Having contacted the company to service my boiler I was given a date and time. The engineer turned up promptly as promised and undertook the work in an extremely professional manner. Having been a heating engineer myself for over 50 years I found the engineer to be friendly, tidy and extremely efficient. I am very cautious when recommending people but would certainly recommend this company. An excellent tradesman.Verified reviewerJob location: SO519.67 Trustworthy and great work

Established in 1986.
We are a local, reliable, approachable, hardworking and dedicated family-run business. Sharing 70+ years' experience in the gas, plumbing, heating and very recently the air conditioning industries.
Gas safe registered and soon to be REFCOM registered.
Excited to offering domestic air conditioning for your home, home office or man cave from January, in time for another hot summer.
We 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.
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.
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.
