    Professional and reliable service

    Posted 29 January

    I've been relying on Kirk for all my heating and plumbing requierments for many years. The most recent situation involved an emergency with a catastrofic shower valve failure. Kirk came out immediately to secure the water leak and returned a few days later to fix the problem. All this was done very professionally with clear communication regarding costs and time frames. This is a company that I will recommend without reservation.

    Emergency Boiler Replacement

    Posted 24 January

    Boiler in new house had undisclosed slow leak and lost pressure in 2 weeks. First plumber via my insurance took 1 look at it, changed 1 obviously leaky part and said job done. Boiler still leaked. KDR came round (free inspection), Kirk did a proper inspection, identified multiple areas where there were leaks, and recommended a new boiler. Whilst deciding what to do, the boiler packed in completely. KDR were able to organise to return within 2 days to fit a new boiler (on a Saturday). Worked efficiently to have it all done in a few hours, and at a good price. Less than 48hrs without heating.

    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!

    Very quick to respond to request and able to attend following morning. Arrived promptly and was able to quote a price before starting any work. Was quick to diagnose & fix the issue. Nice and friendly manner. Would definitely recommend.

    Lifesaver in the cold weather

    Posted 20 November 2025

    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.
