I have used Paul and Matthew on three occasions prior to my recent installation. A local company with vast experience and knowledge, willing to install a partial bathroom upgrade. Arriving on time, meeting their work schedule & estimate. Both personable and polite explaining the full installation process. Their happy disposition made the whole process a trouble free and stress free experience. I highly recommend this company for their attention to detail in each stage of installation. I was confident to leave them on the second day and lock my front door behind them. Very clean and tidy workmen.

The work was carried out efficiently and the site kept clean and tidy at all times. The contractor was helpful with a few little extras that needed doing and went beyond expectations. Also very helpful with instructions in the manuals of operation. Everything was carried out on schedule as agreed in the proposal invoice. After care has been agreed to validate the guarantee.

Replacement boiler and gas pipe replacement
Matt came out to see if he could repair our boiler that had broken down which unfortunately despite changing fuses etc they were unable to do - On agreement to replace the boiler Tracey managed to juggle existing jobs about so we didn't have to wait to long for the work to be done - which was done promptly on the date and time given, unfortunately the work couldn't be signed off as our gas pipes didn't meet current regulatory requirements - again this work was carried out promptly and professionally. The whole team were professional - with excellent communication skills which made me feel confident in the work they carried out I was regularly updated on the work and how it was progressing All work carried out with little disruption to us and left the house tidy and clean with no evidence of them being here apart from the greatly improved heating and hot water.

Replacement boiler - great service from Paul, Tracey and Norman

After our initial online enquiry we received a call from Tracey straight away to arrange for Paul to visit to price the job. A detailed quotation was received very promptly, and once we'd accepted she called to agree the installation date and told us who would be coming and what to expect. Paul and Norman arrived on time, and were courteous, polite and cheery. They clearly have a great working relationship, joshing with each other all the time, but most importantly they were very efficient and tidy. The new boiler was working by mid-afternoon, and the heating and hot water systems were thoroughly tested before they left. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Paul and his team to anyone.

We look forward to being of continued service in the future and hope that we can maintain the service of the boiler on a yearly basis to ensure that you receive the full Worcester 10 year parts and labour guarantee.
Just what I asked for

Needed two radiators replacing/relocating and an inspection of my central heating system to see why it wasn't working effectively. Job was completed on the scheduled date to a (very) high standard and to budget. I am especially pleased with my (now) working heating system. Great communication, good job. Thank you.

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.
