Own your mistakes and apologise in future. Initially Scott was very helpful, we paid a deposit arranged for someone to come out to assess for a media wall and fire installation and had high expectations after the service Scott had given. In short, the people that came out, no measurements taken (if they had this would've avoided a later problem) and no design service offered which was previously promised. Instead it was a 'you design it, we build it'. Because of this we opted for just a fire. As no measurements taken we went in with a photo and measurements of our chimney and were advised of 2 options, we chose one, advised we were happy to install ourselves and Scott said this should be no problem there will be instructions with the fire. The following week a fire was delivered which seemed to not leave enough space either side to support the chimney. We called the shop and spoke with Scott who said he couldn't offer advice we'd need to ask a builder..this threw us a little as he had been quite happy to take our money and sell us the fire with the measurements and knowledge of the space it was going into but unable to then offer advice. We decided not to risk it and return the fire and were offered a refund, or to swap. We opted for a refund and were encouraged to leave money in credit on the account incase we 'changed our mind', so we did. A few weeks passed and we decided to request the rest of the monies back, attended to the shop where Scott advised he'd made a mistake and it was a different amount due to be refunded. He was very dismissive when questioned and abrupt, I said I'd go away and double check our accounts as I wasn't sure it was right - this was dismissed and I left. Upon checking our account I found I was correct so went back to the shop to ask for help with the refund, I spoke with another team member and he asked Scott if he was able to assist me with the refund to which he blunty responded 'I already have' - what a way to make a customer feel valued. Eventually the error was realised and the remaining amount refunded - but I was spoken to very abruptly and no apology made. That's all it would've taken, which I even said in store, to no avail - people make mistakes. We were advised of the wrong size fire, and the wrong amount refunded. Just own it and apologise - there is no need to be rude and dismissive to customers. So disappointed, We'd spoken very highly of yourselves after our initial visits and reccomended you to others as we know how much reviews and word of mouth mean to small businesses - so we will be sure to spread the word.

Hi Hannah Thank you for your review. I have spoken to the 2 carpenters that visited your property in order to discuss your requirements. They fit an average of 2 media walls per week and we have only ever received praise for their work. Unfortunately although they did take on board your requirements they do not offer a free design service if you have no intention of them undertaking the work. They do always email customers a drawing before starting the installation in order to ensure that they have understood the requirements correctly. You then asked Scott the young salesman about the span of a lintel above the fire. This lintel would have been holding up your brick chimney breast and would require an inspection by a builder in order to check the load bearing and span I’m sorry you were disappointed that Scott couldn’t answer your question but it wouldn’t have been safe for him to try. We did deliver and then collect a fire for you both journeys were free of charge. Scott did call to apologise for his error as the payments were quite confusing due to the 2 different fires ordered and the delay between transactions. He did also apologise for the fact that you felt he was abrupt and explained that he was sent home sick soon after speaking with you. Again we are sorry that you were disappointed with your experience and your comments will be taken on board.

I have had a gas fire and a new hearth made by All About Living and was very satisfied with both products and the quality of the installation work. My only gripe is that the company is sometimes difficult to reach by phone - maybe a bit short-staffed? All in all, a very good independent company which I would recommend highly.

I was very dubious changing over my fire surround as I was concerned of damage and the extent of work. I has my fireplace fitted today by a man named Jason. He did a fantastic job. Friendly and professional throughout and an immaculate worker. 10/10 job done and I'm in love with my new fire place. Thankyou Jason for making my living room feel like home again!:) Mrs Goldsmith

After calling a number of companies( who really didnt want my business) and looking on the Internet for hours, I was very lucky to come across this company. They were so helpful with my order, answered my questions, and my lovely new fire will be with me on Tuesday, next day delivery! I now know why they are busy, because they know their products, they're very helpful, unbeatable prices and professional. Thank you for the pleasure in buying my new fire for my media wall.

Just bought a Broseley gas logs stove. Delivered promptly, far faster than the competition could offer and at day specified. All at a very good price. After sales by Dylan was very helpful, polite and efficient. I cannot praise this firm enough. Thank you for your service.

Fantastic service and quality products provided. There wasn’t any hard sale and recommendations were based on the best product for me rather than recommending the dearest product.

We've just had our Gazco eReflex inset electric fire installed. Jason the fitter surveyed last Friday 29/1 we placed the order on Monday 1/2 and due to a cancellation it was fitted today Wednesday 3/2. This is not a cheap fire, but we are really pleased with the result, it looks stunning. Special mention to Dylan in the shop for looking after us, shame it was all by telephone, but very efficient none the less. Jason has made a great job of the install, talking us through every step to ensure there were no surprises. He was very polite, efficient, tidy and covid friendly. He's a true professional and would have no hesitation in recommending him. Thank you its been a great experience.
