We needed a radiator replaced in a bedroom and used Andy for the first time. ( It won't be the last). He came around to quote and talk us through our options, which was very reassuring . 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. We will certainly be using Andy again.

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 came to replace the bathroom cistern and radiator valve. Easy! In the past he's done more challenging things like replacing our boiler and installing a water softener. Large and small - all were done to perfection.

Andy (the Famous Plumber) & Phil have looked after our heating & hot water system for the last 4 years or so, during which time we have received reliable, extremely efficient & personable service, along with some excellent advice. The most recent work we've had done was a new hot water cylinder, installed by Andy & Phil with the minimum of disruption & absolutely no hassle. They also tidied up messy pipe-work left by the previous plumber, so everything looks much neater. We have complete confidence in Andy's work & are pleased to give our recommendation.

Andy and his team carried out two lots of work for us: firstly he installed a new house pump and hot water cylinder, moved/replaced a couple of radiators and renovated some basin fittings; secondly he installed a new shower, shower cubicle and sanitary wear in a refurbished shower room. We received very high-quality advice, the work was done punctually and with great professionalism, and the attitude of the team was always cheerful, positive and respectful. The shower room looks fantastic and the flow of the shower is the best I have ever known, while at the same time everything is as tight as a drum with not a drop of water in the wrong place. I cannot recommend Andy highly enough.

Andy fixed my shower when the large bathroom company that had installed it, as well as other independent plumbers, couldn't. He also installed a heated towel rail in my bathroom and a kitchen tap. All his work was excellent, very friendly and on time. I am definitely going to get Andy to service my central heating and would totally recommend him.

Andy installed a new boiler and radiators into our house, replacing an old, inefficient system. His work is of a very high standard and he offers fair, unbiased advice (for example on different boiler or wireless control options). He has obviously installed lots of systems, but even so the final decision is made by the customer - he's not in any way pushy. Polite at all times and very quick to respond to messages online or by phone. We will certainly use Andy again.

His admin and communications were extremely efficient, we received very high-quality advice, the work was done punctually and with great professionalism, and the attitude of the team was always cheerful, positive and respectful. As if this wasn't enough, once the pump was installed it revealed a problem in the water system which Andy stayed well into the evening to fix. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I contacted Andy to arrange a review of my existing heating system and to install an new boiler and controller. Not only was Andy and his team totally professional, if found their advice and guidance impartial and felt that they were always recommending the right option, and not trying to increase prices for themselves. They were in my property for 3 days to install a new boiler, flush the system and ensure it was all working. Andy also took the time to track down the specific heated towel rail that I wanted for my bathroom. Finally, and one of the best parts of the service form the team, he checked back a few days after installation to ensure that everything was working correctly. I would heartily recommend their services to anyone.

Andy has done a couple of jobs for us including fitting a new boiler. He has always been very knowledgeable and helpful in explaining options and we really trust his opinions. In arranging appointments he has been reliable and in doing the work has been very neat and tidy. It is great to have found a plumber who we know we can rely on and contact in the future to do any other work in the same way.

I used Andy a couple of months ago when I needed to replace my programmer. He was excellent quoting for work, giving me options, very honest and genuine, did the job which I am very happy with - and also pointed out something on my water tank for me to keep an eye on. I found him through Which and I'm happy that I did.

Andy fitted a combi-boiler and overhauled all radiators over 4 days. He gave excellent advice all round, and I ended up with a very neat and thorough job. He was polite, friendly and reliable. After the job was completed, he called a couple of days later to check that all was fine - which it was. I have already recommended him to friends and will certainly use him again.

I was looking for someone to fit a modern catalytic gas fire and found Andy on this site. He was utterly reliable,phoned/turned up as arranged,was painstaking in the work of removing the old fire and backboiler and fitting the replacement. His rates were clear and reasonable. Would have no hesitation in using him again and have already recommended him to several neighbours!

Had a problem with a combi boiler. Rang Andy in the morning. By 11:30 he had fixed the problem and serviced the boiler! (not bad concidering how atrocious the weather was). Would have no problem recommending Andy. he is knowledgeable (took time to explain what he was doing in simple laymans terms) polite and punctual - what more can you ask for?

Excellent service - I asked Andy to come and remove a radiator which took a couple of hours including refilling the system and adding some anti corrosion stuff. He rang me the night before to check that all was ok, kept me in the loop as to what was happening including calling me to say that he would be 15 mins late due to traffic in Harlow. Well reccomended!

On the recommendation of a work colleague I had Andy supply and fit a Megaflo system and a water softener. I was very pleased with the service, the quality of neatness of the work and the follow up after the work was completed to make sure all was ok. I'm quite fussy and difficult to impress so he did well. I have recommended him to a number of other people and thought it was about time I put him on here.

Andy was the contractor used by the company that fitted my kitchen to install the plinth heater and move the gas cooker. He has since done all my gas appliance servicing and disconnected an old gas fire. I have confidence that he knows what he is doing and gives a good service at a good price. I have found that he phones back when he says he will and keeps in touch if he is delayed for any reason.
