Pudding Mill Lane and negative responses.

Having been personally affected by compulsory purchase previously - in the 1970's; I have say that life moves on, as do jobs.

A very strong recommendation for a Gas Safe engineer in Essex is N R Heating who fixed several gas leaks in my home today. The work was very professional, totally committed to safety and quality; plus the price was very competitive. New boiler installation was also another brilliant service. A very high class recommendation for a Gas Safe Engineer in Hornchurch.
