Emergency advice in Edinburgh

“On a Saturday my old Vokera boiler stopped working and by that Thursday I had a new and stronger Glow Worm boiler installed, with minimal fuss, by Adam. I phoned Adam on the weekend and he came out first thing on Monday to have a look. The gas valve was broken, so Adam sent me over invoices for the broken part and for new boiler without pressure to choose. In the end, given the boiler’s age I opted to have it replaced. He and his colleague came out on Thursday and within a few hours my boiler was installed, and they were so clean with the instal! So so rare with tradespeople. Would 10/10 recommend and will be having him service my boiler annually.”

“Bought two pairs of the women’s Pioneer pants in olive green and blue. Instantly love the fit and the length because I can’t find a pair of trousers that fit well until I stumbled on Rohan.

“My credit isn’t the best and I wasn’t sure what to expect with everyday loans in Edinburgh however I have to say the experience was almost enjoyable. The first contact I had was via the phone with Cindy who was very professional- she went through all my initial info but didn’t make it feel intrusive... very matter of fact which I liked. I was then invited to make an appointment which I did for the same day. The offices are up the stairs near Costa coffee which was the only thing that slightly put me off but I actually am mad at myself for even thinking that because the service I was given was second to none. Cindy met me by shaking my hand and then Donna cane through who is the manager there( I think I’m correct)and again introduced herself and shook my hand. It’s all very above board - credit checks are done and ID is taken and photocopied but although I couldn’t get a loan with my bank I got a loan here. There was no time at all that I felt pushed into a loan- even at the end when I was signing paperwork Cindy said to me I could think about it rather than rushing into it although we had already discussed the alternatives and whether a loan was the best option etc etc. . And even before I signed on the dotted line and certain literature was given to me to read I still did not feel forced into it/ in fact you would normally pay for the financial advice I was given. I received the monies into my account within a couple of hours and my credit card debts were paid overnight. I read reviews as people are normally honest and I also have been totally honest - it’s a professional but friendly business and if you are needing a loan I would definately recommend them even if you go and have a chat with them first to see if you are eligible. Thanks Cindy and Donna.”

“My air conditioning wasn't performing nearly as well as it had been when I bought the car several years ago so arranged for Andy to perform a service and re-gas. Andy arrived when he said he would and performed the service extracting the old gas in to recycling chambers and then doing a pressure test before refilling. He applied protective pads to the car to prevent any potential accidental damage from his equipment - this pleased me enormously. I'm delighted with the work done and would highly recommend.”
