We have struggled to reorganise our lounge and decided the best option was to remove a large old radiator and install two small ones. The representative who came round explained our options and provided good advice. We received a competitive quote and arranged for the work to be done. The plumber arrived on time and undertook the job efficiently and was very tidy. Well pleased with the job and the quality of workmanship.

Contacted this firm as parents had used for many years for general plumbing and boiler servicing, but was really upset and horrified with the service (or non-service) we received. I told the plumber that mum and dad had recently passed due to COVID and explained that a leak had appeared in their last few days . The plumber who knew them, started on the repair and I explained further that the water had been turned off outside. I was then informed that he did not have a key to turn it back on and blamed the water company. He said that the main stopcock on the road had a leak and he was not allowed to touch this. He was in situ less than half an hour, said he could do no more (?!) and presented me with a bill that needed settling there and then. I contacted the water company and was reassured by them that anyone can buy a key for a fiver and turn it off at the mains. Also, having checked the so-called ‘leak’, the man from the water company stated that there was no leak on the stopcock! I put this to the owner and was told basically that it was their code of practice not to handle the main stopcock! No apology. I paid the exorbitant bill begrudgingly and shan’t be using or recommending them again. Call them out at your peril!

The trader replied (on 24/03/2021)
Thank you for your review. Firstly may I offer my sincere condolences for the loss of your parents to COVID. I fully understand that this will be a difficult time for you. From our records, you requested a call from us to your parent’s property for a leak from the Vaillant boiler. We booked the engineer to call on Friday 19th March and you were advised of our call charge which was accepted by you. It was determined by our engineer that the leak was in fact on the hot and cold pipe work under the flooring and that this had been an ongoing issue with your insurance company. We made an attempt to re-establish the mains water supply via the external Water companies stop cock. However we found a lot of water in the chamber indicating that there was a leak from the boundary stop cock which is the property of the Water Company. With experience there would have been a possibility of the stop cock breaking and causing a flood, which we would then be responsible for all associated costs to repair. Therefore yes this is our company policy not to handle the main stop cock in this situation. The engineer had a stopcock key on his van. I spoke to you on the same day and apologised that we could not re-establish the water supply and explained the reasons why. Our charges are competitive and I do not believe that £ 78.00 is an exorbitant amount for an engineer’s call. Should you wish to discuss matter further then please do not hesitate to contact me Mr Paul Hurren Director
Wish I just used them in the first place!

At the beginning of the year we had column radiators fitted, we used a company that had come highly recommended. Unfortunately, they did an appalling job and every one of them was not straight. In fact they were so bad we did not want the original company to come back as they were very obviously poor workmen. Along came James and Michael from RCH, and they did a brilliant job! James was so meticulous about getting them right. The boys were polite and tidy, they even cleaned up their cups! James is a proper skilled workman and I am delighted with the job. I simply cannot recommend enough. It wasn't cheap, but what you get is quality, old fashioned workmanship. Great company, will definitely use again.
