10 Boiler Replacement.
Posted 08 May
J Gilbert Plumbing & Heating provided an excellent service for our recent boiler replacement. Justin worked incredibly hard to accommodate my difficult working schedule, which I really appreciated. He was always friendly and professional throughout the process. The work itself was carried out tidily and efficiently, and I was very impressed with the standard of the installation. I would highly recommend J Gilbert Plumbing & Heating to anyone in the Uckfield area looking for a reliable and accommodating plumber that goes the extra mile.Verified reviewerJob location: TN2210 Pie under the barth leaking

Posted 17 April
Our boiler slowly stopped working, I let Justin know the symptoms and he said it was probably the filter had gone. We've used him already 4/5 times, he was exactly right, he did extra checks to be sure and the boiler was fixed, we were very relieved. Justin's reliable, friendly and does a good job, thats why we're happy to recommend him.Verified reviewerJob location: BN710 Reseal old shower including floors.
