LMB responded the same day to repair a gas problem I had. Other companies I contacted were unhelpful, and most of them actually declined the work. LMB were positive & engaging from the start, fixed the problem and charged a fair price. Highly recommended, ask for Lloyd.
LMB replied
Appreciate the feedback Nigel, pleasure to do work for.
