What our customers think of us on
Super service. Noticed the washing machine wasn’t working on Sunday afternoon. By 10am on Monday the appliance was fixed. Very impressive!
The customer service and professionalism of the engineers is exceptional. I’ve had this policy for years and have always been extremely satisfied.
British Gas appliance cover really is worth having. My washing machine wasn’t spinning – hey presto, the engineer got it working again and ordered new parts. Very pleased, thank you.
