Having been recommended in the first place Mr Bidwell for some years has carried out the annual service and gas safety check on a property we let. Additionally I have asked him to carry out other plumbing tasks. He has undertaken all his work promptly and efficiently and communicated helpfully and accurately. My tenants have warmed to him too.Verified reviewerJob location: SO5310 They installed our boiler a number of years ago and service it annually.

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.
