10 Emergency boiler installation
Posted 2 days ago
We got recommended these through a friend who had a good experience. they did not disappoint. Our boiler broke down so needed a new one. We called them and Neil came out the same day to talk through options, he was knowledgeable and did not push us. The next day we were given a quote and accepted which was a good price. They knew our problem and worked with us to have the new boiler installed even though they were fully booked. they kept us informed every step of the way. The 2 fitters Phil and Dave were very friendly and professional and cleaned up after themselves at every opportunity.Verified reviewerJob location: DH3 10 Very thorough work

Originally we were introduced to Ho' ton heating as they carried out some insurance work on our Potterton Gold boiler. Very friendly engineer and thorough inspection. Despite some new seals replacing perished ones ,the boiler was still leaking CO and at risk . A third visit and trip to get another spare seal for the flue finally sorted it ,and they stuck with the job to finish it off as we needed heating on for my husband with a respiratory condition. Thank you .Verified reviewerJob location: DL14- NNick B
