We were very happy with the work Bumfords had done at our previous house in South Yorkshire and wanted them to do the replacement boiler & heating system in our "new" (18th century) house near Matlock. It was a fairly big job (over a week) and not straightforward but Robin took the time to assess the requirement and came up with a very good proposal. The engineers, Phil and Joe, then did a fantastic job to get everything in and up and running with the minimum of disruption. All in all, Bumfords were excellent and we highly recommend them.

Have used Bumfords for many years and wouldn't go anywhere else. Although busy through high demand, Robin took the time to assess the work needed and discuss how best to meet our needs. New boiler was installed as scheduled by polite, professional and friendly heating engineers, Matt and Jack, whose work was outstanding. Would highly recommend.

Bumford's engineer, Craig, arrived at agreed time and completed whole job in a timely manner. A key factor on this was to do the job without draining down the system (open vent system with h/w cylinder). Did this very efficiently, with no mess at all. Would highly recommend.

New Worcester 12RI boiler
Customer Service

My new boiler was fitted yesterday. I have used Bumford Heating to service my boilers for over 20 years. As I needed the boiler replacing I didn’t shop around, I just contacted Bumford. Alex visited my house and discussed which boiler would be suitable. Yesterday morning Phil arrived at 8 am to commence the work. He was very polite and efficient. The work was completed in one day as I was told it could take up to two days. The outside work looks wonderful as I was concerned that it wouldn’t be as neat as it was formally. I should not have worried. I didn’t even have to sweep the drive etc. Both inside and outside were left clean and tidy. I have no hesitation to recommend this company.

New combination boiler
Customer Service

New combination boiler required new copper pipe upgrade. This was a bigger job than just installing a boiler. They did a very careful job of installing the new pipe work on the outside of the house taking on board my requests as to how it should look and not stand out too much. They kept to schedule and cleaned up after themselves. They were though beforehand in the discussion around which boiler would best suit us. They were professional and would not shy away from explaining that regulations specified that a larger diameter gas pipe was needed. Other companies did not tell us about this.

Bumfords fitted an unvented cylinder system and removed my old system including the water tank in the loft. The work was carried out with care and precision. Attention to small detail and leaving everything clean and tidy was excellent. I received excellent advice beforehand and the new system is delivering everything promised.

My old back boiler needed replacing and I wanted the new one to be fitted in a cupboard in my bathroom. First time I've used Bumfords, from beginning to end, a most professional service, which means it won't be the last. The guys where great, nothing too much trouble. Great team, great work. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you.

New oil fired boiler supplied and fitted
Customer Service
Quality

I needed to replace my existing oil boiler and Bumfords were local with a good reputation. Robin Bumford came and completed a site survey alone with a very competitive quote. Prior to this Robin returned with the engineer Phil Romans and discussed the installation. On the day of the installation, phil removed and disposed of my old oil boiler and fitted a brand new Worcester Bosch. Only when he fired it up did he find fault with the boiler - this was not his fault but immediately contacted Worcester Bosch and an engineer came and replaced the part free of charge immediately. I would have no hesitation I'm recommending Bumfords heating and both Robin and Phil did and excellent installation at a very competitive price - compared to other local companies.

Very professional service from first phone call to completing the work. Everyone was very helpful in sorting out the problem and delivering a solution. We had a new hot unvented water system installed. Very responsive to first phone call and assessing the work. A clear quote and agreed installation date. Explained the installation, how to use and future maintenance. Kept disruption to a minimum and cleared away as went along. Completed installation to schedule and price. Excellent quality job. Will definitely use again.
