“Punctuality”

Used them twice, once at office and once at home. They are two for two in my book. In both cases the initial call was answered by a competent human (Eddie in my case), the plumber who came out in both instances was on time, neat, professional, addressed the issue in minimal time. Very impressed. Will definitely use the again.
