10 Boiler diagnosis and replacement
Posted 06 December 2025
After only about an hour of being on Checkatrade I got a call saying they could come over in an hour to take a look at the boiler. Kirk and his son came, were very friendly and knowledgeable, initially looked to repair the leak and gave me that option but recommended a full replacement based on the age of the boiler. Managed to order and fit the boiler first thing the next morning so we were only without heating and hot water for less than 24 hours and left the area tidy. They are also going to complete the warranty paperwork for us on the new boiler. Very happy with the experience!Verified reviewerJob location: CM8 - SSteven C

Our boiler packed up when we got home from work in the recent cold snap. Kirk came to our rescue 10 minutes after calling him this evening. Sorted out the problem and got our heating and water working again. Would definitely recommend and will be using KDR from now on.Verified reviewerJob location: CO310 Professional and Efficient 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

9.67 Boiler installation
Posted 09 September 2025
Kirk and his son Harrison were fantastic. Warm, friendly and professional. Kirk’s communication skills are great, and they’re punctual. They tried to save our old boiler but it was beyond repair. The installation went well and I will be booking them in again for further works around the home. It was refreshing to have professional plumbers in the home at long last after a few rogues! Thank you both so much.Verified reviewerJob location: CM7
