Great job from Robin, Matt and Jack. We now enjoy a warm house with lots of hot water on this cold dark winter day. I have many contractors on my books but I now put Bumfords up at the top of that list. Your patience and perseverance to get my system working is an absolute credit to you all. Congratulations to you all; what a great team!

We needed a really old gas central heating boiler to be replaced. We knew that certain sections of lead piping would need to be removed, replaced and re-joined to existing gas appliances and that the job was not straightforward. We had a very positive recommendation from one of our neighbours who had employed Bumfords previously. A surveyor visited within 2 days of contact, viewed our existing heating system and discussed our requirements. We received a quote within 48 hrs, which we accepted. Work could not start for 8 weeks (reassuringly busy?) but the guys arrived on the due date and completed the work in the estimated time. The workmen were excellent in their expertise of plumbing, plastering, electricals and stone masonry! Really efficient solutions were found regarding the re-piping and electrical works which meant that virtually no cosmetic damage to the house occurred. At the end of each day, work areas were left clean and tidy. We were given a run-through with help and recommendations on how to operate the system most efficiently. We are happy to recommend Bumfords to others.

We had a new boiler fitted plus a new electric fire instead of our current gas fire. The engineers turned up on time stated each of the three mornings and worked constantly informing us of what they were doing each day. The worked carried out was done professionally and the place left clean and tidy . We were instructed on how to use the boiler, thermostat and fire and all instruction booklets left with us. Throughout the three days both engineers were very friendly going out of their way to make sure we were comfortable whilst they worked. Prior to the work going ahead the assessment visit explained fully what was required and a quote issued along with appointment date made within two weeks. We would certainly recommend this company.

Power Flushing clean in and out......

After a long visit to Aussie, on return the boiler tripped out due to flow and a full service and recommission of the boiler solved nothing ........ From the 1st call to Bumfords to arrange the planned date for the flushing to the payment of the power flush of our central heating, nothing was too much trouble especially Matt the guy that spent the best part of the day sorting out issues with the system which had been instigated by some " plumber" from years ago. The boiler is operating as it should, and heating all sorted out and to be honest we will recoup the cost of the flush by saving gas as the boiler is operating only half the time it was before. Although Matt was all over the house he was clean and polite and explained why he was doing certain certain things and showing us the crap that was in the system , even though it had inhibitor in it ? Thanks Bumfords and Matt

Bumford’s came and assessed for the old central heating boiler and water tank to be removed and new combi boiler and radiators to be installed. Alex was excellent in offering a variety of different options we could have, and we agreed for the work to take place. Alex organised everything and kept us informed throughout prior to the works taking place. Matt and Jack were very prompt on the 1st day, and the work they carried out was excellent in both the quality of their work and also the cleanliness of their work in order to minimise disruption to us. Richard then came and completed the electrical work again to a very high standard. We are extremely happy with all the works that Bumfords carried out and the excellent communication we received from the whole Bumfords team. Many thanks.

20 Years Servicing and then a Replacement Boiler

We moved to South Hiendley in 2003 and chose Bumford's to replace a fire-back boiler on the basis of sensible advice plus a competitive quote from a local company. We contracted with them for an annual service and speedy call out when needed. They provided a very good service for twenty years at a very reasonable price. Recently we decided to replace our boiler which had "played up" a number of times over the past year. We again opted for a Worcester Bosch boiler from Bumford's after taking advice from Alex and for a lower quote than others contacted. The work was done to our complete satisfaction over one and a half days by Matt and Jack.

Everyone at Bumfords was efficient and helpful as always. As soon as it was realised the boiler had to be replaced a quote was given and the date established for the fitting of the new boiler. We were kept informed and the new boiler was in place and commissioned within the week. We have used Bumford’s for over ten years and they have always performed well and been outstanding in taking account of the clients needs.

We've just had our old boiler & downstairs toilet replaced by Bumfords & would highly recommend them. From the first call to book an appointment for a quote, to the job being completed we can't praise them enough. All our questions regarding the quote etc were answered promptly & a couple of days prior to the start day we received a text message to say they would be with us at 8.30am. Matt arrived on time & did an excellent job, he was friendly & patiently answered any questions we had, he was very tidy & cleared up before leaving each day, the electrician & plasterer both arrived on schedule too so the whole job was completed in the time they had said it would be, with no delays waiting for different trades to arrive. The new boiler is much quieter then the old one & the radiators seem to get hot a lot quicker than before so overall we're very happy & will definitely use them again for any future work.
