    Camilla Smith
    Great customer service From the initial telephone conversation with Rachel, I felt in safe hands with 0800 Homefix. Rachel arranged for an engineer to inspect the problems I was having with my faulty boiler, Rachel arranged for an engineer to come out that day which was brilliant. The customer service was brilliant from the start to finish, I highly recommend 0800 Homefix. Thank you again.
    Customer in Wokingham
    Following on from a new central heating system installed by 0800 Homefix there was a lot of dust throughout the property, it was a huge job in fairness we never had central heating before as it was warm air units so the engineers were working in every room running pipes and hanging radiators. 0800 Homefix kindly facilitated a professional deep clean following on from the works at no extra cost. Very thoughtful and professional. The house is now spotless. Would highly recommend.
    Customer in Farnham
    Leak fixed I called out we fix to investigate a leak that was present in my kitchen. I was reluctant to do so due to the ongoing matters with COVID-19. However, the engineer that turned up to fix the leak was equipped with a face mask, gloves and shoe covers. He also made sure to keep 2 metres distance away from me and my wife at all times. He fixed the leak and kept everything tidy and clean throughout. Would not think twice about recommending!
