buy a new gas boiler. Almost THREE WEEKS LATER with no sign of a quote I telephoned their office. The lady I spoke to said the two men were not yet in at work but she would speak to them when they arrived and get back to me. Still waiting on a reply. Must be a VERY busy company if they can afford to treat potential clients like this. Guess who I wont be contacting when the boiler needs replacing. One star because they did turn up initially

We have used Aird for a couple of heating emergencies over the past few years and have found them to be extremely helpful, especially since this is for a property which we rent out and we are not always on hand. Prompt, arrived when stated, and efficient service, with offers of electric heaters when we had to wait a day or two for parts. We have had no issues and wouldnt hesitate to use this company again.

Haven't used their services but had one of their trucks pull out in front of me when they were trying to get on South bound 75 off of 29. Couldn't tell if the driver was on his phone or not.
