Cannot praise the Shipley Team enough. Currently tackling the heating system at my cousin's flat in Whitburn. These guys think outside the box. Clever and immensely talented team. Thank you.

Shipleys installed our heating system a few years ago and we have a service contract with them. We've just used the out of hours on call engineer and they were spot on. Good engineers, fair pricing and excellent customer service. Just like it should be.
