A great local customer focused company

My recent commutations to the office, (both on the telephone and via emails), were both easy and quickly responded to by two very nice ladies. The following and subsequent visits to me by two different engineers were also excellent, as they were both polite and knowledgeable regarding the product. It is nice to deal with a company that is customer focused.

Very professional and friendly service to install a tricky stairlift with lots of twists and turns. Impressive precise workmanship carried out by Lee and Neal who were extremely courteous. Nothing was too much trouble and the finished stairlift has certainly made life easier. We were kept very well informed from the survey and quotation stage, to the ordering and fitting. Highly recommended. Sue C Galmpton

Hi Ann, thanks so much for your 5‑star review. We're glad we could help quickly and appreciate your kind words.

Good, but pricey spares.

The engineer was on time, polite and efficient.
I would have given 5 stars if we hadn't have to pay such a high price of £63 for 2 batteries which can be bought on the Internet for approx £25 (for 2 x Lucas brand).

They go the extra mile!

The company engineer was punctual, polite and simply got on with the annual inspection.

No problems there but he kindly drew my attention to a 'soft' stair and even offered to line up a carpenter for me as I am nearly 78 and in poor health. Brilliant!
