Customer comment
"As the owners of a Victorian 2 storey terraced inner London house we have been carrying out extensive repair and upgrading work Complete Plumbing Clean Energy Ltd played a major part.Their standard of work was very good and included the installation of the solar and photovoltaic panels with related pipe-work and equipment as well as the more general plumbing work. The project was completed very satisfactorily and within budget and with the submission of a reference manual listing the work done. On completion the company provided a briefing explain the system and the control methodology. We were very please with the quality work and the helpfulness of all involved."
