10 Radiator removal urgently (future replacement)
Posted 20 April
Essential Plumbing were fantastic when I needed three radiators removed urgently after my plasterers suddenly became available to start the next day. They responded really quickly, were professional and friendly throughout, and Elliot was especially personable and efficient. He removed everything quickly, left the place clean and tidy, and the price was very reasonable. They made what could have been a stressful situation feel smooth and easy, and I’ll definitely be using them again to replace the radiators in future.Verified reviewerJob location: BN41 10 outdoor shower mixer replacement

Job location: RH16Jake at Essential Plumbing and Heating assisted us with the uninstallation of a washing machine at a probate property. Jake was responsive and able to accommodate our last minute request, and even attended the property and completed the job earlier than expected. We will certainly use Essential Plumbing and Heating again in the future. Thank you! - JJay W
