Blackhall Plumbing Heating & Electrical

We've happily used P Blackhall for 3 years for all of our plumbing and heating requirements. We've now trusted them to install a new HIU (Heat Interface Unit) for us in our flat as part of a communal heating system. As usual in any old building, there were challenges, but the P Blackhall Manager (Tim) successfully overcame them all, including a few extra ones outside his direct remit. His team (Andy and Sean) were highly professional, efficient and polite in everything they did during the de-installation of the old unit and the installation and thorough commissioning of the new HIU. They were confident through high standards of training and a lot of experience, and it showed in their professional approach to each and every task as they worked methodically through the project. The service from Blackhall was first class, as usual. Thank you, P Blackhall.

The hot water system was not working, but the central heating radiators were fine. The engineer, Grant, came on the booked time and date and was very quick to sort the problem. In addition he explained a number of workings of our system that should have been explained to us when the boiler was originally installed (by British Gas). This extra time taken by Grant will help us to ensure we will have less issues in the future.

I had had a bathroom with an overhead shower above the bath. With advancing years I wanted to remove the bath and have a walk-in shower instead. Given the size and layout of the room, it was not an entirely straightforward job. It required careful thought as to how it would be acomplished. It was carried out by Grant Brannan with occasional assistance from an apprentice. I cannot praise Grant too much. The work was carried out entirely satisfactorily throughout and the end result is exactly what I was hoping it would be. I am not an expert in these matters but it seemed to me that the quality of his work was of the highest order. In my view he was not just a plumber but a highly skilled and intelligent craftsman. He was always polite and considerate and explained fully what he was doing as the work progressed. I should also add that the back-up from the compamy's other personnel who were dealing with the job was also very helpful and satisfactory.

We recently had a commercial gas boiler installed by M/s P Blackhall Ltd., and we couldn't be more pleased with the service. From the initial consultation through to the final installation, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and highly efficient. They took the time to understand our heating requirements and provided expert advice on the best system for our premises. The installation was completed on schedule, without any disruption to our operations, and the workmanship was of the highest standard. The engineers were courteous, safety-conscious, and left the site clean and tidy. Highly recommended for any commercial property looking for reliable heating solutions and outstanding customer service.

We had installation of 26 solar panels plus a battery. The quotation process was straightforward, by the installer, and the quote included extras like bird guards. There was no hard sell. We dealt with him throughout the installation. He made a good recommendation of panels on both sides of the roof based on the site which has turned out well, as I was keen to reduce our carbon footprint as much as possible. The panels were installed by a specialist roofer. There were problems with the Solaredge monitoring system (not the installation) which did take a while to sort out, requiring liaison with Solaredge. Added to the fact that it took six months for Scottish Power Networks to send an export MPAN number, this did cost us some money, but Blackhall agreed to compensate us for this. A thorough and personal service, but not the cheapest.

Excellent service from P Blackhall. Peter Moonie, the electrical manager, responded promptly and diagnosed the issues correctly, providing a much more suitable model of fan for my shower. Brandon, the electrician, was very polite and completed the work in a timely and reassuring manner. I’m very pleased with the result and would certainly recommend this company.

Blackhall did our two-ring security cameras. Very quick and effective job. All finished as requested and the cameras are fully operational. Excellent job. Would highly recommend!!!

I would strongly recommend Blackhall’s Company. They assessed and fitted solar panels on our roof as part of a combined project with our neighbours. They worked on schedule, within budget and came up with a workable solution when an issue arose. The staff are professional, efficient and demonstrated high levels of knowledge and expertise in this field. All members of the team were polite and respectful so it was a pleasure working with them.

P Blackhall were very timely and efficient and thorough with their installation of our solar panels. The workmen demonstrated expertise at their tasks and were courteous and tidied up well. The system started to work well immediately it was completed and we were provided with lots of technical information to support us. We would use the company again and be happy to recommend them from our experience.

We are readers of Which? magazine and have for many years put faith in its Trusted Trader accreditation. On that basis we approached P Blackhall Ltd in Edinburgh to supply and fit a solar panel and battery system for us. P Blackhall was up front with its full disclosure that it had been maintaining and repairing systems for many years but was only just moving into full supply and fit, so our system would be one of the first. Both P Blackhall and ourselves acknowledged that there were going to be mistakes and a bit of a learning curve. There were indeed issues some of which stemmed from further down the supply chain and so were not the fault of P Blackhall. However, P Blackhall was good on its commitment to sort out all the issues to deliver a 7.75kW in-roof system with a Solar Edge 10kW battery to meet the performance we were hoping to achieve. P Blackhall also supplied the MCS Certificate and submitted a successful DNO application to enable us to sell any excess electricity generated. If you are in the Edinburgh area and want to use a company that puts its main focus on customer service and satisfaction, then P Blackhall should be high on your shortlist.

Stuart, Mikey and the P Blackhall solar team are lifesavers - I cannot recommend them highly enough. I got taken for a ride by a local solar installation firm, who left me with a damaged roof, no MCS certification, no DNO, no paperwork, and then disappeared into thin air. Stuart and Mikey came and surveyed my system, brought it up to code, certified it, AND repaired my roof and fit vermin screening, for a good price. They're total professionals with a real understanding of the sector and a genuine passion for the work they're doing. I won't be going anywhere else in future.

We had the gas hob in our rental flat replaced by an induction one, primarily to reduce the carbon footprint but also fire risk and humidity. I found P Blackhall on the web offering both gas and electrics expertise, as well as specifically in installing induction, and Peter Moonie in their electrics department provided clear info and a competitive quote for the installation (we had sourced the hob ourselves - note that we had selected a "plug into normal socket" 13 amp model, so we needed no great changes to the electrics). The job itself was performed by engineer Gavin in the presence of our tenants to everybody's satisfaction - Gavin came at the agreed time and left things behind in a neat state. I saw the new hob in person myself a few weeks later: it looks great and has been a pleasure for the tenants to work with. We would use Blackhall again after this first experience (and have, in the meantime). They are not flashy, but their relatively simple IT setup regarding email comms and invoicing was easily good enough for us.

P Blackwood came to my rescue and assessed my Solar power installation which had faults and was originally installed incorrectly. They corrected the faults, issued me with an MCS Certificate and now my Solar installation works perfectly with no alarms and the Solar panels are correctly fixed to my roof and easily withstood the recent gales. I would fully recommend P Blackwood for any future renewables installations.

I have used this trader twice, once for a leak in the kitchen and then for a shower issue (no pressure or hot water) Both times, the issue was resolved efficiently and in a timely manner. Happy to recommend

This was my first time using Blackhall Plumbing and Heating. I can't tell you my relief at choosing this company due to their professional service and aftercare. Not only did Stuart arrange a fast viewing and quote, he even came out personally after hours when the job was complete. There was a small issue (easily resolved involving electric trip switch) and he thoroughly checked that my boiler was working efficiently. Sean in particular really impressed me. The variety of jobs needing done were dealt with quickly and efficiently. Both he and his apprentice were very helpful and friendly - they even took in deliveries at my door for me (I'm physically disabled) and assembled a shower seat! This was really going above and beyond the service that I was expecting. I felt the price was also very reasonable considering everything that got done. Don't hesitate to use this company.

We found Tim and his superb team on Which? Trusted Traders after our boiler broke down and we discovered our long term engineers had retired. Our system is complex, and significant connectivity and supply problems arose in the replacement of the boiler. All these were eventually solved by hard work and commitment by the team who were unfailingly courteous, skillful, tidy and on time. We have had a long term problem with water supply to our bath which 4 other firms had looked at over the last 5 years with no solution other than lifting the tiled floor to investigate. This was mentioned and it has now been fixed by the team without any disturbance. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

I have used PBlackhall plumbing for years. They are always fast to come out and provide a great service with people that I can trust. If work doesn't need doing they say so. Would highly recommend.

The plumber sent by P Blackhall was clean and courteous and arrived promptly. He stood back and quoted/told it would be a big job - two men all day by another firm. He stood back and took time to consider the options. He said that it was a straightforward job no need to drain down system. He could do it himself. He completed the work within 4 hours even going for parts. He left a very clean and tidy job.

From my initial telephone contact to completion of the work and billing for the agreed cost, Blackhall Plumbing Heating & Electrical have provided an excellent service. They responded to my request that the problem be dealt with as an emergency, their plumber Derek gave a clear explanation of the work required, carried it out efficiently in a friendly professional manner, and the cost of the work was as expected from their stated terms. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

P Blackhall's employees Mickey and Jay did a really great job fixing the solar panels. They sorted out and fixed the wiring and tested the system. They came when they said they would and were professional, tidy and polite. They carefully explained in language we could understand what they were doing, why it needed doing and were generally helpful.

Repaired leaking radiator and replaced valve. Turned up promptly at agreed time and carried out repair without any fuss.

This is the second major job I have had done by Blackhall Plumbing. From the estimate to completion, the work carried out was of the highest standard. The employees turned up in liveried can, workwear and face masks. They worked diligently and hrs over the two days making sure the minimum of impact was had on areas not being worked on. They left the house as they had found it. Highly recommended and reliable.

I have used Blackhall Plumbing several times for my mothers property, the latest being a replacement toilet. This was carried out within the time and budget stated. The plumber went above and beyond to create a shelf as the toilet was smaller than the original. He was very friendly, polite and left the bathroom clean and tidy. All previous dealings with this company, which involved a faulty boiler, have been very positive. They responded very quickly when I explained my mother was elderly.

From my initial contact with the company through to completion of the work, I found all members of staff with whom I had contact (reception, heads of departments, engineers) to be extremely professional and approachable. The work was carried out to a high standard, and I was delighted with the result.

Requested emergency call-out for a leaking kitchen sink. Attended within four hours and repair completed within 15 minutes. Plumber, well presented, very pleasant and observed all COVID precautions We have dealt with this company on many occasions and have always been very pleased with their work. We originally used them to change a low battery (detector therefore emitting a high-pitched ton) in a smoke detector on a high ceiling at the top of a stair and they were the only company who would come out. Brilliant and friendly
