Matthew installed a new hot water outdoor tap at our property and everything went extremely smoothly. High-quality work, clean, professional and competitively priced. Can't fault and wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Will be our go-to plumber going forward.

Hope your dog is enjoying a warmer wash down following the install. Thermostatic mixing valves or bar shower mixers for washing or hosing down animals outside are certainly now a very popular addition to a animal friendly household. Thank you for your kind review and look forward to being of service again in the future.

This was the second job that Matthew from Paul Wareing Heating and Plumbing has done for me in the past couple of months. The work was excellent - neat, tidy and 100% efficient. Matthew is a very customer friendly tradesman who makes you feel completely comfortable that you are going to get a 1st class job with no fuss. The quotation was very reasonable and everything worked exactly as arranged with the office. The best plumbing firm that I've ever used, no question.

As a trusted Heating Engineer and Plumber I engaged Paul to replace my Gas Boiler. He and his colleague arrived promptly on the scheduled day and over the next day and a half carried out the work with professionalism and efficiency. Having cleared up after the work he explained to me the operating instructions of the boiler before leaving. Paul is a friendly and very helpful professional who I would highly recommend to anyone needing plumbing/heating work done.

Referred to me by my work colleagues, Paul’s company provided a competitive quote with assurances in place about what suited my property and our family needs - We were long overdue to replacing a 20 year old boiler. Quote provided quickly and agreed. Fantastic job arriving promptly each day to both install the boiler and remove a redundant boiler-mate. Paul registered the combi boiler which has a 10 year guarantee. Didn’t need to communicate that much as all questions answered swiftly, including those I didn’t ask. Unreservedly recommend. I will be using Paul for my annual service and other plumbing services.

From my first enquiry about having a new boiler fitted I received excellent service. Appointments were kept, paperwork was received on time and clear to understand. On the day of the fit and replacement, the work was completed in a clean and tidy way and the new boiler works really well. First-class all round

We needed a new boiler and with winter approaching the Wareings were able to prioritise our request. The work was carried out professionally and to the agreed quotation. A survey was carried out before commencing work to establish location of plumbing, electrics and gas supply, etc. Additionally, a defective shower was repaired at the same time as the new boiler installation. When a problem occurred during installation, time was taken to resolve issues. If any problems occur post installation, I have been advised to keep in touch with Paul Wareing. Both boiler and shower are functioning well, ahead of winter which is great. Initially, there was air in the central heating system when the new boiler was commissioned, Paul Wareing returned promptly to resolve the problem. Before and after the work being carried out, communication was good with phone calls being answered or returned promptly. After the work was completed, the house was left clean and tidy. I can thoroughly recommend this company for their professionalism and customer care.

I contacted Paul Wareing plumbing and heating on a recommendation from a friend and must say they more than lived up to this. From start to finish they're friendly, professional approach was much appreciated. Having had some bad experiences with workmen in the past I am wary of having anyone in the house but both Paul and son were both hardworking and my fears were soon dispelled on meeting them. Paul made a second visit prior to starting work to advise on the job and clearing the house for access and completed the replacement of boiler and water tank efficiently and easily within the time frame as we wanted and did not, unlike other quotes try to get us to have what we didn't want. The system has been up and running for a couple of weeks now and we are very happy with the system and quality of the work done.
