We've been using Andy for all our plumbing and central heating since back in 2014. We've used him numerous times for plumbing problems, fitting new taps, fitting new thermostatic radiator valves, new radiators, central heating service, removal of a waste disposal unit etc etc. We are really happy with his work and would definitely recommend him.

Andy arrived on time and took care removing the bath panel to connect up a new shower pump for us. He did this work for us at very short notice for which we were very grateful. Andy has also been servicing our central heating system for years and I would highly recommend him.

Andy has been looking after all my dad's plumbing and boiler work for years, including replacing the boiler a couple of years ago. He is always on time and does a really good job at a good price. If I lived in Hertfordshire I would definitely employ Andy for my plumbing but I live in Sussex so it is too far for him to visit. I would completely recommend Andy.

Andy provides detailed quotations, boiler reports and has worked on our plumbing and monitored our boiler control upgrade over a few years. His communication is excellent and Andy keeps to earlier advised timescales. He has recently undertaken our yearly boiler maintenance, sorted a cistern problem, and currently diagnosing a heating valve/ Google Nest oddity. Reliable.

Andy has done all of my plumbing work (incl new boiler) for years and has always provided an excellent, professional and friendly service. He turns up when he says he will and maintains excellent communications and helpful booking reminders. We've also asked him to do work for elderly relatives and his polite and courteous manner is much appreciated. He goes above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction and I would highly recommend him.

We prevously had boiler check and Nest install by Andy, no hesitation in having him re-visit a year later to do annual boiler service. He also swapped out large radiators that were defective, installed prior to Andy's involvement, and a towel radiator that had stopped performing was got up and running again. Andy kept us informed of timings, liaised with another Contractor and left us with a system that is capable of chucking out a lot of heat but with new TRV valves for control. Highly recommended.

Prior to discovering Andy, we had used 2 different popular plumbing companies in Bishop’s Stortford, who each had charged multiple call-outs to partially finish works - costing us a small fortune. Andy’s service is a breath of fresh air. He’s reliable, professional and takes steps to ensure we always get the most from his time. An excellent tradesman that we always recommend to nearby friends and family. He also uses automated texts for appt/service reminders and clear billing, which is very straightforward. For us, Andy had installed a smart heating system (‘Tado’), replaced the pipe work under our sink, fixed a shower - and annually services our boiler. All works have been completed to an excellent standard.

I asked Andy to come and balance the radiators. He found that there was quite a lot of sludge in the system and recommended a Power Flush company. He also fixed a bodged DIY plumbing job that I had undertaken

Andy and Phil have done several jobs for us in recent months prior to the installation of our megaflo hot water cylinder. All work has been completed to a very high standard. They explained everything in detail to us before any work took place which reassured us that we were doing the right thing. Andy and Phil were punctual and thorough and we would have to hesitation in recommending them. Mervyn and Janet.

Having finally decided to take the plunge and replace our ancient boiler, I could not be more pleased that we chose Andy to do this work for us. He gave us good, unbiased advice on the choices we had and completed the work promptly, to a very high standard and at a competitive price. I would use Andy again for any plumbing jobs and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to others.

He price was very fair. On the day of the job very punctual and completed the work on time to a high standard. I can't fault in any way and and would gladly recommend Andy to any one.

Andy has done several jobs for us and I have always been impressed. Turns up when he says he will. Explains issues but never pushes anything that is not required. I will require a new boiler system shortly and I plan to use him for that work. He was recommended to us by friends and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone requiring heating/plumbing work.

The famous Andy and his assistant attended our annoyingly leaky kitchen tap and replaced with a splendid new tap. Great job was done, on time and leaving a clean area. We always contact Andy as we get a reliable and consistent service , especially as our old cottage has odd plumbing pipe work and connections and sometimes require a lengthy time in tight spaces... Cheers to Andy.

Andy and his team have been servicing our boiler for about 10 years and installed a new boiler for my grandmother a couple of years ago and are now servicing that. Their service has always been very good: courteous, efficient and reliable. Would happily recommend him and the team to others.
