“Initial call fine explained everything issue not fixed,noisy boiler did not occur when at the property, also serviced boiler , little over 1 hour work. After noise still apparent and boiler started leaking water when on. Called to explain indicated it would be another call at there normal rate, explained that it did not leek prior to service they said nothing to do with service, told me was like taking your car into a garage for a service and then having a fault and blaming it on the service. Poor customer service I wish I had done a little more due diligence and not followed the reviews.

“Electrical Consumer unit (fuse box) needed urgent replacement as we had no power due to the old one failing and burning out. Spoke to Area Maintenance late morning, within 1 hour they were at the house...gave me an immediate quote, and then started the work early afternoon, with power back on late afternoon. During testing they identified a couple of faults on the lighting circuit. The next morning they returned and fixed the faults. Kenny the electrician was very professional and a friendly / honest guy . I would 100% recommend and use this company again”

“The company was quick and the handyman himself was polite, friendly, and worked to a good standard. The worker worked quickly to meet their time down and to save me money. Simple, no-frills solutions were suggested but the sanding and painting was left to me with some instructions. The filler used in the ceiling was not dry in the timeframe suggested and although was touch dry in places, I messed the filler up trying to sand it. They came out again next day but charged for the work. Despite the error occurring while following their instructions and them needing to touch up other parts.

“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.

“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.”

“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”
