    Professional Company

    What can I say this company was a pleasure to deal with. From great communication to a high spec install from Dan. It is nice to know that there are still companies that have high standards. Please keep up the good work, dont change.

    There is nobody else I’d use or recommend over Vickery

    From the first ten seconds on the phone to Lindsey, I knew I was going going to use Vickery Zero sales pressure. Informative. Listened to what I said and answered usefully. Patient with my email back and forth (hard for me to use the phone because of work) Vickery came in a smidge over the “well known” installer, but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them, as said other company was very pushy and will try and sell you a care plan that costs £360 in the first three years and is worth nothing! Dan was a brilliant installer; neat, friendly and professional Couldn’t ask for more!

    Excellent installers

    This is the second Water Softener installed by Vickery Water Softeners for us. Both into new build properties 6 years apart. Never had any issue with 1st softener but we couldn't be without one in our new home due to scale. Both installations are excellent, tidied up the new build pipework where appropriate. First one had to be installed and sealed onto the floor due to lack of space. Very tidy job and left clean. Same clean tidy job this time and we upgraded our naff new build tap to a Clearwater with drinking water filter. All excellent value packages, Inc cost of salt we buy from them.

    You can rely on Vickery Water Softeners Ltd.

    I required a replacement water softener. Matt, who came out initially to survey the problems I was having and then Dan, who carried out the replacement, were brilliant! They explained everything in a way I could understand. They were efficient, quiet, and the job was very quickly completed.

The Vickery family business

We are a small, independent, local family business that believes in the benefits of quality soft water. We want to help improve your family’s health and lifestyle too.

Based in Hampshire, UK

We are based in Fareham and cover the whole of South Hampshire, from the New Forest to Southampton to Portsmouth.


All homes across the south of England suffer from hard water. Over years, chalk and limescale build up in water pipes and appliances, so much so they can stop working. More than this, drinking hard water is shown to be bad for the body. We wanted the best for our children and so invested in a water softener. Now we provide water softener installation services to families and businesses across Hampshire so they too can enjoy the benefits.

Our skilled professional engineers provide you with quality, trustworthy advice based on our many years of water softener installations and water softener servicing across Hampshire.

Benefits of a Water Softener:

  • Save Time - because soft water leaves fewer residues than hard water, you’ll need less time for cleaning
  • Save Money - which means using fewer soap and cleaning products. Better for your budget, better for our planet.
  • Improve Life - of your appliances. Not just washing machines can live longer – kettles, showers, hot water systems…
  • Improve Health - softened water reduces impact of skin issues such as eczema and psoriasis.

Vickery Water Softeners provides quality soft water that gets rid of limescale, so that your family’s health improves and your appliances last longer.

Our family business’s aim is always to provide impartial, trustworthy expertise and a personal, professional service that treats all customers the way that we wish to be treated.
