10 Severely Blocked Bathroom Sink
Posted 03 February
Offerred same day appointment by Wilgar's but we couldn't make it, given first slot next day. Plumber was polite and friendly and wore protective shoes. Identified a long term build up of scale, so replaced old trap and cleared pipe through wall. Flow was still not as expected so he got up a ladder and dislodged scale from the down pipe to hopper. I was surprised at what came out. Very thorough job water now drains immediately.Verified reviewerJob location: BR5Response from A.C. Wilgar Plumbing, Heating & Cooling
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We're really pleased we could help get your bathroom sink draining properly again. It’s great to hear our plumber made a good impression and took the time to thoroughly investigate the issue and resolve the scale build-up. We always aim to carry out a complete job rather than just a quick fix, so it's wonderful to know you noticed the effort. We appreciate your kind feedback and are glad everything is now flowing as it should! -Eve Dowden Service Administrator

10 New boiler installation
Posted 15 November 2025
We contacted AC Wilgar for a quote for a new boiler. Their response was speedy and the quote very competitive. They sounded very friendly on the phone and we had no hesitation in giving them the job. The two engineers on the day were very friendly and professional. There was a mini setback when it was discovered that the first new boiler delivered had a dent in the front. They managed to get a replacement within the hour! We highly recommend them.Verified reviewerJob location: BR1Response from A.C. Wilgar Plumbing, Heating & Cooling
Thank you for the wonderful review and recommendation. We're really pleased to hear that you found our quote competitive and our team friendly and professional throughout the process. While the damaged boiler on delivery was an unexpected setback, we're glad we were able to quickly arrange a replacement and keep everything moving for you. Our engineers will appreciate your kind comments. Thank you again for choosing A C Wilgar — we’re delighted you were happy with the service. -Eve Dowden Service Administrator

10 Top quality service in all areas of operation
Posted 11 July 2025
We had a problem with the valve that controls hot water and heating. The work was carried out under our Diamond Service agreement. The engineer encountered some problems beyond the original issue. It turned into a longer job than anticipated over the course of a few days while suitable replacement parts were located. As ever with Wilgar, the work was completed to a high standard and with great professionalism. I cannot speak highly enough of this business. We have been clients for many years and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who is any doubt about chosing a contractor.Verified reviewerJob location: BR3Response from A.C.

Delivering high standards of workmanship and professionalism is always our priority, especially for our Diamond Service customers. Your recommendation means a great deal to us, and we’re always here whenever you need us. -Eve Dowden Service Administrator
