Gas Central Heating Servicing / Repair
Posted 03 June
Fantastic, old fashioned service, what a pleasure!
This is an exceptional plumbing company, one that really goes the extra mile. We were so thrilled that they were able to mend our old radiator rather than just replacing it with a new one. The plumber was meticulous and did a really thorough job. We really appreciated the attention to detail and the skill involved.

Old school !
"This was our first time using this company and we were pleasantly surprised, not the norm, what’s going on. In a nutshell we have no problem in recommending this company , we would use again. David and Buellie were a well organised work machine, hand in glove almost. It would take too long to list their positives but much quicker to list the negatives as there were not any. Keep up the good work lads !"

Replacement of an old boiler and removing all the old tanks
Had our old boiler replaced and couldn’t be happier with the service. The team were friendly, efficient, and took the time to explain everything clearly. The quality of workmanship was outstanding, and the whole process was carried out with care and professionalism. I would highly recommend them – they should be your first choice.

Gas boiler Service
Dave and his son are nice, friendly people who are very knowledgeable of the product and got on with the job with no fuss and no mess. Carried out the necessary Gas inspections that were required. Put the job on at 7PM Sunday night and within 1 hour I had a response and less the 24 hours later the job has been completed. Would highly recommend
