Andrew at AK Engineering is great to work with. Always willing to help and very reactive to any problems that crop up. Getting our plant up and running again without fuss. His advice is always well received as an expert in his field. His pricing is very competitive and value for money, especially when working on a tight budget

Andrew has been servicing and repairing the boilers here at NTU for over 20 years. Whenever we have an issue, he is always on the end of the phone with advice and will make a site visit usually the same day. When he is on site, he is polite, tidy and efficient. Andrew's experience gives me confidence that the equipment that staff and students are using is safe and should we need a repair he will undertake it quickly and to a high standard.

Andrew has completed the strip down/rebuild/ component testing of our main Fulton steam boiler, required for the annual Insurance inspection over the last 7 years during my time at Doff Portland as well as many years previous .
The Boiler is critical to our business and Andrew explains in detail any potential issues that he considers may arise and this allows myself to order any potential parts in advance, ready for the inspection date.
If any issues have arisen with the boiler, not related to the inspection, I have contacted Andrew who obliges by offering advice over the phone and if in the local area, he has called in to confirm the boiler is running satisfactory.
