I used Viktor - VMV Boiler service for the very first time and very impressed with the service. My boiler had not been serviced for over last 9 years, so was loosing pressure. I thought that if it does not work after service then I would had to change it. Viktor came and serviced it, found the fault during the service and fixed the fault as part of his service deal. Now boiler is working good and my home is cozy. He saved me replacing the boiler and maybe the rest of radiator and piping system. Excellent service. Looking forward to see him again at the begenning of next winter now.
