“Good experience overall. Took a few hours to hear back but the engineer diagnosed a PCB fault from my description before he arrived. All sorted now.”
“Got 3 quotes within an hour. Engineer came next morning, replaced the heating element and the oven has worked perfectly since. Saved buying a new one at over 600 pounds.”
