Ben was friendly

Ben was friendly, upfront about possible outcome for our fridge freezer before he came out and on time for the appointment. Was able to get a replacement delivered the same day for a fair price

First class call out service. Friendly and very helpful

Nightmare! Why does a fridge breakdown during a heatwave? Anyway found Ben online and rang him. Brilliant service on call out. Came same day. Unfortunately fridge/freezer not repairable. That’s when real service kicked in. Our fridge/freezer is not standard size and has kitchen units designed around it so needed another the same size and quickly. Ben sourced a replacement perfect size plus loaned us a fridge whilst waiting for replacement. Would highly recommended this company

Very prompt response

Very prompt response, good communication, obviously experienced. Replaced the faulty part quickly and gave good advice as to how to proceed given the age of the oven.

Honest, reliable service

Arrived promptly. Fixed problem with cooker and gave sensible advice on future of my ancient Range master.
Haven't had to call him out for 6 years, whereas previous guy would fix cooker but it broke down again a year later. Trust Ben Smith's expertise and now wouldn't use anyone else.

Easy to phone and book an appointment, if you can not book online for any reason. Engineer turned up on time, within 4 hour slot, with a text in advance to say he was on the way.
Job diagnosed and repaired - all good.
Excellent service - thank you!
