The Thomas Graham plumbing team completed my new boiler installation and the free gas fire…read moremaintenance in one day (as promised) with no additional costs to their very competitive quote. I have to compliment them on the excellent manner in which they went about the work. They were all very courteous, helpful, pleasant and went out of their way to explain the operation of the new system in simple terms. The installation looks very good and they did a first-rate job of cleaning up all of the work areas. The whole exercise from first enquiry (less than 2 weeks ago) to final completion has been carried out in a most professional manner and I would be more than happy to recommend this excellent firm to any other person looking for a new boiler installation. Their service and workmanship was nothing short of awesome. Mrs C R Sankey

Had to review this company as we just had a washing machine fitted by them today…read more Originally, the machine was due to be fitted on Thursday but due to a mix up by our landlord, the wrong machine was ordered. The fitter apologised (even though the mistake wasn't his) and offered to fit it on Saturday (his day off) as they were fully booked for Friday and he lived locally. He did a very neat job of removing the old machine, spilling hardly any water and cleaning up the little there was. As the new machine was a different model, the integrated door front had to be adjusted...he took the time to clean up the sawdust from drilling the new holes for the hinges! The new machine is now fitted, more neatly and perfectly level (unlike the original machine). All the packaging was taken away (in his van, rather than filling up our bin) which was a very nice touch. Before leaving he took the time to explain the controls and settings, again a nice helpful touch rather than just saying "there's the instruction manual". Overall, I was VERY impressed with the level of customer service and efficiency of the engineer.

Those looking to unleash the interior designer within themselves can do no better than to come…read morehere. It's not particularly cheap, but if it's modern and slightly more unique items you are after then this is the place you are looking for. However, it should be noted that this place does not deal exclusively in lights and also offers other interior items generally including some sort of relationship to light in one form or another such as a number of items of furniture consisting of mirrors as their external surface. IF you do want something a bit more specific and have the money to spend then a visit here might be in order.

I was a little confused as I walked up to Cotterell Lighting store in the Newington area. I was…read morepresented with what appeared to be a beautiful old church but the "Sale now on" said something different. Then, I noticed the huge signs for "Cotterell Lighting" and I decided to pop in. I was still really confused and wondered if I was entering some kind of bizarre lighting cult. As soon as I entered I realised that it was indeed a shop, and it sold lighting, all kinds of lighting, in every design you could think of. There were two friendly staff members working who just told me to give them a shout if I needed any help so I decided to browse. I couldn't believe how many different lighting styles they had and if you're looking for a new lampshade or light then you will find exactly what you're looking for here. In addition to lighting they also do a small amount of furniture. I noticed a really cool mirror ball light, a lampshade on a stand that was designed to look like a fish bone and a huge mirror that I like instantly as it made me look better than I actually do. I have to admit, it was a little odd walking around an old church and it was pretty much intact apart from the missing pews. When I looked up I could see that the upper seating of the church was still there and if that area was still accessible you could have taken a seat and looked down at the now lighting shop. The creaking floor boards were still there as were the stained glass window and painted high ceiling. It seems a waste that such a beautiful church is now just a shop and even stranger that it hasn't been disguised as a shop. I'd recommend visiting under the guise that you need a new lightbulb, as it really is an experience.

Blacklee have now fitted two consumer units (the proper name for fuse board), moved a socket, and…read morechanged light fittings across two different flats. All of which have been fitted quickly, look good and work well. Kevin responds to emails quickly and has been able to schedule work within a couple of weeks. I'm sure he'd do things quicker if needed but everything hasn't been urgent or time critical. I got a comparative quote before I got the first lot of work done and Blacklee was a tiny bit cheaper than the other company. Since then I've just gotten an estimate from Blacklee and gone ahead with the work. I have quite a bit more electrical work to be done in the next year and I expect it all to be done by Blacklee. Sorry Kev, you'll need to cope with my love of top floor flats for a bit longer.

I've used this company twice now and both times been delighted with the work I've had done…read more First time round was downlighters in my living room which turned out far better than I'd hoped for. We originally wanted 8 but Kevin spoke to us and recommended 12 and have to say the completed ceiling looked pretty cool. He's just away again after upgrading my fuseboard to a more modern one and fitted some LED spots in my kickplates and the work was done well again. A lot of tradespeople are unreliable but I've found Kevin to be punctual (sends a text when on route if requested) and happy to explain how things work. Additional marks for cleanliness - they even vacuumed my floor which was most pleasing!

I have the displeasure of coming across Ally when I needed a team to lift my American style…read morefridge-freezer up three flies of stairs. After talking with Ally and agreeing a quote for a job, explaining dimensions, kg, width of our doors, that I need to have it rearranged to be delivered, that it comes delivered by AO, that when I will arrange it I will get a text in the morning of the delivery with a 4hrs time slot and then I will let him know when will the fridge be in. After confirming he is up for the job I have arranged next day delivery. I informed him and repeated that I will not know the time slot until the morning and then I will let him know. He replied: 'Ok I have lots of other jobs too So you know to tell them to leave it outside until we arrive I am going to juggle jobs around just for you But we are expert and can keep everyone happy'. Quite happy by that point, I can obviously understand they have other jobs so I can have the fridge waiting on the ground floor until they have a gap to come and lift it up the stair. The next day in the morning I had AO calling and confirming that the fridge will be delivered between 4pm and 7pm, so I rushed to inform Ally so he knows when to come around and knows what time it will be in etc. Suddenly, I get phone from him and he start to talk to me that it will cost him money, that he told me that whats the delivery drivers are like. (I specified clearly that I will get 4hrs window) He continued that he need to pay wages, that its after 5:30 pm so he has man who are paid 10 12 per/h and that it may cost more. I responded that he gave me a quote (he never mentioned that the cost may change depending on the time of the day) and that's not right to suddenly tell me it will depend how much it will cost. He started getting very rude and abrasive, while I talked he even said 'let me finish' in very rude tone of voice. I pointed this is not very professional as a business owner to act like that and he got to the stage of shouting, rising his voice to me etc. Long story short I ended the call politely and absolutely upset and shocked with the way I was talk to started looking for someone else. Found another contractor in 2hrs, after confirming the job etc I was writing txt to let Ally know. He called me before I send it to him (from different number so clearly thinking I may not pick up) I said I don't need his service anymore, he was trying to be falsely polite saying that he's happy for me. When I also said 'I don't appreciate the way you spoke to me today and find it very unprofessional' he again started shouting, I disconnected immediately, with me and my fiance hearing him shouting 'I don't care what you think!' We couldn't believe how someone can think they can run business like that, shocking. Advice: Get someone else! There is plenty of professional people out there who will stick to their word and a plus they will not abuse you! Save yourself some stress and time. To top that, straight after I have posted this review on his fb page he called me on my mobile! - blocked
