    Water softener install

    Posted 4 days ago

    Vickery were fantastic from start to finish. Matt came quickly to quote and explained everything really well. Dan did the install and kept me informed all the way through. I am really pleased with my water softener and it has made a huge difference to washing, cleaning and skin care. Highly recommended.

    reliable and experience supplier

    Posted 13 March

    We are new to this space and I spoke to probably about 10 suppliers about different possible solutions. Lindsey and Matt filled me with confidence from the first phone call straight away. Their practical approach, market knowledge and technical experience is exactly what we were looking for. The space to install the hardware is tight and Matt advised practical options that includes additional wood work to fit the hardware. The finish is very neat and the whole installation work on the day was kept tidy with minimum mess. We were kept up to date with the progress and options. Highly recommend

    Professionalism & efficiency

    Posted 13 March

    Matt arrived on time to do what he thought would be a straightforward swap of one old water softener for a new one. A two hour job which became five hours. He was so professional & efficient idealing with the problems that arose, which were all due to the installation of a new stopcock by the Waterbeach. The water supply was in the wrong place. Matt devised a straightforward answer to the problem. It is now a delight to have softened water restored in my home. Thank you Matt.

    New machine

    Posted 11 March

    Vickery Water Softeners installed a Harvey Minimax water softener to replace my previous 20 year old machine. All the work was carried out with the minimum of fuss and the old machine was taken away and disposed of. Very happy with the installation and Vickery Water Softeners.

Based in Hampshire, UK

We are based in Fareham and cover the whole of South Hampshire, from the New Forest to Southampton to Portsmouth.


All homes across the south of England suffer from hard water. Over years, chalk and limescale build up in water pipes and appliances, so much so they can stop working. More than this, drinking hard water is shown to be bad for the body. We wanted the best for our children and so invested in a water softener.

Our skilled professional engineers provide you with quality, trustworthy advice based on our many years of water softener installations and water softener servicing across Hampshire.

Benefits of a Water Softener:

  • Save Time - because soft water leaves fewer residues than hard water, you’ll need less time for cleaning
  • Save Money - which means using fewer soap and cleaning products. Better for your budget, better for our planet.
  • Improve Life - of your appliances. Not just washing machines can live longer – kettles, showers, hot water systems…
  • Improve Health - softened water reduces impact of skin issues such as eczema and psoriasis.

Vickery Water Softeners provides quality soft water that gets rid of limescale, so that your family’s health improves and your appliances last longer.
