"The customer service was second to none. Peter's team of engineers were a delight to have in the house — arriving on time, friendly, polite and extremely professional. James, Jack, Ben and Andy all worked very hard to get the house warm again as soon as possible."
"Pete and his team were efficient, helpful and friendly. If they hit a problem I was reassured they would solve it and they did. They gave me peace of mind and made the project exciting rather than stressful. They were honest and trustworthy."
"Peter Higson's crew worked solidly for 3 weeks to deliver me a fabulous bathroom. The men were extremely polite and amazingly cheerful all the time. They are prompt and very trustworthy. The work carried out is of the highest standard."
"Andy and his team have just completed a full rewire of my 2-bedroomed terraced property. From the initial quote, the team were very professional and open with their pricing. You may find cheaper quotes, however, they will struggle to match the standard of work."
"I have used this family firm over many years and have always been pleased with the standard of work, the professional attitude of the team, their helpfulness and trustworthiness. Well worth the money for excellent work, peace of mind, and an honest job in my absence."
"We had a full house rewire and lots of plastering, completed to the agreed schedule and budget — the price we agreed was the price we paid. They offered advice and suggestions as they went along. A 'can do' attitude and very professional. We would highly recommend Peter Higson and Co Ltd."
"Peter fitted us in quickly and arrived promptly. He explained what needed doing and why, tidied up as he worked, and completed all the paperwork that keeps our Worcester Bosch guarantee valid."
"His extensive knowledge of current but also traditional systems was invaluable — he needed to decommission the existing coal system and connect in the new one. The kind of expertise you rarely find these days."
