Lovely tradespeople who fixed my problem incredibly quickly

I noticed that my hot water cylinder was leaking and called up Bumfords on Monday morning. They said that they would have a slot available on Thursday, but they might try to move it up to Wednesday if possible. About an hour later, they called to say that they could come and look at it the same day! The engineers who came round were lovely, very clearly explained the fault and what work was needed without being at all patronising, which, as a woman, I really appreciated. I then got a clear quote for the work, which I was happy with. A little while later, they had managed to secure the part and returned to complete the work! I highly recommend Bumfords and will be returning to them for all my heating/plumbing needs in the future.

Repair to leaking toilet

A date was arranged a couple of days ahead. I was informed of the costs involved. Arrived promptly at prearranged time. Phil explained that he didn't have a part appropriate to the toilet & had to go to a plumber's merchant. He offered an estimate of the cost of parts before going. All work was completed, having explained what work had been done & tested. It was done cleanly, with all fittings replaced. Footwear was removed from my door. I was very pleased once again with Bumfords' service.

Water leaking through Kitchen ceiling
Customer Service

After taking a shower we noticed water coming through kitchen ceiling, I immediately rang Bumfords as they had done work for me previously, within the hour Phil was sent out and diagnosed that water was seeping through the tile grouting after discussing various options we decided to line the shower and put a larger shower tray in . To make sure we had a shower before work commenced, Phil lined the shower with black bags to stop the link. Robin came out to measure and discussed all options, I received an estimate. Monday 21st July, Phil and Joe turned up and started work - they did an excellent job, we were so pleased. They left the house spotless and I can't praise them high enough. I will always use and recommend Bumfords.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We’re so pleased that you got back in touch with us and that Phil was able to respond so quickly to identify the cause of the leak. It’s great to hear the temporary fix kept your shower usable until the new tray and lining could be installed. We know how important it is to have as little disruption as possible, and we’re delighted that Phil, Joe, and Robin delivered the high standard of service and workmanship we pride ourselves on. Your comments about the team’s professionalism, care, and the spotless finish mean a lot to us. We truly appreciate your continued trust and recommendation, and we’ll always be here to help whenever you need us.
Highly recommendable

We have been using Bumford heating for years with no problems and was pleasantly surprised to find that they still had our personal details on record. This time we had a boiler change, all new radiators and full system flush. The job was quoted and scheduled by Robin Bumford and over a 4 day period carried out by Mathew and another colleague. The guys were clean, tidy, fun to have around the house and a credit to Bumfords. From initial contact to completion, we are very satisfied and beleive Bumford heating to be highly recommendable.

Fitted new shower cubicle. Fitted new radiator. Mended leak in bathroom
A truly reliable company. I have had new combi boiler installed by them. 2020. Serviced every year. Leak under extension caused by builders negligence. 2020. 2024 new shower cubicle. 2025 leak from shower waste they did not fit. New kitchen radiator. Never let you down. If urgent they come the same day. If not next day. Always someone manning the phones

Very good job of fitting Air conditioning. The team happily worked round the needs of my handicapped son and my wife.

The work was done efficiently and to agreed dates and prices. When there was a delay because Worcester Bosch did not have the items required I was offered alternatives to start without delays. I had researched different manufacturers and decided to stay with my first choice so the delay was technically down to my choice. When the work started Bumfords recognised that my disabled son and wife were stressed by the work going on around them so laid on extra resources to minimise disruption and worked around their needs The work was completely quickly and tidily and cools the rooms down quickly even on the hottest day of the year and is more economical than I expected too. I was very pleased with politeness of the installers and the finished installation. I heartily recommend them.

Bumfords recently relocated our boiler, washing machine, and tumble dryer from our kitchen/utility to our garage. They did an absolutely fantastic job to an incredibly high standard. The job required a good deal of new pipework throughout the house, which they completed with the minimum of disruption. The team was very clean and tidy, and pleasant to have in the house. We couldn’t have been more satisfied with the outcome. They also installed a manifold for underfloor heating…they will be returning later in the year to fit this after we have completed some internal renovations. The communication with Robin and the lead engineer (Phil) was also excellent. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough!

Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're delighted to hear that you were so pleased with the work — relocating a boiler, washing machine, and tumble dryer is no small task, so it's great to know everything was completed to your satisfaction and with minimal disruption. Robin, Phil, and the rest of the team will really appreciate your kind words. We’re looking forward to returning to complete the underfloor heating once your renovations are done. Thanks again for your trust and recommendation! Best wishes, The Bumford Heating Team
