Marcus came out promptly and clearly knew his stuff - he diagnosed the washing machine as worn carbon brushes and the oven as a blown fan element, and quoted fairly for the parts and labour on both in the same visit. No pressure at all. I've held off booking only because I'm still weighing up whether to repair or replace the appliances, which is nothing to do with him.

Thanks very much, Marcus - it was good to meet you. I completely understand wanting to weigh up repairing versus replacing; there's no rush and no pressure at all. The quote for the washing machine carbon brushes and the oven fan element stands whenever you decide. If it helps, I'm very happy to talk through the pros and cons of repair versus replacement on either appliance - sometimes it's well worth fixing, sometimes it isn't. Just drop me a line whenever you're ready.

Blind / Curtain / Shutter - Installation
Marcus,

Marcus measured and fitted the blinds in all four rooms and put up the curtain pole over the lounge bay, all neatly done and on the day arranged. The rollers in the kitchen and bathroom and the bedroom blinds look great. The only snag was one bedroom blind came back a touch narrow, so that one needs re-ordering and refitting - he's arranging it, but it means a second visit. Otherwise very pleased.
Ellery Home Services Ltd replied
Thank you, Marcus - really glad the blinds and the bay pole came together well for you. You're quite right about the one bedroom blind: it came back a fraction narrow, so I've already re-ordered it to the correct size and will refit it promptly at no extra charge as soon as it arrives. My apologies for the second visit - I'd much rather it was exactly right than nearly right. I'll be in touch the moment the replacement is in. Thanks for your patience.

Garage Doors - Installation / Repair

Marcus fitted the insulated electric roller door neatly and it's a huge improvement on the old up-and-over. Both the remote and the manual override work perfectly, and the garage is already noticeably warmer and far less draughty. He left everything spotless and the final price came in exactly as quoted. Genuinely couldn't fault the job.

Thank you so much, Marcus - this made my day to read. Delighted the insulated roller door has made the garage warmer and that both the remote and the manual override are working just as they should. It was a genuine pleasure to fit, and exactly the kind of job we love doing. If you ever need anything adjusting or a quick service down the line, just give us a shout. Enjoy the warmer, draught-free garage!
