“Maria explained the energy usage, switched energy providers and now have Direct Debit setup. The advice has taken a lot of stress [away] and happy to recommend. Having a new cooker and fridge freezer has made a lot of difference.” (Sedgemoor resident)

“How extremely helpful Maria was in pointing out things that needed doing, being organised by getting in touch with the fire service for smoke alarm and CM alarms. It was great receiving the air fryer and have found it marvellous, and I will cook everything in it. She went through everything like curtains and doors, draught excluders and light bulbs were very useful. Many Thanks.” (North Newton resident)
