Lovely tearoom, with friendly staff. Food was really good and there was plenty of vegetarian and vegan choices too. The table on the far side is on the uneven part of the floor which gives a strange dizzy feel (similar to the upside down house we recently visited! 😅), so we asked to be moved, which they kindly did.

Just back from a lovely visit here. 2 breakfasts, tea, 2 cake and an Oreo milk shake all for £28. Great service and friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Happy Sunday! Edit! My wife told me I must tell you about the bubble and squeak! She added it to her breakfast and enjoyed every bit! We will be back!

My 90 year old mum wanted to come here as one of her first times out for something to eat since the pandemic started 2 years ago. The LTS is a well decorated clean tea shop. Its upstairs so hidden away. The stairs are steep but mum managed as there was a rail. Good strong cups of tea and an excellent breakfast choice with many variations possible so it worked well for the 4 of us .Prices are good and so exceptional value especially as the breakfast was good.

The staff are always really friendly and helpful and the Practice has a calming environment. My cat is always greeted by name, comforted and settled before being examined.

We’ve only visited three times so far and each time we get a friendly welcome from reception and vet. We didn’t have to wait long to get an appointment and are always seen on time. Very pleased with this practice and would recommend.

As an owner of a very anxious dog, moving vets a couple of years ago was a daunting experience, especially after our negative experience with a well known high street vet. However, the staff at Pet Practice quickly reassured us that moving was the correct decision. They quickly realised the anxious nature of our dog and put steps in place to reassure him so that he was comfortable with visiting the vets, which wasn't the case with the previous vets. The staff bent over backwards to accommodate our dogs needs. After arranging happy visits, and building trust with not only the vets, but the vetinary nurses (especially Carrie) and reception staff our dog has now done a complete 180 in his attitude to visiting the vets. This means that annual checkups, vaccinations and a recent op were carried out with little apprehension on our part. I could sing the staffs praises all day long, and I only wish we moved vets sooner.

I’d highly recommend them. Gair Gas provided a competitive quote and I was impressed by their recommendations. On the day, the new boiler was fitted within a day and there were no complications! The work was carried out exactly to that described and to an excellent standard. A happy customer! 😊

I've used Gair a few times and have only good things to say. Every person attending has been polite and professional and gone above and beyond to give me advice about the heating and gas systems in my house. The first visit this year was a routine boiler inspection and service as I wasn't sure if I needed a new boiler (just bought an old house), the engineer advised me that although old, the boiler was in good working order, but he could have easily recommended I get a new one - as a different company had - and I'd have been none the wiser! Plus, he spent extra time investigating where an old gas pipe from a gas fire went which I wanted removed. The second visit was the installation of new radiators across the whole house and a hive heating system. The guys did a great job and left me with a wonderfully heated home! Definitely recommend for honest open advice and professional service.

Such a great service! I had a gas pipe moved to accommodate an oven. I submitted a form online for a callback which was swift. The quotation was quick and accurate. The price was reasonable at around £115. Two people carried out the work respectfully and expertly. The invoice was shared shortly after and payment was easy.

Excellent very professional service. We were looking for new plumbers after our previous one retired. We went by the reviews and are glad we chose Gair Gas. We had a new boiler fitted and it all went very well. Both Sams who attended did an excellent job and were very friendly polite and professional. The office staff were also very polite and helpful. As I’m vulnerable the Company very helpfully expedited the works. The added bonus is that they also do electrics etc and we are looking forward to joining the Home Shield cover as it will give us peace of mind.

Craig has finished a few jobs for us now, disconnected our gas fire, installed a radiator and moved an existing radiator. We could not recommend him enough. He's really knowledgeable, efficient, polite and respectful.

We had Charlie and his apprentice Adam come and fit a new boiler for us. They had a late start due to the boiler arriving a bit late. People always comment and complain when they’re not happy but these guys deserve a shout out for being great. They were brilliant; hard working, clean, tidy and polite. Didn’t even want a cup of tea, even though I offered them one on numerous occasions! They pushed on and had the job done by the end of the day. I’d have no hesitation in using them again or recommending them to someone else. 5*

Am so pleased that I have found this plumbing and heating company. They are amazing. Grace does a great job organising the jobs. Craig was wonderful at fitting a new kitchen tap and Charlie did a good job installing a new boiler. Great prices and good quality workmanship. Very grateful to know they are there.

Excellent diagnostic work and repair for our central heating failure. Charlie Brenland is strongly recommended for his knowledge and friendly caring attitude on Christmas Eve.

Our initial contact with Joe at the Cinergi office gave us confidence to research the solar panel and battery market and gather information on products. We were impressed by the fact that Cinergi does not push any particular brands and was very receptive to our mix-and-match approach. We gathered quotes from several local companies but it became clear that Cinergi's approachability and quick response to questions meant that they were the right company to carry out our project. When it came to the installation Jack was very communicative, professional and considerate in his way of working. We had a couple of minor glitches owing to one missing part and one overlooked element of the job. However, in each case communication was good and the response was fast. We are delighted with the final product and not only would recommend Cinergi but already have, to neighbours and family.

WOW, what a company! As far as exceptional customer service, Cinergi absolutely wipe the floor with other businesses and trades we have engaged with over the years. They manage to deliver big company service and performance, with the interaction and expertise of a family run unit - what more could you want when you're making changes to your home. We engaged Cinergi to fit an air source heat pump (10kw Valiant), a hot water tank, and radiators throughout, which included towel radiators as well - as there were none in the property when we purchased. There was no mains gas piped to the house, which was a key indicator for us making the move to ASHP, and we were thankfully eligible for the UK Government grant - which Cinergi were able to assist us with. From the very first phone call with Megan, to the site visit (before we had the keys) with Elliot (to work out the size of our heat pump and water tank as well as there placement at the property), then Ian to make sure the radiators were appropriate for the spaces (when we were in), the team were incredible with our pre-installation support. Not forgetting all of the hard work Steph and Kate did in this, being flexible and accommodating for our circumstances (delayed completion of our property). The star of the experience has to be called out though, Lewis (the main engineer on site) worked professionally and courteously with all of the other trades (electricians, roofers, etc.) day in and day out. He provided a clean safe environment every day, being conscious of those around him, helping trades out to be as efficient as they could be too. The level of craftsmanship in his work is an art form (see the photograph of the water tank). He had help on some days, Tommy and Adam, Lewis L and another person (name escapes me right now), but Lewis managed all of that, and helped to keep me sane through the renovation work - a true testament to professional tradesman who truly care for the work they do, and a massive asset to Cinergi...all of the team are. You'll note I can name everyone in the process; big company, family feel! It never felt too much, we never felt overwhelmed. If you need heating, hot water or any other work in their portfolio (Solar, Batteries, EV chargers, etc.), don't look anywhere else - you will not be disappointed with the products or services Cinergi offer. 100% we would recommend.

Dan and Ben, two young men from Cinergi, have been working at our home today. They have been wonderfully professional and efficient. They have installed our two new batteries and the inverter so that we can run our air source heat pump at a much cheaper and greener tariff. I am especially grateful to Dan who set me up with the app and explained all the IT aspects to me. The system is already working and our battery is being charged at the cheap rate. These two young men are a huge credit to your company.

We had a 12 panel free standing solar array fitted in our garden and a Tesla battery and Gateway in the house August 2024. Ian and the team were fantastic throughout, digging a trench for the cable from the panels to the house, installing a gravel base and ensuring that the array was sited firmly. After initial difficulties making sure that the array was secure, they adopted a different approach which worked perfectly - excellent attention to detail. The install took longer than originally anticipated but the final price was exactly as quoted. The array and battery are working perfectly, generating as forecast with even over 50% of our electricity coming from the panels in February. We are looking forward to our first full summer of solar. Thanks to Dan, Ian and all the team for their hard work.

Cannot fault the service from Tidal Heating. We had no heating or hot water & they came out straight away, even though they were fully booked. Lee fixed the problem straight away. Maxine & all of the other staff are a pleasure to speak to. Cannot recommend enough.

Rating: 5 / 5

Tidal Plumbing and Heating were recommended and I understand why. Very knowledgeable and helpful when I phoned with a query. They were able to schedule a visit quickly. Lee was prompt and very professional with his work. Would highly recommend.

Used them recently for a gas safety check. Communication was brilliant and very easy. Plumber came around very promptly and friendly as always!

James has done a few small plumbing jobs for us at our business premises and has just completed our downstairs loo refit at home. He is always brilliant and we would highly recommend him. He is friendly, efficient, reasonably priced and endlessly patient in explaining all the options. He was very flexible on timings and worked around exactly what we needed. We will be booking him to come back and do the bathroom as soon as possible!

Rating: 5 / 5

From the very start James was always on time, responsive to every call and reliable. One of the most professional trades people I have met - ensuring the work area was tidied every single day, to changing his plans to suit when our bathroom design changed. Never made a fuss even if some of the workload increased and took any issues in his stride. James kept us updated throughout the build with progress and anything he found which needed input he made sure he spoke to us to confirm. The standard of James’s work is extremely high and we now have a bathroom to be proud of. I cannot recommend James enough. I would gladly use him again and wish there were more like him out there.

Rating: 5 / 5

There’s a reason why it’s so hard to book James! From start to finish, James is professional, friendly and, above all, he takes so much pride in his work. Upon visiting the company he recommended for the fixtures and fittings, it’s clear that he has earned a lot of respect from other professionals too. Our bathroom looks fantastic and the tiling is perfect. It was fascinating watching the whole process and especially the precision of his tiling work. I couldn’t have asked for a better result!

James completed our bathroom this week and he has done an outstanding job. His levels of professionalism and workmanship are exceptional. He is very polite and was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble and he went above and beyond to ensure we got an excellent finish. I would highly recommend him and we will be definitely be using James’ services again for future projects.

Lee replaced a vented hot water cylinder with an unvented cylinder to improve the hot water pressure throughout our new home. He also connected all the cold water feeds to mains pressure. He is a highly experienced and professional plumber, who knows the business inside and out. He turned up at a moment's notice on a Saturday to sort out a leaking drain valve unconnected with the work he had carried out for us. We are so grateful that we found him.

Lee has done an excellent job in installing a Mira Thermostatic Bath Shower mixer. He researched the product carefully according to my needs. He disconnected an old unsuccessful unit, re-tiled as necessary, removed all rubbish and cleaned up well. He priced the job fairly and I can happily recommend him.

Happy to recommend Lee. He has done a few things for us now ranging from fixing a leak in water pipes in our garage to fitting a new bathroom and we have been very happy with the results.

Lee did a fantastic job removing the bath and all the tiles, which had been there for years and fitted a lovely walk-in shower with new panelling, grab rails, a fitted seat and a non slip tray in my fathers home. He was kept us updated with everything he was doing. Initially he was quick to respond to my call and visit to do a quote. Lee is very professional and takes pride in the job. I would highly recommend him and would not hesitate to use him again for any other job.
