I recently had an electrical issue at my home and reached out to Entrust Electrics for assistance. I couldn't have been more impressed with the promptness and professionalism of their service. From the moment I contacted them, they were incredibly responsive, they scheduled a visit at a time that suited me, and they arrived promptly, wasting no time in diagnosing and fixing the problem. They conducted themselves with the utmost courtesy and expertise, explaining the issue in simple terms and outlining the solution clearly. Overall, I cannot recommend Entrust Electrics highly enough. Thank you, for your outstanding service!

Very happy with the standard of work Chris carried out. We had a new fuse box put in, sockets installed and a fault with our shower isolator remedied; all done efficiently and very neatly. Chris was professional, honest and got on with the job at hand. Competitively priced and wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use again. Nice one!

I cannot recommend Chris at Entrust enough. His knowledge is A1. His ideas and designs have the perfect balance to meet practical as well as aesthetic requirements. He is a very friendly and personable chap. He is very aware he is working in your home and we felt very comfortable leaving him to work independently and trusted him with keys to our property. His work standard is A1 as is his efficiency. His pricing matched his quotes and he went above and beyond in every way to make sure we were 100% happy with every aspect of his work. He was very tidy, always using dust sheets and vacuuming up after every visit. You wouldn't have known he'd even been here. We will never use anyone else. Do use Chris, you won't be disappointed.

We contacted Chris to install electrics and network cabling in our new office unit in Bristol. From the first meeting with Chris, all the way throughout the project, working with Chris was extremely collaborative and professional. Chris completed the work to a great level of quality, and was flexible when we had to make some minor design changes along the way. I would not hesitate to recommend Chris, and we will certainly contact Chris again for any future work.

DR Katherine and her team have been absolutely outstanding. I have neglected my teeth for many years and always found the Dentist a traumatic experience. From the first visit Katherine was amazing, reassuring me at all times and taking the time to explain the procedures and just simply put me at ease . I cannot thank you enough for restoring my faith back into dentists. Thank you thank you thank you xx

Dr. Emma Hobby was so so excellent. She made me feel seen in terms of my nervousness (46 year old man!). I needed to have a wisdom tooth extracted and she calmly explained every little thing she did, checking I was doing okay regularly. It was a tricky one as my tooth kept breaking but I never heard her get exasperated and she persisted and got it all sorted and removed. It healed well within a few days. Very impressed.

I recently had a new boiler fitted, the old one was many years old and beyond economical repair. Complete Gas & Plumbing came out the next day. The engineers did a fine job and were very clean workers. Reasonable costing too.

Very prompt with a visit to quote to repair a leaking pipe and then to complete the work. It required specialist knowledge and fitting. The partners and team were most helpful. We are delighted.

Really enjoyable visit. Having a look in the signal box was great. The chap explaining everything was very knowledgeable and answered any questions. Very interesting to see how everything worked before computers took over! Lots has been done since we last visited about 10 years ago. Wont be waiting that long for the next visit though! Great station cafe too and you can sit on the platform or in a carriage to eat and drink. The classic car display on when we visited was excellent and there was a wide selection of cars bikes and trucks. . Spent a lot longer here than we thought we might. Such a shame that the line was shut down in 1966. (My parents travelled on the last train)

A retired railway station along a flat cycle trail. A great place to stop, with a small shop (rail oriented), and a little cafe serving snacks like pasties and cakes. Step back in time having tea in a carriage and when you visit the tiny museum, and make sure you experience the old station loos. A lot of modernisation is going on to extend the track and looks like more steam engines are arriving. Not easily accessible by car.

We have visited frequently, and the cafe is run by friendly volunteers, and very homely. Usually a selection of cakes and sausage rolls / pasties and sandwiches. Good mug of tea too. There is the railway shop selling mostly rail related books with an overspill in a carriage outside. There is another carriage you can take the cafe food into, and benches outside. Don't miss the hidden garden at the end of the platform up the path; lovely views across the hills. Popular with walkers, cyclists and motorcyclists.

I've been meaning to visit this local pub for years. It's recently been taken over so thought we would give it a try. The interior is fresh, cosy and comfortable with a bar and restaurant area so you can take your pick. There are two great aspects here, the people and the food. You can tell it's a good team, the service was friendly and relaxed and one reason I would definitely go back for. The food was also great quality. A good range a vegetarian options and general choice, and excellent pizzas with dough from a local baker. Overall I would say this is a must visit and definitely a local business that needs supporting. They have the balance between service and food spot on!

My company works alongside GF electrical mainly on out of hours emergencies. I have to say that over the years I have found their service faultless and unsurpassed. The work we pass to them is often urgent and yet they always attend quickly and resolve the issue in hand. GF electrical operate in a very organised manner and you never have to chase them up for anything. Highly recommend them.

Total Energy Solutions installed a complete new bathroom and hot water supply for us. In the planning stages they were excellent and explained their reasoning for everything clearly, helping us to avoid problems later on. They were always on time, tidy, and efficient. The work was initially completed exactly on time, and when there was a snag with the shower tray they fixed it very quickly. I can definitely recommend them.

Total Energy serviced our boiler last year and couldn’t fault the service. Today after having a smart meter fitted by another company they found a gas leak and shut us off. I contacted the office and spoke to Matt who arranged for an engineer to pop over to have a look. The engineer managed to fix the problem and got us back up and running. Apologies I didn’t catch his name. Really appreciated, especially as it was late on a Friday afternoon when they were supposed to be finishing. 100% recommend. Excellent service and friendly staff

Total Energy Services have carried out various works for me including oil boiler servicing and emergency work to clear a blockage in my hot water system. On all occasions the engineers have been friendly and polite. They also take the time to explain what work they are doing and why. They are a highly efficient company which I highly recommend.

Pretty good service we had an oil boiler installed had a Few problem with the boiler not total energy fault but they sorted Pretty quickly. My only gripe is total energy have no emergency call out. So like us if something goes wrong at night or the weekend you have to call someone else out. So be prepared for this. Total energy you need to introduce a call out engineer.

I am very nervous of dentists and had not visited the dentist in years due to this. The dental nurses and dentist at the Blandford practice are very calming and patient. The dentist put my mind at ease and explained everything to me so that I could understand. The prices are fair and there are repayment options available that take the concern of being able to afford treatment away. I would highly recommend this dental practice and have lost alot of my fear of going to the dentist!

Cannot recommend highly enough. A phobia of dental procedures had stopped me from going to a dentist before, I hadn’t been in at least 20 years, and was absolutely dreading my appointment. Dr Singh was so lovely and patient, explained everything really carefully and was so empathetic. I went to two appointments (for three filings in total and a clean) and it was all fine, totally painless. Dentist was so careful and attentive all through the procedure, constantly checking if I was feeling ok. Completely put my mind at ease and helped me to overcome my anxiety! All round fantastic service, professional, friendly and caring.

I had a problem with no hot water, last week. So called Tom from TT Gas & Heating Services. He was able to come out the next day and see what the problem was. Found the problem inside the boiler and ordered the parts straight away. Tom was very clean and tidy whilst working and repairing the boiler. Tom did a fantastic job, would highly recommend him. Also coming back to do some smaller jobs.

Phoned TT Gas and Heating Services at 7pm on a Friday night because water was pouring through ceiling. Tom arrived in 20 minutes and stopped leak then returned 4 days later and replaced emersion heater. He was professional, pleasant, efficient and a true godsend in an emergency. He also charged a very reasonable rate for his services. I would strongly recommend TT Gas and Heating Services to others

I was in a hurry, arrived early, and asked reception if things were running to schedule. Tom, the hygienist, was there at the time. He very kindly escorted me from the waiting area straight in for my clean. He put me at ease, gave sound advice and was very polite. I was all too happy to have been seen earlier too!
