Darren was a life saver when our freezer and cooker both broke down! He gave a friendly and efficient service and it worked out much more cost effective than replacing the appliances - highly recommend.

I really needed a fast repair on a washer/dryer. Over the phone, Darren identified it was a very easy fix (2-minute job) and gave advice on how to get rid of the fault. I was able to fix it myself after that guidance. Thank you Darren for your fast, professional and customer-focused response.

Fixed my broken oven quickly and efficiently, clearly very knowledgeable in his field. Was able to diagnose what the problem was at first point of contact and therefore came prepared and got the job done. Would confidently recommend to friends and family.

Ive been using Darren for years, he is always very professional, provides an excellent service, trustworthy, reliable and really fair pricing. He even helped my Grandma out at short notice when she was stuck with a broken down washing machine! I wouldnt go to anyone else.

My washing machine drum stoped turning and showed it needed a service. I spoke to Dave over the phone and he stated it was more than likely to be a motor issue and i was better off going to Samsung for the 10 year warenty. So nice to know someone can be stright with you and have your best interests at heart. He is now on speed dial for any other machine issues we may have.
