Recommend very highly!Posted on Google Serena ReidTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Came home from on holiday on 03/01/26 to the boiler not working - not heating or hot water - on one the coldest days of the winter. Was calling round desperately to find emergency plumber at 8pm on a Saturday. Despite calling multiple plumbers, none could come until the Monday...Then there was Alex! He came round on that Saturday night, found the problem and made a plan to replace the broken part. He was AMAZING! He was upfront about costs, timings, issues and part sourcing. Within 72 hours (part sourcing and error code issues that, were unrelated to Alex, were an issue) We had our boiler back working. Very grateful to Alex, who was so in demand and worked like trooper, would 100% recommend himPosted on Google Jasmine KershawTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Alex sorted out all the problem in my boiler, great service and friendly, highly recommended for boiler and heating problems👍
