I have been using HSS Heathrow for the past few years. Always had a great service with the team of George, Justyna and Anthony getting what I want when I need.
Good service, reasonably priced, but most importantly getting the kit ASAP.

I don’t tend to write reviews
I don’t tend to write reviews but I have to give credit when you have received excellent customer service and experience.
I hired a carpet cleaner from Aaran Cooper at the Dewsbury branch and he was 100% so professional and knowledgeable
The rate offered was really competitive and he explained clearly and concisely how to work it.
I will definitely be using HSS again in the future.
Thank you Aaran
