He was a friendly and knowledgable…

He was a friendly and knowledgable engineer, who carried out his work so easily knowing everything there is to know about my boiler and it's operation. He pointed out a few things that the person who carried out the last service failed to do, and rectified them as they were an integral part of the operation he was here to fix anyway. I recommend Elite engineers, and they will be my first choice for my annual service from now on.

Easy to book
Engineer contact in morning with time of visit
Engineer very friendly, left with no mess
Took around 45 minutes.

The only slight criticism is that Ideal have previously reminded me when boiler service is due. This year i didn't get a reminder and was 6 months later than it should have been after i queried with them

Boiler Breakdown Resolution

I wasn't sure if the engineer was gonna come first thing as he had many appointments books but I insisted he came to me first because I suffer from ill health and we had water leaking all on the floor upstairs under the boiler I do need the heating urgently because I'm at high risk of lung disease and pneumonia so I did get forceful with him on the phone he agreed to come first thing now I was at work but my wife was at home he arrived promptly apparently my wife said he was friendly he did an excellent job was very clean all his work was tidy and he did a great job so I'm grateful for him to fix the boiler it runs lovely and it's back to normal which makes me happy to be in a controlled environment again for my health..

Engineer came out to do annual service on boiler. Gary is polite,friendly and well dressed and presentable . He knows where the boiler is so I just leave him to get on with it. He always asks to go put the back door to check the vent ,fills put the service book and explains anything if needed.
