10 Gas Boiler Servicing / Repair
Posted 1 week ago
Excellent plumber with a nice manner
We asked Alastair to do our yearly boiler inspection as well as checking the heating and fireplace. We also had a problem with a leaking outflow pipe that needed fixing. He finished all these jobs to our full satisfaction. We would highly recommend Alastair.Verified reviewerJob location: SO3210 Gas Central Heating Installation

Leaking Toilet
Ali came out to take a look at our toilet at the back of the shop last minute as we had a leak - he took a look and couldn't find anything however did mention that the screws were rusted at the bottom (which we knew about already) we asked him to provide a quote to get them replaced, he provided this to us that evening and rearranged his plans on a Saturday to come in to replace the screws so we could get this done ASAP. Such a lovely guy and went out of his way to fit us on around his already busy diary, couldn't recommend him enough!!Job location: SO509.67 Central Heating

Established in 1986.
We are a local, reliable, approachable, hardworking and a dedicated family-run business.
With 20 years' experience and 70+ years of knowledge in the gas, plumbing and heating industries.
I have recently expanded into domestic air conditioning and so am pleased to offer home, home office or man cave cooling solutions to overcome our ever-changing climate.
I undertake all aspects of plumbing, from bathrooms/ensuites/ cloakrooms, and installations of kitchen appliances, to tap installations, and dripping taps.
Central heating; from entire central heating system replacements/ boiler breakdowns to heating controls and pump replacements.
LPG/ Natural gas; from gas range/ cooker installation to boiler and gas fire maintenance and servicing, specializing in Vaillant & Glowworm boilers.
Domestic air conditioning; installations only.
I am happy to take on insurance work covering plumbing/ heating/ gas leaks and repairs.
I offer a same-day/next-day service for genuine plumbing, heating & gas emergencies only, where possible.
I also provide free quotations, and no job is too small.
Unfortunately, I don't currently hold the correct accreditations to install, service, and maintain oil boilers or solar hot water/ heating systems.
Nor do I work on underfloor heating or install or maintain wall-hung Wc pans, and I can only do domestic work, so no commercial premises.
