I couldn’t recommend Gavin highly enough. I am a very particular and fussy customer and he really stepped up to the plate making sure everything was absolutely perfect.   There was an issue with the heater which was totally out of his control and he was brilliant in sorting it out, not expecting payment until everything was perfect.  Very competitive rates and that personal touch. Thanks Gavin , a very happy customer indeed

We are really pleased we chose Saunaplus to install our home sauna. Not only was their quote reasonable and within budget, we are really pleased with the quality of the sauna. We wanted a specific look for our heater which was a bit out of the ordinary and they delivered without delay.

The wood for the seats and back support also has a really pleasant feel to it and doesn’t get hot. In addition, the workers who installed the sauna were professional and friendly, always on hand to answer any questions and explain what they were doing.

Simply put, using Saunaplus has been one of the best home improvement decisions we’ve ever made. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for similar work.

I recently had a sauna built by Sauna Plus for my home gym in Birtle, and I’m thrilled with the results! The team was professional and attentive, guiding me through the selection process within my budget. The installation was quick, and the craftsmanship is top-notch.

I love using the sauna after workouts and long days; it heats up quickly and creates a relaxing ambiance. I’ve already noticed improvements in my overall well-being.

If you’re considering a sauna, I highly recommend Sauna Plus. They truly exceeded my expectations! Thank you for transforming my gym into a wellness haven!
