    Replace our boiler, for new rads and shower

    Posted 19 April

    I found out about these guys on Facebook since they're in our area. I only dealt with Ali and found he was very attentive, communicatee very well and carried out the work promptly. The boiler in our house was ancient and we needed some radiators replaced at the same time. The work took no longer than he said and was left tidy. There was one small issue after the first day but Ali voice called me about 10pm which shows he goes the extra mile. So far all good and thanks a lot for sorting us out. cheers Jake

    Alastair came to service the boiler along with fitting a tap and installing a integral fridge/freezer. Alastair is extremely reliable and efficient and always resolves any difficulties that may arise, he also is very pleasant character to have in the house. His fees are very good value for the excellent work he does

    Very efficient and neat central heating repair.

    Posted 16 April

    We had a central heating fault which made the programmable timer unreliable but didn't leave us without heating. Alastair came promptly, diagnosed the problem, returned in a couple of days with the parts needed and fixed the problem. All fine ever since.

Domestic WorkFree EstimatesInsurance Work Undertaken

Established in 1986.


We are a local, reliable, approachable, hardworking and a dedicated family-run business.


With 20 years experience and 70+ years of knowledge in the gas, plumbing, heating and very recently the air conditioning industries.


Gas safe and REFCOM registered.


Excited to offering domestic air conditioning installations for your home, home office or man cave from January, in time for another hot summer.


I undertake all aspects of plumbing, from bathrooms/en-suites/ 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 pump replacements.


LPG/ Natural gas; from gas range/ cooker installation to boiler and gas fire maintenance and servicing, specializing in Vaillant & Glowworm boilers.


Domestic air conditioning installations only.


I am happy to take on insurance work covering leaks and repairs.


I offer a same-day/next-day service for genuine emergencies, where possible.


I also provide free quotations, and no job is too small.


Unfortunately, I don't currently hold the correct accreditations to install, service, and maintain oil boilers or solar hot water/ heating systems.


Nor do I work on underfloor heating or install or maintain wall-hung Wc pans, and we can only do domestic work, so no commercial premises.
