Bourne Plumbing & Heating

Only a small job - fitting a new kitchen tap unt - but carried out quickly and efficiently.

I hired Anthony of Bourne Plumbing and Heating to install my new Viessmann central heating boiler. Anthony is my go-to plumber for any plumbing work, from minor maintenance to major installations such as this. The job was not straightforward as the new Viessmann boiler needed to be installed on an outside wall, unlike my previous 30 year old floor-standing model with a flue up the chimney. Water and gas pipes needed to be run through a wall to the new location. All this was done efficiently, with the minimum of fuss. Anthony works closely with Colin, a carpenter with decades of experience, who boxed in the exposed pipework, leaving an excellent cosmetic finish. He also created a custom-built cupboard to fill the void where the old boiler used to be. I recommend Bourne Plumbing and Heating for all your plumbing needs.

Excellent work. Very neat. Extremely competent. Punctual. Work carried out to a very high standard. Would definitely recommend.

This was the second time that I have used Bourne Plumbing. The first occasion was May 2022 but I forgot to leave a review [apologies]. Last year involved a replacement flushing unit and replacement towel radiator heating element. This year also involved a replacement flushing unit. Anthony is reliable, efficient, courteous, works cleanly, orders spare parts as necessary and returns to complete works in as short a time as possible. He does not demand payment before work is started, and only sends an invoice via email with details of how to pay once work has been completed. His rates are reasonable. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Bourne Plumbing and will certainly use Anthony again for any work/problems in the future.

Bourne Plumbing delivered a highly professional outcome that exceeded my expectations across the board including a comprehensive solution to my problem. I would wholeheartedly recommend this company.

Anthony responded very promptly to communication re appointment and, as with previous work, fitted in the work at short notice. He was on time and did a very thorough and tidy job. Anthony is friendly, polite and reliable. I would use his services again and have no hesitation in recommending.

Very professional approach. On time, clean and efficient. Everything was explained along the way. Very neat and tidy, thoroughly recommend this company.

Anthony had previously overhauled an existing sink tap during which he commented that the tap wasn’t very good quality. When the seal to the sink failed we phoned to ask for advice about getting a new one fitted. I told him what we wanted in a new tap and could he advise us. He made an appointment to come to look at it before which I emailed him to ask if he’d bring any suitable brochures. He arrived early and waited until we arrived back from a hospital appointment. He didn’t bring brochures but thoughtfully put 2 taps in his van which he thought would fit the bill. One was perfect and he said he would do it immediately if we wanted which he did and all was completed in just under an hour. The price was much as we expected and he sent an email with the cost the next day. Unfortunately, I didn’t notice the attached invoice with the bank payment details and I phoned his landline 3 times to leave a message to ask for them before ringing his mobile and speaking to him. He said his voicemail was useless and always use the Mobile and he told me where to find the bank details. But for that, the Customer service would have been 5 stars.

We know Anthony from the time we were living in a rented flat in Ealing. We had a few drain blockages there and he had come to unblock them. Later when we moved to our home we had a similar drain block with our bathroom sink. Like previous instances, he unblocked it successfully. Recently we had a leak issue with the pipes underneath the kitchen sink. He replaced the pipes and the leak stopped. He also replaced a faulty washing machine inlet valve and replaced it with a new one. He is very professional, polite and helpful in examining and recommending different solutions to a problem. What impressed me the most about Anthony is his honesty. We had called him some months ago for some leak issues and he recommended us to try different ways to resolve the problems, for example, to get in touch with the company who did the job and ask them to replace the faulty part if it is within the warranty period and to pursue the contractor who did the faulty job and to be assertive with him to fix the issue. That was very nice of him to guide us in the right direction and not to take advantage of us. We really appreciate it.
