I called in the morning, got a prompt reply and explained my problem. I was immediately told a valve needed repairing and that they could come out in the afternoon. They came as promised and quickly got to work, showing me the problem and clearly explaining what would be done. The work was carried out straight away and I was easily able to see and understand what had been done. I do not hesitate to recommend 1st Call Services to anyone in the Leigh-on-Sea and Westcliff areas.

My old boiler had given up the ghost. Reviewed boiler engineers in the area found 1st call services . Phoned the company and explained a new boiler was needed , Dave introduced himself and said he would see us on the Wednesday afternoon . During the visit Dave explained clearly what was needed to fit the boiler .He said he would get back to me that evening with price ,and no obligation to buy. Dave went through his diary to see when he could fit boiler if price was accepted . The next day was free .So when quote came through we were happy with the price . Dave and his apprentice arrive the next day at 8am and commenced to fit the boiler and were done by 3.30 . All through Dave and his Apprentice were very polite and friendly .Now we have a great boiler with Hive wifi .Could not recommend high enough .A great firm .

Dave installed my new boiler a few years ago and has serviced it annually ever since. I like that I get a reminder when the service is due as it saves me remembering! He's polite, friendly and efficient and leaves the area clean and tidy when he's finished. Very reasonable prices too. If I ever needed a new boiler, I would most definitely use Dave. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Remove existing radiator and install vertical radiators

In order to refurbish our kitchen, we first needed to replace an existing radiator with two vertical radiators. David understood our requirements, obtained prices for various options available and made recommendations. He subsequently installed the radiators carrying out all work cleanly and efficiently ensuring we were left with a fully working system. His approach with regards to running pipework etc. also took into consideration our plans for the kitchen to ensure the installation was the best possible for our future plans. We are also very pleased with the recommendations he made with regards to the make/quality of the new radiators provided.

David and his assistant carried out a complex boiler replacement job quickly and efficiently, including plumbing and ventilation work to convert freed-up space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. There was minimum disruption, and they were courteous and cheerful. We are pleased with the results.

Dave from 1st Call Services came and quoted to replace our boiler and fit a Hive controller, as well as check over the rest of the heating and hot water system. We were able to discuss options and it was explained what the best system would be and why. When we decided to go ahead, the communication was excellent and Dave turned up reliably when arranged. The work was completed in the time agreed and everything left neat and tidy. It was great to be able to use an independent small business and know exactly who we would be dealing with each time we called.

We have used 1st Call to install two boilers in different properties and services. David and his team were extremely helpful, professional and reliable. Customer service post-installation was excellent and David was extremely responsive. Would highly recommend and will be used for all our future needs.

Called 1st call and received first-class installation of remote valves and pressure gauge for central heating. Could not have had better response. The charges was less than quoted due to the ease and less time than anticipated. Thanks to your company and I would highly recommend it.

This is a belated review, no excuse's but this is only the 2nd review that I have ever done. Our boiler system failed completely on January 1st 2021, after waiting 16 days for a national maintenance company (not British Gas) to continually fail us with broken assurances and appointments we turned to 1st Call Services. David turned up within 4 hours of our first contact, carried out a comprehensive survey, discussed options with us and delivered a very professional proposal the next morning. David recognised the dire situation we were in and installed a new Bosch boiler and immersion tank within 6 days. Tremendous service, thoroughly recommended.
