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.

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.

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.

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.

As is generally the case when the heating system breaks down, it’s the weekend and it’s cold! We were delighted that David was able to organise a technician (Jason) to attend to our property on the same day and diagnose/rectify the problem, which included collecting spares and returning to the property to complete the repair. Friendly and professional service, I’d thoroughly recommend 1st Call Services.

Boiler installation by 1st Call Services
Customer Service
Quality

We committed to contracting 1st Call Services to fit our new Bosch boiler after speaking to the proprietor, David to discuss options. Our preference was always to support a local company and we were reassured by David’s knowledge and openness in terms of outlining options - this is always reassuring as one doesn’t get the sense that one is hearing a ‘hard sell’ for one particular product. We settled on a Worcester 32CDI and the quote we received was competitive and in line with others secured. Ultimately, our decision to go with 1st Call Services was predicated on trusting David to deliver on his commitment. He did this by arriving on time, fitting the boiler in a very professional manner (some piping required rerooting etc.), and remaining courteous throughout. He also ensured that the area where the boiler was fitted remained tidy and as he had found it prior to fitting. He was supported on the day by a company apprentice whose customer service skills were exemplary. In summary, I’d have no hesitation in recommending David and 1st Call Services.

David’s team are very professional, very polite, very honest, there are no hidden charges - the price quoted was the price paid. David has completed a few different jobs for us in the past at previous properties and so we were very confident that he would do a great job with the removal of our old boiler and replace it with a new, more modern and efficient boiler that was suited to our household. Once again, he hasn’t let us down and we are very pleased with the work. The team arrived promptly, were very friendly, demonstrated everything and cleaned up before they left.

Customer Service
Quality

Always a worry having work done - but no need. David and his team did an excellent job. The survey was carried out by the guys who were actually going to do the work. A very thorough survey and any issues or concerns could be discussed. On the day: they arrived on time, smart clean well equipped vans, all in work uniforms. Rolled out dusts sheets all over the carpets ready for work. A quick chat about storing water for the loo, making the mortar, and for the tea. Old system out whilst another of the team installed the new boiler. Very well organised. Another contractor arrived and removed the waste (old boiler, tanks, cylinder etc.) Pipework is excellent - a true tradesman. The central heating system was thoroughly flushed through using a Magnacleanse machine (not Power Flushed). The machine chemically and magnetically removes system sludge (if there is any). It is worth looking at Magnacleanse machine (not the filter) on YouTube. David (the proprietor) is the third member of the team. So it isn't 'pot luck' who you are going get on the day. The end result: excellent job for the quoted price, genuine Bosch magnetic filter (not a cheaper quality one that some other firms use). All the instructions for using the new boiler and roomstat very well explained. The team are a 'team' and work very efficiently - I do recommend 1st Call Services. Keen price, supplied exactly what I wanted and did an excellent job.

What can I say; it was an absolute fantastic service provided by 1st Call Services at every step of the process. From the initial survey until the job was completed, David and the team offered a very professional service; offering advice and explanations along the way. When my old boiler decided to die, I did my research and decided I wanted to go for a particular boiler; after talking through with David, he suggested a slightly different model and I am very pleased that not only that I did listen, but David actually suggested the better option. I would highly recommend 1st Call Services if you want an honest service, provided by a professional, friendly and not to forget funny team. :-)

I bought a house that had the boiler in the master bedroom with a rather noisy condensate pump. 1st Call were able to find a different route for the condensate pipe that would allow it to drain by gravity and do away with the pump. At the same time I got them to install a new radiator and change the bathroom radiator to a heated towel rail. The towel rail turned out to be a lot trickier than expected as the bathroom is connected to the system using an unusual "one-pipe" layout. It took three attempts to come up with a working pipe layout, but 1st Call did not charge extra, and were happy to demonstrate that there was good flow through the towel rail when I queried whether it might itself be the cause of the problems. David even took the trouble to draw me a diagram showing the difference between one-pipe and two-pipe systems. I will definitely be using 1st Call again.

David & his team made a fantastic job of replacing our central heating system with a new Worcester Bosch Greenstar 30i combination boiler together with replacing 10 radiators and removing the cold water and hot water tanks. Arrived at agreed time each day and laid protective ground sheets in the work areas to ensure a tidy job whilst doing the installation & commissioning. They also tidied up and hoovered the work areas each night before leaving. David discussed our needs during the estimate visit and gave helpful input to offer a better solution with a competitive price. David leads an experienced work team who were hardworking, quietly efficient and provide a great central heating service. I would have no hesitation to highly recommend 1st Call Services to other Which readers.

Based on reviews in Which? Local and the competitive quote provided, I employed 1st Call (David Ryther) to replace the 25 - 30 year old (finally dead) boiler in my bungalow. Due to a change in regulations this involved re-siting the boiler from the kitchen to the garage and running pipes around the loft to connect to the central heating and hot water cylinder. The rain on the day was torrential so the 1st Call team were pretty wet from moving from house to garage and installing the external flue. They did a great job, started and finished in one day, and remained cheerful throughout despite their soaking. Nearly 3 months on and the Worcester Bosch boiler is working well and (fingers crossed!) all the pipework is sound and leak free. I have no hesitation in recommending 1st Call.

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 a Worcester bosch Greenstar 28CDi Compact combi-boiler fitted by 1st call services (boiler now pay later) on 14/1/15 as a straight swap. The service received has been superb from start to finish. On the phone he gave me a rough idea of what was needed & a rough price, he was not pushy & left with ME to contact him. He came to quote. After agreeing a price, finance was approved on the spot. David happily arrived on time (despite traffic) on the day arranged, quickly recapped, then I left for work. I arrived home at 2pm Scott & Robin had done a lot. Job was finished at 4.30pm & I was given a demo, & a look at the new boiler. Signed the paper work. I emailed David throughout the process with questions which he answered in extremely good time. The whole process was smooth, not pressured, and quick. David and his team were professional, and know the job well. The outcome? Well the new boiler is brilliant, so quiet compared to the old one I had, heats up the house nice, and the overall finish looks good. I would recommend David and his team, and would use them again in future. See you next year for the service.Thank you and your team.

I needed my boiler replaced and as normal checked with Which to find a good manufacture and Worcester came out best and I am a great fan of Bosch products and always purchase them where possible. So my next step was to find a competent installer and as I have done before used Which Local Trader and picked a local company, 1st Call Services, contacted David and made an appointment for an estimate, for which he was very thorough and described in detail what was required. On the day of installation he was on time, worked hard all day with quite a lot of extra pipework and was completed the same day which did surprise me. He had a polite and friendly attitude and I would recommend 1st Call Services, for any boiler and pluming work you couldn't do better.
