Alastair could not attend at the proposed time but texted updates until he arrived. Alastair has a pleasant and friendly manner and is easy to communicate with. The boiler service was completed thoroughly and questions answered succinctly. A small potential problem was found but not upsold and can be sorted at a later time. The price for the boiler service was reasonable and the going rate for this kind of job. I am very happy with the service and very happy to recommend Malcom Bidwell plumbing and heating.Verified reviewerJob location: SO5010 service LPG Boiler

Summer Promotion- a third off all labour charges for all new jobs booked in, in July, August and September.
Established in 1986.
We are a local, reliable, approachable hardworking and dedicated family run business. Sharing 70+ years' experience in the gas, plumbing & heating industry.
Gas safe registered.
We undertake all aspects of plumbing; from bathrooms/ ensuites/ cloakrooms, and installations of kitchen appliances to tap installations and dripping taps.
Central heating; from entire central heating system replacements/ boiler breakdowns to heating controls and pumps replacements.
LPG/ Natural gas; from gas range/ cooker installation to boiler and gas fire maintenance and servicing, specializing in Vaillant & Glowworm boilers.
We are happy to take on insurance work covering leaks and repairs. We offer a same day/ next day service for genuine emergencies, where possible.
We also provide FREE QUOTATIONS, and no job is too small.
We work across the South but can only offer scheduled visits to the IOW I'm afraid, no emergencies.
Working on the IOW would be for a minimum of a full day's work and so unless we have other work on the island, it would work out dear, to cover a day's labour, travelling and ferry crossing costs.
Unfortunately, we don't currently hold the correct accreditations to install, service and maintain oil boilers or solar hot water/ heating systems.
Nor do we work on underfloor heating or install or maintain wall hung Wc pans and we can only do domestic work, so no commercial premises I'm afraid.
