I have dealt with Brightside Heating Services for several years and have always found them reliable, providing a high level of service. The level of expertise demonstrated by their engineers has always been first class; they are friendly, respectful and careful around the house. As my wife and I are both in our eighties, this is much appreciated. The engineers always take care with their work and always tidy up after completion. The company is easy to contact, with a friendly and helpful reception team.

We have used Brightside Heating Services ever since becoming fed up with British Gas some years ago. They carry out an annual service on our Worcester boiler and a Gazco room heater. Often they call well in advance to arrange a date for the service; this time I got to call them first. The service is always completed within an hour. The usual engineer who calls knows our system very well. Communication is always excellent. This time a different engineer carried out the service and he was as attentive to detail and kept us informed. I can't recommend this company highly enough.

Brightside have been servicing our hot water tank since 2018. They are always reliable, helpful and cheerful. I usually ask them to give our hot water tank an annual check-up and service. They appear when they say they will and carry out the work efficiently, according to the schedule and on budget, noticing things that need doing and getting them done. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to family and friends.

I always receive a call to advise my central heating boiler is due for its annual service. I agreed to a service after being advised of cost plus VAT, a convenient time, date and the name of the engineer. Paul always protects my working surfaces. is a tidy and clean worker. He asked if I had experienced any problems with the boiler or system since the last service. He carried out several operation tests and checks with boiler working. All results were listed on the Maintenance/ Service Check List. At the conclusion of the service Paul ensured the are of the test was clean and the boiler returned to its pre-test condition.

Home emergency insurance claim through insurers to locate and repair leak

We had an emergency cover plan from our insurers and after discovering leaking water they referred us to Brightside. The initial contact from the Brightside office was immediate, polite and helpful. We were delighted that the plumber came out this morning promptly as promised. Rob was polite and informative as discussed next steps as he investigated the source of the leak. Rob diagnosed and fixed the leak and provided more long term advice to reduce the risk of further issues in years to come. So impressed were we that we are that we are going to use Brightside for our next service and for the future works. I recommend Brightside.

My unvented cylinder which powers hot water sprang a leak and my home insurance referred me to Brightside. (And as in their name) Bright and early, plumber Mark: A most pleasant, and low maintenance professional, arrived to sort out and sure up the leak. Further dealings with Brightside on the phone, regarding a possible new cylinder replacement, I received a most informative chat with Gary in the office. He spent a significant amount of time with me outlining my options. Great stuff, Brightside 👌

I have used the trader for a number of years for servicing, they are always on time, always do a good job, all good people, who are brilliant to talk to and helpful with questions. They usually give me a call when servicing is due to make sure it doesn't get missed. They let you know when they are on their way and I'm also happy with the price.

Brightside Heating Services Ltd were sent by my insurance company to investigate an issue with my boiler. They identified the problem and an additional defect. They fixed the initial problem under my insurance and the second defect privately. They clearly explained the issues to me and what was needed to correct them. My boiler has been working perfectly since then. I will use them in future for any private work I need.

Office staff were very friendly and everything they said would happen did happen. The nice man, Paul, turned up to service my boiler and check the heating system. He even managed to bleed a “self bleeding valve” on a radiator that the previous company I had a contract with said needed replacing. After 7 years it is actually working as it should. Was very fast but thorough. He reset some workings on the boiler so everything is fine for another year. Meanwhile if I do have any problems I now have a maintenance contract with them. If they send Paul again I know we are in good hands. It is a LPG boiler and he obviously knows his trade.

I have been on a yearly service contract with Brightside for years, I cannot fault them. I had to call them out for a boiler problem on the 14th March I spoke to Gary (the Boss) the next day Sam arrived and fixed it. I was very impressed. All Gary’s team over the years of maintaining my boiler have been excellent.

Radiator leak

Was contacted by Brightside after contacting home insurance regarding a radiator leak on Friday evening. Received phone call early on Saturday and arranged for the plumber to call on Sunday, which was the earliest convenient time for me. On Sunday morning received a call from Mark, the plumber, to say he would be with me in 45 minutes. Arrived on time, checked the radiator and said faulty valve. Replaced the valve, bled all the other radiators in the house, checked the boiler and the central heating was working. Mark was knowledgeable, friendly and very efficient . Could not rate the service I received from Brightside highly enough.
