“Excellent service”

Thank you for all your help and advice and for the excellent service you provided. From making the right choices to installation everything has gone so smoothly and we are delighted with the new fireplaces. Even without a fire burning they are exactly the feature we hoped for. We can now look forward to winter.”

Mr & Mrs N. Woodford

“Polite & friendly”

After having our fireplace fitted by you I can have nothing but praise for your excellent service, polite and friendly installers and a wonderful end result!

We’ve had the fire on very often and if we leave our living room doors open it warms up the whole house.. Caroline and I both think it is one of the best things we’ve ever spent our money on. We love it! Thank you once again.”

John & Caroline

“Kind & considerate”

My wife and I would like to thank you for your kind and considerate service. Please convey our thanks to your installers for a job well done.

It was a great pleasure to hear how complimentary my wife was about the manner and demeanour of your colleges, notwithstanding their obvious professional abilities to install our purchases from you.

Mr & Mrs B. Finchley

“Responsive & helpful”

We researched a number of companies before deciding to go with Something Different, which was the lowest in price. I liked that you were responsive and helpful and didn’t try to bamboozle us.

The installers were quick, personable, turned up on time and did a really good job leaving it clean afterwards. I would recommend Something Different to others.

Mr W. Leyton

“Clean and tidy”

As this is my first stove I needed a lot of advice and information. Your company provided the time and expertise that I required. Your competitors were not up to the same standard. The fitters who dealt with the installation were courteous, professional, clean and tidy.

I would have no hesitation in recommending your company and in providing the highest reference for overall service.
