"Paul provided an excellent service from the advice provided on his first visit, followed by a very detailed quotation right through the installation and commissioning. We will have no hesitation in recommending him to others that want to enjoy the warmth of a log burning stove". (Dave Thorne, Aarow Ecoburn7)
"Paul came highly recommended and it was soon apparent how enthusiastic and knowledgeable he was regarding the Multifuel Stove I was intending to have installed in my Living Room. Paul was meticulous in measuring how the Flue would be installed through two levels and also gave excellent advice on the best materials and system to use. Over the ten days he and his team took to install the system they were very very efficient and I was able to trust them with the keys whilst I went to work and on returning home everything was left clean and tidy. The Electrician and Plasterers were of the highest standard and the finished work was excellent and good value for money and his work has been praised by those who have visited the house now the work is complete. I would highly recommend Paul to undertake any work but especially the installation of a Stove". (Jon Caldwell, Charnwood Country 8 )
"My wife and I were pleased and relieved we chose Paul and his team to install our woodburner. Paul is thoroughly professional and very conscientious. Our woodburner / multi-fuel stove has a backboiler and we wanted it plumbed into our existing central heating system and the chimney lined. He did a fantastic job. Very many thanks to Paul and his team". (Robert & Averil Kirkman, Saltfire boiler stove)
"I have to say Paul was fantastic from the beginning right to the end, my stove has been fitted and it looks absolutely wonderful. Paul goes out of his way for his customers to make sure things are done properly. The service we received was brilliant, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Any questions I had, he was there to answer all of them. My stove looks amazinggg". (Tonia Esposito, ACR Earlswood)
"Paul installed a small 'Dru' woodburner stove back in March 2013. He did a thorough job, even taking into account last minute changes to the spec forced on him when an old hearth revealed itself behind a hideous sixties fireplace. We would recommend Paul for his professional approach, attention to detail and understanding of sympathetic renovation". (Kevin Oakley, Dru 44)
"Hi Paul, Just to let you know that we have been using the wood burner that you fitted nearly every night and we are thoroughly chuffed with it. We now have a kettle sitting on top to provide free tea as well. The stove is heating the whole of the downstairs area as well as the landing & bathroom, I am sure that we will see a big reduction in the oil consumption. Thanks for all of the work that you carried out, above and beyond service and a quality installation, I would thoroughly recommend anybody else to have a wood burner fitted and likewise I would recommend Paul as the installer. All the best, Dean". (Dean Doerr, Firefox 8)
"Paul installed this multi fuel Aga stove for us last November. The fireplace had originally had a back boiler and a gas fire so when removed this left holes and uneven brickwork. Paul made all this right and has left a quality install including re finishing the out-cove to right which had numerous pipe holes
The log burner burnt well all winter with excellent draw. Paul and his colleagues are great craftsman and a pleasure to deal with, Paul offers excellent value, would highly recommend". (Thomas Oakey, Aga Little Wenlock)
"Paul installed a boiler stove for me in April 2013 in place of an open fire with back boiler. We were completely pleased by the work carried out by Paul and his plumbing team. He is extremely knowledgeable and also enthusiastic about all aspects of stoves, their installation and regulations regarding installation and is very thorough in adhering to them. It was a pleasure to have him working in the house; he is very respectful but also very amusing!! I was also very grateful for the fact that all old materials were removed without any requesting; this can sometimes be a big problem for a householder. Any problems encountered were discussed and options explained – a good rapport was established (very important). Supervision of the plumbing part of the job was very conscientious. I have been very impressed by the performance of the stove post installation (a Stratford 9HE boiler stove). In short I would have no hesitation in recommending". (Mr Freeman, Stratford 9HE)
"From the moment I contacted Paul about installing our wood burning stove, I was confident that he knew what he was doing. Paul and his colleague worked well and did a very neat and tidy job. They turned up when they said they would even though it was the last few days before Christmas and got finished in the timescale he had promised. The wood burner works well and we are really pleased with it". (Bernie, Westfire Uniq 27)
'Paul does a "proper" job, no cutting corners or inflating his quote. He works late if needed and does little extra jobs without being asked - like covering the open chimney to my bedroom fireplace (see photos). Paul is professional and polite. He gives sound advice and demonstrates lighting up and maintenance required for your stove. He is very efficient and deposits the commissioning report immediately the work is complete; no chasing or hassle. No hesitation recommending Paul - a really happy client". (Jan Esson, Hamlet Solution 5 stove.)
"I engaged Paul Cottrell to advise me on renovations required to two stoves (one a wood burner and the other a multi-fuel stove) which had been installed many years ago and which no longer met modern requirements relating to the provision of smoke doors and flue configurations. The job was not straightforward as the stoves were prominent features in the house and the aesthetics of any modifications were very important. Not only did Paul devise imaginative and effective solutions to the problem but the work was carried out without disruption and to a high standard of workmanship.
I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone requiring similar work". (Dr Eilbeck, Jotul 3)
"Paul installed our solid fuel boiler in October 2012. He was knowledgeable on all aspects of the job, extremely committed, and inspired complete confidence in us. Most importantly, he never let us
down; he never failed to get in touch when he said he would ... a rare quality in tradesmen in our experience! He is a totally dedicated, thorough & professional worker with the friendliest of manners to boot... an all round nice guy who definitely knows his stuff. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him". (Robin Brown, Trianco boiler)
"Paul installed a quirky enamel stove for us as part of a major house renovation. The stove was an awkward fit for our fireplace but Paul was not fazed. He quickly solved all logistical problems and carried out the installation efficiently, to a high standard, and for a very reasonable price. We are really pleased with the results and can thoroughly recommend Paul's work".
(Miss Fisher, French enamel stove)
