After fruitlessly waiting weeks for another company to quote for a replacement boiler Blackwell came out a couple of days later and provided a written quote the next day. The work was scheduled for a few days later and completed efficiently and in a pleasant manner as was the follow up powerflush. They even had their joiner box in the pipework. A first class service. On top of that the original company finally sent a quote almost £1000 more than Blackwell's!

New gas boiler fitted.

This company had serviced our old gas boiler for four years. When we decided that it needed to be replaced. We asked Blackwell heating and plumbing limited. To give us an estimate for the work that needed to be done. Andy the company manager came on the day we requested, we found him very personable, knowledgeable and professional. We explained what we wanted from him, he looked at what needed to be done and then he advised us accordingly. We never felt under any pressure to go with what he advised. The following day the estimate arrived with a number of options. We selected what we needed and we were happy with the quotes which were included in the estimate. We chose the date when the work was to start. The service engineers arrived at the stipulated time, and so did the company delivering the materials. The work was completed within the time frame they gave us. It was carried out to a very high standard. The engineers were very professional focusing on their work each day. They were pleasant, polite and very efficient, removing all the waste material and cleaning up at the end of each day. When the work was complete you could not tell they had actually been apart from having a new efficient heating system. We cannot recommend this company highly enough.

Landlord gas certificate and boiler service

I contacted this trader being local to my boiler installation as a trusted trader. The office lady was very helpful in giving me the date that I had asked for, a 2 hour time slot and also the total cost. The technician duly arrived on time, carried out the boiler service and carried out the gas safety requirements very professionally. The landlord gas safety certificate was issued the same afternoon. All in all,I was very impressed with their service and will certainly use them again.

We have used Blackwell Heating & Plumbing for several years now - having initially had a new Gas Central heating system installed at our home and at a rental property. They have always been prompt, courteous and reasonable in their service costs to date. Highly Recommended.

Can't recommend enough. Very professional from Andy's first visit, to the fitters' final finish of the new shower suite and flooring. He hit a few unexpected/hidden snags that couldn't have been foreseen and dealt with them promptly and efficiently at no extra cost. All high quality fittings used and couldn't be more pleased with the finished article and the price. would highly recommend to anyone. A big thank you to Andy and his team. Outstanding work, you've made an old lady very happy.

As well as carrying out an annual boiler service for me (5 years so far), I have also phoned for advice and also recently had a repair to the boiler and a radiator. All of the staff I spoke to were helpful and professional. The engineer arrived during the appointed time, was helpful and friendly, and also tidied away all waste. Many thanks to all at Blackwell Heating.

Realised I had a cold water leak at 8.00 pm. An immediate email to Blackwell Heating and Plumbing resulted in a prompt reply from them first thing the following morning. As a result the problem had been found and the matter resolved very early in the morning by 8.30 am after the initial phone call from them. All the work was done much to my relief and satisfaction. First class service, care and attention. Thank you.

I initially dealt with MD Andrew Thomas and wanted replacements for night storage heaters in my electric-only 2 bedroom Flat and a pump to improve my poor water pressure. My reason for the changes were purely to lower the cost of my electric bills. During his site visit Andrew stated that rather than a pump it would be more cost effective to remove the existing water tank and install a smaller tank which would also improve the water pressure. I took this 'expert' advice and agreed to the work which was carried out in February 2021. The fitters were great, clean, tidy, pleasant and professional. Unfortunately the same accolades cannot be said for the company customer after-care service. I discovered to my horror that my monthly electricity bill for March was £200 so on 5 April I emailed Blackwell to request help as 'something' was obviously not right, I had left all the settings on the units exactly as the fitters left them which was at the lowest settings. Initially they said that Andrew would telephone me to arrange to call round but later that afternoon I received an email from them saying that £200 a month was quite normal and if I wanted a call out it would be subject to their usual call out fee! I emailed back expressing my disappointment and having given them a week to reconsider their stance feel I have no alternative but to leave this review to advice others of my experience so they can make a thoroughly informed decision regarding whether to employ Blackwell Plumbing.
