“Kevin was great. The shower couldn't be fixed but he tried his best to sort it. He also had to climb a high ladder to sort an external waste pipe. We didn't think the ladder would reach but he wasn't going to leave without giving it a good go, and got it sorted in the end”

“Very good. Engineer Ian attended, was very pleasant, and explained some things about what he was doing during the boiler-service. I was given the opportunity to decide whether a small replacement could be effected, at an additional cost, or not. If they recommend it, I always agree, as they obviously know the consequences if certain things are ignored.”

“The extractor fan cover was fitted well. The burglar alarm box was not removed. I had explained to the company that it contained dead wires and a ladder would be needed. The ladder Area Maintenance brought was not long enough. They offered to rebook as a two man job but I declined as it would be too expensive.”

“David and Jason arrived as agreed and set to work repairing our fence. They removed existing fencing (double boarded) and kept as discussed. They removed and replaced 3 posts then replaced the section of fencing previously removed. Access to the posts was not easy to say the least. However, they persevered and successfully completed the job. This was a repair avoiding the need to replace the whole fence.”

“I was well pleased with the whole experience communication was spot on and both men took great care in moving object . After job done they asked if I wanted anything else moved rather then leg it back to Van . No I said there reply was I see you have weeds in garden give me your weed killer and I will spray them . After that settled agreed charge quick and simple, money well spent”

“Kevin the plumber came out from Area Maintenance to do the job today, it was a very awkward job for him to reach the shower waste trap. Previously Kevin explained if he couldn’t reach the trap from below he may have to take the shower cubicle to pieces and remove the tray. But Kevin did a great job going in underneath the shower tray no matter how awkward he was not going to be beaten, he explained what he would have to do and did it, he saved me a fortune. Kevin is lovely polite friendly and helpful man. I have always had good service from all the staff at Area Maintenance”

“Kevin T. (the plumber) came to see to a blocked kitchen sink (dual unit): it was a complicated job but he found a solution that was nothing short of brilliant; saw it though to completion within the same visit; never lost his sense of humour; tidied up afterwards; and was incredibly kind and considerate throughout. He comes with our fullest recommendation. (As far as I am concerned, Kevin T. Is not only an asset to the company, but to the profession.) This was our first time using Area Maintenance’s Plumbing services and we are most impressed.”

“I needed 2 new radiators fitted, not replaced, fitted and was dreading it. I got a flyer through my door and called them up as I was finding it hard to get anyone else to return my call. The business is a family ran business and it really shows. Genuine friendly and organised phone assistance and a very prompt turnaround time from quote to installation. The engineers worked hard and it wasn't an easy job, they were professional and cleared all mess away. I was delighted with the end result. I will definitely recommend them to friends/family and will look to book them again if I need to.”
