MILNGAVIE

I would like to explain the service Allan provided for us. Allan installed a high efficiency, hole in the wall Gazco fire in our sitting room. He did a clean, tidy, and efficient job. As well as this, he put a liner down the chimney, and arranged and collected our bespoke slate frame that went round fire. I highly recommend Allan as a fireplace installer. He did a fantastic job!
