As usual, I asked Bumfords to carry out the annual service on my gas boiler. It was easy to arrange a convenient appointment by chatting to Beth over the phone. Phil, the engineer who carried out the work this year, arrived on time and was thorough, efficient, friendly and tidy. It's clear that he is experienced and knows his work well. This is always the case with Bumford's engineers - they are realiable, I trust them to do the job well, and they do. I have been relying on Bumford's for more than 10 years now and will continue to do so.

Controls Upgrade
We have an unusual system so when we needed to up grade our controls for a remote access not every tradesman could offer a solution. Fortunately I found Bumfords who worked hard to find a solution for us. We now have remote access and independent control of all 13 zones. The installation went smoothly and all the individuals involved helped to deliver a great solution. Well done Bumfords.

New heating controls - good quality service

We had new heating controls fitted to replace our outdated ones. Bumfords provided advice on the best type for our needs. They removed our old heating controls, serviced our boiler and fitted the Hive system. We received a quote and cost. The work was carried out as agreed to both time and price. We were provided with clear information on how to use the Hive system. Bumfords were very helpful, good at responding and answering all our questions and providing advice. A professional service, with good customer service and a good price. I would recommend Bumfords and use them again.

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

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.
