Will not be using again!
I found Anthony on Which? Trusted Traders and contacted him in relation to a leak in our toilet, but was disappointed in the services I received. It took him over a month to repair the leak after his initial visit. During this period, I had to chase several times for updates, with many unreturned phones calls and e-mails. The quality of the work (when I eventually managed to get an appointment) was good, and he left the work area clean, but it’s simply not worth the hassle. Unfortunately, I will not be using his services in the future, and I would not recommend him to anyone.

Fast response
I used Bourne Plumbing earlier this year - excellent fast response and very polite and helpful. However before any big job, I would check in advance what he charges - especially for spare parts. I was shocked when the invoice came and double checked with a local plumbers' merchants - there had a been a 250% mark up. This was especially galling as one of the jobs had been incorrectly diagnosed and both the labour and expensive spare part did not fix the problem.

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.

Anthony Sawczuk (Bourne plumbing & heating) replaced my old system boiler with a new combi Viessmann boiler. He did an excellent job, was very professional throughout and completed the whole job in 3 days. He also lent us some electric heaters whilst our old boiler was out of service. He recommended the Viessmann boiler, I hadn't heard of them but after talking to Anthony and doing my own research I agreed with his verdict; working very well so far and has better warranties than other brands I knew of. Overall, I highly recommend Anthony's work.æ

Anthony has done a number of jobs at our property (fixing a boiler, replacing taps, removing a lead pipe, installing gas heating etc). Despite being busy, he was able to turn up at short notice (and arrived on time for pre-arranged appointments) and carried out the work efficiently and at a fair price. Would recommend him to anyone and will continue using him myself.

New Boiler
Anthony has carried out work for me on two previous occasions. This time I need a new boiler fitted. Anthony provided me with comprehensive specifications, with estimates, for the two main options which he proposed. He carried out the installation efficiently, giving me clear instructions on how the new system would work. I am very satisfied with the result.

He explained what he was doing and alerted us to the fact that because of the design of the tap the same problem was likely to happen again. Would use him again and have recommended him to friends.

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.

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.

Sorted!
Following a gas leak from our cooker hob, and disconnection of the damaged gas pipe, Anthony came to assess the job and (following some some adjustments to the cooker cabinetry which had to be carried out by a carpenter that he recommended) came back to reconnect the gas supply which he did efficiently and without mess or upheaval. I would be very happy to call him again in the future if we have any plumbing or heating issues. I have yet to receive his bill so am not really able to comment reliably on his value for money.
