New Boiler and hot water cylinder installed. Job very well done, always here when he said he would be and always picks up the phone if there are questions (which there always are when a new system is installed). The boiler which was recommended and installed was a "VIESSMANN" and we are very happy with it.

Tony came round to fix an old tap that had seized up. I had had another plumber round the previous week to do the same job and it had gone again after just a couple of days. Tony has got it working perfectly again and I would not hesitate to recommend his efficient and prompt service. I will certainly be using him again in the future.

Based on the large number of other favourable recommendations on this site, I called Tony this morning when I discovered I had no hot water and no idea what the problem was! Tony arranged to call after 5pm, which was very convenient as I work on the other side of London - so no time missed in order to sit in and wait. He came on time and fixed the problem (replaced a valve) then and there - so no delay while parts were sourced. He explained everything that he was doing and did as he promised. Although I have no alternate quotes for the work completed, I thought it was extremely good value for money, given his prompt response and the immediate result and of course, I now have my hot water restored! I would highly recommend him. Indeed, I have made arrangements for Tony to return to fix some other nagging plumbing issues which although not critical, I have every confidence he can assist with.

Section of soil pipe to the rear of our house needed replacing due to hole / leak. Anthony's diagnosis of the problem was accurate and he clearly outlined two possible scenarios 1)straightforwrard replacement 2) more complex operation in the event that there was insufficient original pipe length available to attach replacement pipe to. Fortunately he was able to complete soltution 1 - a quicker, less disruptive and less costly option. Excellent service and very polite manner - would definitely recommend to others.

Boiler would not light up. Called Tony after reading the Which Local recommendations. Found him discreet, professionnal and reliable. No doubt in my mind that he his well skilled but I agree with other members I thought he was expensive. As others said, I do not know how much other pumbers would have charged for the same job though.

Our old boiler was leaking and needed replacing and Tony of Bourne Plumbing and Heating came to our rescue. He installed a Viessmann 26 kw combination boiler, fitted a new flue and made good the outside wall. He turned up when he said he would and was polite, professional and efficient. Tony even took off the roof of our cat enclosure to fit the flue and replaced it afterwards. He used dust sheets, cleaned up after himself and took away all the rubbish. All this took place with the minimum fuss or disturbance. Not the cheapest, but would definitely use again.

Tony has been to our house twice, initially to diagnose and repair a problem with our gas central heating boiler, and secondly to replace a faulty valve on the system, install a new immersion heater and do a routine service on the boiler. On both occasions he has arrived promptly, carried out the work efficiently and been pleasant and courteous to deal with. Along with his many other customers, I can happily recommend him

We have just had a new boiler installed, and were pleased with the advice and efficient work that we received from Bourne Plumbing. We were given plenty of support and patience during the process of considering what kind of system and boiler to have, changing from a conventional boiler and hot water tank, to a combi boiler. The boiler recommended and installed is a Veissmann, a German make that is not in the Which reviews, but has been strongly advised. The estimate given was very competitive, and cheaper than the national provider. We were very satisfied with the speed and professionalism of the work done over a period of 2 days, left with hot water overnight, and cleaning was done during and at the end of the job.

Tony is a real find. He replumbed our house which involved replacing all piping and radiators, moving the boiler, installing a megaflow system, taking pipes up into the attic to anticipate a future loft conversion and fitting a toilet, bath and shower. Although a big job Tony's estimate was reasonable and he stuck to it. He was very tidy and all work was done within the predicted timeframe. I've since had other workmen comment on the high quality of his work. Tony should be the first and only plumber you call.

I contacted Bourne Plumbing early this year to advise on a central heating system in which a new boiler was installed two years ago by a different plumber, and which since then had never worked reliably. Tony advised and quoted promptly for a powerflush. Because he was very busy with other work I had to wait several months for this to be done; however when he came he carried the work out fast and efficiently, and also reported on other aspects of the system which were probably contributing to its poor performance. He supplied a quote for remedial work, which I acccepted, and once again carried out the work courteously and efficiently. When the boiler still failed to work properly he came promptly and fitted a new part; when the problem recurred he came promptly, found and rectified a problem with the exterior pipework. Since then the system has been working fine. I found Tony courteous, efficient, knowledgeable, skilled and highly intelligent; he diagnosed and rectified a number of problems in a heating system originally installed over 30 years ago and modified several times since then. I would recommend him without reservation.

As Anthony Bourne is good, his job list meant we had to wait a while between quote and the work being done, however the communication (phone, email, text) was excellent throughout, and we were happy/prepared to wait. He came in and did the jobs with minimum fuss. He identified other problems so we could make informed decisions about what we were prepared to pay for i.e. pointed out the insufficient size of pipes for our radiators prior to us laying a floating floor. (We chose to leave the status quo). Offered advice on water flow problems and variety of potential solutions for us to explore with pro's and con's. Extremely tidy. Did what he said, and when he said he would do it. Fixed previous plumbers failure. Came back for the 2nd part in a very reasonable time period so the job didn't linger. Professional estimate and payment on invoice after the job. Professional throughout.

We needed our gas hob decommissioned to install a new induction hob. We found Tony via the Which Local + the Gas Safe register. He was also recommended by the electrician we had booked to fit the new hob. Other installers we contacted were not interested by such a small job. Tony arranged to come the evening before our old hob was decommissioned to minimise disruption. He came on time, did a good job and the price was reasonable. Would recommend him anytime.

Having picked out Bourne Plumbing, to replace my gas fired boiler, from Which Local recommendations, I was not disappointed. Anthony came on the agreed date and alloted time and set to removing my old boiler. With hardly a break, but numerous cups of tea, he worked from 8am until 7pm each day until the job was completed.Once finished everything was tidied up and the rubbish removed. The finished installation was more than satisfactory and I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Tony is a star. I needed my boiler moving floors & replacing. Tony was one of a number of people I discussed the job with. Although he was not the cheapest he listened to what I wanted, presented me with a couple of options and make a recommendation. He started the job when agreed and kept me in the loop with regards to his progress on a daily basis. When leaving for the day he made the place in which he was working safe and cleaned up all the mess made. He is a professional and an all round nice person. I highly recommend him.

I received excellent service from Tony when I had to have some pipework done so that my gas could be turned back on again. A Vaillant engineer was 'fixing' a water leak in my boiler when he noticed a problem with the gas pipe and immediately switched off the gas. No heating, no hot water, no cooking, nobody to turn to. In a panic I turned to Which Local and saw the recommendations for Tony and I can say they are all spot on. He couldn't make it on the day but turned up at 07:30 the next morning, changed the pipe and turned on the gas. No fuss, no time wasting, no mess, he had all the tools and was very friendly. I also thought he was good value for what he charged. I would thoroughly recommend him.

My tenant reported that the bathroom toilet was broken and leaking into the floor in early December. My letting agent sent their plumber around and he did a fix that did not resolve the problem. I then called in British Gas / Dynorod who did a similarly poor repair. Neither advised me of the full extent of the damage, which had permeated the floorboards by this time. With Christmas fast approaching and an increasingly agitated tenant I found Tony's details on Which Local. Once we established contact with the tenant Tony went to look at the problem and prepared a written quote within 24 hours to replace the loo, check the floorboards and replace the lino. Once I gave the go-ahead Tony arranged to carry out the repairs at the tenant's convenience and completed the work in good time for the Christmas break. I particularly liked the fact that Tony called when he said he would, kept me in the loop as the job progressed and completed the job on-time and within his quoted price. I will be calling Tony again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend his work.

I called Tony to fix a leak from the toilet overflow on behalf of my 83yr old mother who was worried that the pipes would freeze if the weather turned icy. Tony came at the agreed time, closed the water supply, removed and replaced the faulty parts and as requested put in a valve so that in future the water to the toilet can be turned off in the bathroom. Tony was polite, had listened to what I had told him over the phone and so had all the parts with him, got on with the job and fixed the problem. Mum's peace of mind restored, thank you.

I found Anthony of Bourne Plumbing and Heating on my 'Which Local' website. I chose him due to the amount of positive reviews regarding his work. I have to say I wasn't disappointed! It was discovered there was a fault with my existing central heating system and a leak on the boiler (past economical repair). Anthony turned up on time for the installation of my new boiler, he started work as agreed and left my house clean and tidy, with all in working order. I chose the Viessmann boiler on Anthony's recommendation and am very pleased with his choice. My central heating system has now been upgraded to current standards. I would definitely have no hesitation in recommending him not only on this site, but also to my friends and family as well.

I have used Tony for over 8 years now. It was by luck that I found out about him after British Gas had installed a Central heating system for my mother. The system caused problems within months of installation and none of the BG homecare engineers seemed willing or could solve the problem. Tony was due to refurbish my mother's bathroom and was thus able to get a closer look at their work. Pipes around the boiler had not been connected correctly by British Gas and were leaking. This caused damage to the kitchen ceiling. Tony also pointed out that British Gas had charged for work/materials not carried out which amounted to around £1500. This was a very stressful time for me so Tony prepared a report which I was able to submit to BG and claim for compensation and damages. Just last month their were new problems with the same system which BG homecare engineers didnt put right. Tony replaced pipework, replaced an insufficient immersion heater in the cylinder tank and power flushed the system. I cannot praise Tony enough. He is a honest, polite and hard working professional and I believe that his expertise in heating/boiler systems makes him one of the best in the field. Tony has also carried out other plumbing work for my family to a high standard. I only wish I had known about him earlier.

Quick, effective and friendly. Came when he said he would (sooner than we expected) to install a new tap, move our washing machine connections, etc. We have to report that he got the latter back the wrong way round, but I'm sure he'd have rushed to correct it if I hadn't done it myself. Not cheap, but took much less time than we'd expected, so good value, and we'll certainly ask him again.
