I would definitely recommend these David and his team. After an emergency phone call on Saturday to David he was quick to advise me on how to stop my mothers boiler from leaking even more through her ceiling, preventing further damage. His team were prompt to come out on Monday and have fixed the problem with a very old boiler, giving both mum and myself peace of mind. Fabulous service, extremely helpful and the guys were very courteous and polite to an upset mum. Thank you once again.

Cannot recommend the company highly enough. Exceptional service and response times. We first used this plumber after another trader let us down on a gas boiler repair, and were fitted in the same day at short notice. Final work completed for less than original estimate. Impressed by previous experience we recently used Dave again - not in the least disappointed.

After the smooth and timely installation of a Worcester Bosch Greenstar 36 CDi Compact last year, Dave performed the boiler's first annual service today. The process was quick and trouble-free, and very reasonably priced. As usual, Dave was very happy to answer any questions I had, and took the time to remind me about general maintenance tips to keep the boiler running effectively. I would not hesitate to recommend 1st Call to anyone in need of gas, heating or plumbing related work.

Having read many reviews and looked at various websites I was drawn to 1st Call Services. I gave David a call, he answered promptly, I explained the situation and he came over that same day late in the evening (no doubt after a long day of work) in order to assess the situation as quickly a possible so as to be able to provide a quote for a more efficient (working) boiler. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful throughout. Not only did he assess the situation but he also diagnosed and resolved an issue with the old system. The time and effort that David gave to us that evening is very much appreciated. If you have a problem or are looking to replace your old system do not hesitate to give David a call.

Had fault with boiler and 1st Call fixed it with no cost, due to the fact it had been serviced the week before by them. David and his team have always provided outstanding service on all work for me. Small enough to care but big enough to deal.

Nice firm to deal with. Fitted a replacement shower, and took the time to explain how the plumbing and heating in our (new)property was set up. All work took place on time and we are happy with what was done. We would use them for future work and servicing.

had my boiler installed few days ago by David and all i can say is i'm very happy with their service,very punctual guided me along when he did the survey and recommended the suitable boiler for my flat,he even came during the night just to see the job..no messing around just to told me his honest opinion on things and we carry on with the installation. He came on time with his pal scotty,the man with so many talents,prepped the the floor with dust sheets and worked throughout the day with added entertainment lol..i would definitely recommend him to all my friends and will call him again to do my yearly service, glad i found a very reliable heating company like 1st call services!!!!
