We have used Andy for numerous jobs. To name but a few, we had our whole house rewired and he did an excellent job. There was no mess, Andy is such a tidy worker! There were no hidden fees and everything that was promised was carried out to the highest standard. Will wholeheartedly recommend to my family and friends! A brilliant service. Thanks again Andy!

It was a pleasure dealing with Andy. From the time he came to give us a quote to the time the work was completed, Andy was nothing but professional, polite and friendly. He carried out the jobs I'd asked for quickly and efficiently, and upon finding some faults with the existing electrics he spent lots of time testing all of the sockets to identify the fault and ensure that the circuit was safe. He went above and beyond expectations and I would recommend him highly.

We were so pleased with Andy and would recommend him to anyone. He did a complete rewire of an edwardian house, plus various other bits and pieces. He is the only tradesman I haven't had to chase and is such a good communicator. He is thoughtful and considers the people behind the project and is flexible to their needs. He consistently under-promises and over-delivers and at a fair price. Thanks Andy, you'll be hearing from us again soon as we approach the next stages of our project.

Had an issue with my boiler on a Sunday and needed an emergency call-out. Adam from PowerPlus Heating arrived promptly and did a fantastic job. He quickly diagnosed the problem, explained everything clearly, and got my heating and hot water back up and running. Professional, knowledgeable, and efficient—couldn’t have asked for better service. Highly recommend PowerPlus Heating and Adam for anyone in need of a reliable heating engineer.

Power Plus Heating did a great job for us. They fitted a quality boiler within a day, came back to flush our heating system and ensured all our radiators were piping hot. They also gave us maintenance advice, made sure we knew how to bleed the heaters correctly and keep the correct settings on the boiler. Sab was very informative in teaching us how to take care of our heating system, and answered all of our concerns. The team were very friendly too. I would definitely recommend them.

I called Powerplus heating for an emergency call out (my hot water was not turning on) and with the cold weather it essential. They sent out an engineer who managed to diagnose, resolve and fix the issue within an hour! -Impressive service and great workmanship. Bearing in mind it’s the winter I was expecting a hefty bill, but that wasn’t the case. Very Honest, will be sure to use them going forward. Thank you to Saboor and the team.

I needed a new gas cooker installed and Saboor did a great job installing the new cooker and performing a gas check before and after. We also had a small leak which he picked up quickly and fixed it. Also came out on a Sunday as I urgently needed the new cooker installed so all thumbs up for Saboor and highly recommended him.

MK did a fantastic job for us replacing a small bathroom. They had to take everything back to scratch and were excellent. Very reliable, high quality work and beautiful tiling. We are extremely happy with the work and definitely recommend. The quote was accurate and I was informed beforehand of additional costs.

Amazing service and fast. Pipework looks excellent and is very well built. Delivered within two days. Brilliant service. I needed piping for a dishwasher and washing machine installed - reasonable price and looks very robust.

Not used the company prior to this morning. Manol agreed to come out for an emergency leak in the busiest season. He has done a marvellous job not only of fixing the leak but also tidying the rest of the sink set up as well as checking for any other leaks. Job looks very professional and is value for money too. Thoroughly recommend

Rating: 5 / 5

Manol and his wife managed the bathroom renovation project together and they are both very friendly and helpful. They responded to messages super quickly and gave us good advice when we were choosing all our new bathroom supplies, and they also drove us to pick up the tiles and Manol picked up other supplies for us which was helpful. Jonida was great at keeping everything organised and keeping track of the receipts and payments. The tiles and all the fittings look really nice and we are happy with the result! Manol has also replaced all our radiators and installed the new ones and they look lovely.

My business Clarity Copiers Bham based in Solihull had the pleasure to purchase a new van through F&F and they were very profesional throughout the whole process. I have no hesitation in recommending them 5*.

AB Plumbing fitted a new boiler for me. The team were professional, polite & responsive. It transpired that we had low gas pressure and Adam liaised with the council to get this sorted out, turning what could have been a saga for me into a non-event. I'm very pleased with their service and would recommend.

Adam was very great and took time to explain what the issue was . The most impressive thing about Adam was how supportive he was. He was always on time and I was never anxious as to of he would turn up. Would highly recommend this young man.

Adam has done a couple of jobs for us now. We found him to be very knowledgeable and helpful, and he took time to explain all options to us. He is extremely organised and professional. We are very happy with the work he’s done for us and will use him again in the future. I would definitely recommend Adam and found his pricing fair and reasonable.

Rating: 5 / 5

Adam is professional, thorough and knowledgeable. We had an emergency call out on a Saturday morning and his prices were competitive and he was very transparent about the costs. He very clearly explained what he had found to be the problem and what investigations he had done. He also gave options for a future long term solution but ensured we had electricity and heating back in the house before he left. We would not hesitate to recommend him.

Rating: 5 / 5

We’ve accidentally cracked our electric hob and Adam could have not been of more help and saved us pretty quickly! Prior to him coming round to install it, he helped me assess if the replacement I’ve picked will work, walking me carefully through the things he will need to successfully carry out the job. He was really helpful, considerate and so thorough at responding and keeping in touch. We were really pleased with his work and will definitely be contacting him in future if we require further electrical works done in our home!

My partner and I attended on a Saturday evening to celebrate her upcoming birthday. My partner is Gluten Free, and Harborne Kitchen went out of their way to accommodate that dietary requirement. We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we stepped in. We were greeted by all the staff and even the chefs all said allow as we walked by the pass to our seat. We both went for the tasting menu. And I had the wine pairing. The food was exceptional. Beautifully presented, and each plate was introduced to us by one of the chefs. There are one or two reviews on here complaining about portion size. I think the problem here is common with a taster menu. Especially the Malloreddus. That dish was so good. I wanted to get a big big bowl of it, change into my fat pants, sit on my sofa, and scoff the lot. We were both waddling out of the restaurant after, so there are no complaints from us about portion size. My only criticism is the tomato course, which is literally a slice of tomato with a couple of onions chucked on. Served with a little bit of stock. I can't understand why it is on a taster menu at a fine dining restaurant. The decor was nice. The atmosphere was very pleasant. Good vibes all round. And we appreciated the birthday wishes with a chocolate treat. Thank you, Harborne Kitchen. We will definitely be back soon 😋

We came here for an anniversary meal and had the five courses for £55 menu. It was all absolutely delicious. The ‘chips’ served with the roe were so good no other chip will ever be the same again. The atmosphere was lovely and relaxed with a great eclectic playlist. The staff was delightful and we loved watching the chefs hard at work in the open plan kitchen. We spent £170 including two drinks each, cheese board and tip. Very reasonable for a fine dining experience that in my opinion was as good as some of the Michelin starred restaurants I’ve been to. Well worth it for a special occasion. Thanks HK team!

Very nice restaurant serving upscale British cuisine. We went there during the week so it was rather quiet, which we actually prefer. The restaurant has a nice bar in the front of the house, where you can enjoy a range of interesting and imaginative cocktails, but they serve classics too. The restaurant part is at the back and you pass an open plan kitchen with bar seats as well, where you can see all the master preparation, it's really interesting! There are normal tables as well obviously, further back. We had a tasting menu with wine pairing. I really enjoyed the finger food that comes before the main menu, but all dishes were great. Some interesting matches, but also some surprisingly simple dishes like a pasta with butter, truffle and cheese, were absolutely delicious, and nicely paired with the wine. You can taste the quality of ingredients, and masterful preparation just completes the dish. The service is impeccable, friendly and knowledgeable. The sommelier was particularly good, clearly knowing his trade, but also very approachable and nice to talk to. The whole menu comes to about 8 or 9 dishes, so it's a lot, and we struggled a bit to finish it all! The experience was very good and I can definitely recommend it.

A lovely place to have a Valentines meal. Such attentive but relaxed service. The food was exceptional tonight and the wine pairings spot on.

I had been looking for an Electrician to do some modifications and repairs in my moms house and Ubitec was recommended to me. Absolutely fantastic quality and service. My mom was a bit apprehensive about having people she didn’t know carry out work at her house, but these guys put her at total ease with their professionalism and explained everything thoroughly before carrying out the work. I would totally recommend Ubitec for any electrical work and we will definitely be using them again in the future. The price was really fair for what was carried out and overall extremely happy. Thanks Ubitec

Great company to fit your EV charger at home. They come in and have a look at everything and let you decide which charger to fit. Then give you a quote and options so you can decide what you want to do. We had a problem during first week with charging and within few hours of raising this issue, it was fixed. Great service.

Did what was said on the tin, Swift Emergency Plumber. This is the second time I have used Sean’s services. The first for a faulty and noisy bathroom sink tap where the fault was quickly found and fixed. The second was to disconnect an old gas oven and for a gas safety check on the house. Everything was done professionally, quickly, and to a high quality for a very reasonable price. Sean was also very friendly and trustworthy. He has become my go to plumber - Highly recommend!
