Helpful and knowledgeable company

Great that spares are available for our aga and this company is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. However I’ve deducted a star because P&P is far too expensive and cost much more than my order! It also took quite a while for my order to arrive. Otherwise I’d have given 5 stars.

ESSE Solo

Quick answers to questions about one of their older products for which I needed parts. A traditional British firm that I hope continues for many years to come.

Just brilliant

Fantastic! Yes it takes longer for items to arrive than Amazon, but this is a small company. When the parts did arrive for our old EC, I had to give Esse a call for advice on how to fit them. Greg was extremely helpful, it's so refreshing to use a company with such good customer service and who produce such great products. The Esse EC we got parts for is now 24 years old and still running beautifully, and our 2019 Bakeheart is just as robust. They're not owned by a faceless American conglomerate like other range cookers, they don't stop parts availability when the cooker hits ten years old and they don't try to sell you a new one. Just a good old fashioned British company with a long heritage, producing the best products they possibly can.

Poor delivery service

Wonderful Esse Stove and thankfully the company we purchased it from chased up the delivery. It was just the delivery service that let it down.

Ordering the parts I needed was easy but more info would have helped

Ordering the parts I needed was straight forward and friendly. The only problem was that I had to order the parts separately. If I'd been told the riddle bar attachment didn't come with the grate it would have saved a bit of time.
