Local Heroes

Has anybody got any experience of these people - anyone tried them, or know someone who has?
They will do all sorts of jobs apparently.

British Gas are backing them.
I thought it might be handy to keep the website, but would like to know a bit more about them first.

Re: Local Heroes

Used them once for an electrical job that I was not qualified to do, posted the job, BG got back to me with a quote, electrician came along at the time and date specified, paid on line through the link provided.
Excellent service, no hassle and a job well done.

That is certainly well worth knowing, Rehab.
Thankyou very much.

Yes, seems a good idea.

I wonder how B.G. got involved in this in the first place?

Aren't these ' heroes' people who were in the armed forces?

Just looked it up, and it seems I was right, they are ex-service men and women.

Have a look at this.

Re: Local Heroes

I wasn’t aware of that, thanks Mups, most of my skills are not transferable into civilian life, but I can do a bit of gardening

It is, isn't it Tabs.

I have never actually tried them, but as you can see, our Rehab has and was pleased, so it is worth bearing in mind if we need a bit of help isn't it.
