Domestic installation, Hertfordshire
“…we have now had Pitkin & Ruddock on site on behalf of our main MEP contractor and I can say I am very pleased with what I have seen so far. The engineers attending were very knowledgeable, but also extremely helpful and took the time to run me through the issues, possible solutions and answered all my question. Please do pass on my feedback to the team, and looking forward to working with P&R, be that directly or via our contractors.”

Domestic AC installation. Lowestoft
“I don’t normally give testimonials, but in this instance I feel compelled to do so….I hate having people in my home who I don’t know, but from my initial contact with Mathew Smith, the Branch Manager, everything went smoothly. Mathew explained the differences and cost carefully between each heat pump unit, and the best ways of having each installed. All Engineers and Electricians who came to my home were respectful and left everything clean and tidy… I am delighted to recommend Pitkin & Ruddock to anyone and have already done so privately. Loving my air con!”

Company Buyer, Suffolk
“We are not the easiest site to undertake work for due to the very sensitive nature of our service.
