Having just moved, I called Mr Bamsey out of the blue in the morning to fix a faulty lavatory flush a leaking tap. He was able to come that afternoon because of a cancellation. He replaced the flush system after some complications resulting from the age of cistern and also fixed the leaking tap. All done efficiently and tidily. I have already arranged for him to service the boiler and he will be my go-to plumber in future.

Martin serviced my boiler and fitted a new main burner gasket as a precaution. He fitted the new Vaillant boiler 5 or 6 years ago and did an excellent job. His knowledge and expertise is superb. He is the most thorough and professional heating engineer we have ever used. I highly recommend him!

I had a new vaillant boiler fitted by their recommended engineer S & A Heating Torquay, the fitter rushed the job, left a leak, did not balance the system, nor explain the workings, it took ages to get an engineer out to rectify the system,, he could only look at the boiler, not the system. I found Mr Bamsey so different: careful , thorough, and sorted out the problem.

Estimate for work required on heating system

I contacted Bamsey Plumbing and Heating after noticing a leak from my heating system. I was naturally very concerned that this could rapidly lead to more serious problems. I was already aware that the ageing gas boiler would need replacement in the foreseeable future. Martin visited my home on 13 February; he thoroughly assessed the problem, and fully discussed the options available to me. He then promptly provided an estimate for the work we had discussed. From my conversations with Martin, I would have been very happy to engage Bamsey Plumbing and Heating to carry out the work. The fact that I appointed an alternative installer was not based primarily on cost, but on my personal circumstances at the time. Thank you for your help, Martin.

Martin was very professional, answered my questions clearly, and conducted a very thorough boiler service. Aftercare: My boiler fan was staying on longer than expected and after exchanging a few diagnostic emails Martin diagnosed a setting that I was able to easily adjust to correct the issue. At the time of writing this review, I have had no further issues. I have recommended him to others and they have been delighted with his work.

Martin was recommended to me and responded quickly to my enquiry regarding a boiler leak, attended the same day and diagnosed the issues immediately. The boiler received its most comprehensive service ever and was fully repaired - with parts ordered overnight - within twenty four hours of first contact. Martin is highly professional and very knowledgeable. He explains everything very clearly, is considerate and a pleasure to deal with. This is the level of customer service that all tradesmen should aspire to and I have no hesitation in recommending him highly and endorsing his status as a Which Trusted Trader.

Cannot praise martin highly enough. He responded to my contact quickly and came to our house within 24 hrs. He was very clear about what work was required on the boiler and gave honest opinion regarding repair and cost which was a good price. I felt very reassured by him. The repair was completed the next day and the boiler is now fully working. I felt he was very professional and did a very good job and i would not hesitate in using him again or recommending him to friends. Trustworthy company. Very glad I found him on the which trusted traders.

Having waited three weeks for our regular gas boiler engineer to come and inspect a water leakage in our boiler, I gave up and consulted Which? Trusted Traders. I found Martin Bamsey, who came within hours of my contacting him and quickly identified and stopped the leak. I shall definitely invite him again when our annual boiler service is due. I mentioned this to him and he promised to open a file for me with a note to bring a spare part with which to replace a non-essential but slightly damaged part when he comes to do the annual service. Now that's what I call top quality service.

Martin has just finished a long overdue transformation to my late 1960’s shower room and laundry room. It presented many challenges which he resolved very successfully. He is hard working, conscientious, reliable and doesn’t waste any time (including non-existent lunch breaks!) He is also professional, unobtrusive and easy to have around. I am more than pleased with the finished transformation and very grateful for the helpful suggestions along the way. I have no hesitation in recommending Bamsey Plumbing and Heating.

Martin is definitely an expert in his field and always does a thorough , careful and safe job, explaining clearly the reasons why a repair is needed. He is efficient and gets the work done on time, with no fuss, bother or mess! I thoroughly recommend Martin for all gas and plumbing work.

I had the annual service on my Worcester Greenstar gas fired combi boiler carried out by Bamsey Plumbing and Heating in September. This was it's second service, it was installed in September 2015. From first contacting Martin by mobile to book the service, to carrying out the work, I found him to be very professional and courteous. He arrived on time, and the job was completed quietly, no fuss. He was also very helpful in advising me about Building Regulations certification. I have booked him for next years service.

Having moved into a brand new area (from Derby to Devon), we discovered a few plumbing issues in our new home. After seeing his reviews on trusted trader, we took a chance. Martin came out within a couple of days (it wasn’t an emergency) and sorted the lot. The whole experience was friendly, professional, quick, high quality and great VFM! What more do you need? I would highly recommend Martin and he’s our plumber of choice now! Thank you Martin....

I have lived on my own for 17 years now and had to find someone I could trust in and feel comfortable with and that has been Martin, he has replaced boilers for me, serviced them and done other heating and plumbing work for me over the years and have always found him to be very professional, competitive with his pricing, trustworthy and friendly. I have had to text him on/ring him during unsocial hours when I have had a problem and he always responds right back. I cannot praise him highly enough.

My heating had stopped working on the coldest day of the year. I rang Martin Bamsey early on Monday morning, as someone I know had recommended him. He said he would arrive midmorning, and indeed he did. He then removed a leaking radiator, and restored my heating while he got a new one. This was installed and the system eventually restored, though it was some time before all the radiators were working properly. I was very grateful for his prompt, efficient and effective help, and for the kind way he worked. He also left no mess whatever!

Martin was referred to us by a friend and I cannot praise him highly enough for his experience, punctuality, frendliness and standard of work. He has been a breath of fresh air compared to others we have used in the past. We had a boiler which no other plumber seemed to fully understand but no problems for Martin. We later had an extension and needed a higher capacity boiler and as part of our kitchen refit. Martin clearly explained what we needed and why he was recommending the one he believed was the most suitable. It has been brilliant and he comes back annually to service it at a very reasonable cost. Always on time, very polite and informative. I also called him out to an emergency at our work premises and again it was all sorted out promply and efficiently. I have no hesitation in recommending Martin for any plumbing work.

My Worcester boiler had completely collapsed, Martin came and looked at it and I thought I'd need a new one but he said that he could fix it and he did it to his utmost, absolutely brilliant. Very experienced, I'd certainly recommend him. He consulted with the technical division of Worcester, he went out of his way to get parts and he left everything in perfect working condition. Everything was done safely, he really is the best I've had and I'm an old lady. He's really got me out of a bad spot with expertise.
