Repair to leaking toilet
Customer Service
Quality
Value
A date was arranged a couple of days ahead. I was informed of the costs involved. Arrived promptly at prearranged time. Phil explained that he didn't have a part appropriate to the toilet & had to go to a plumber's merchant. He offered an estimate of the cost of parts before going. All work was completed, having explained what work had been done & tested. It was done cleanly, with all fittings replaced. Footwear was removed from my door. I was very pleased once again with Bumfords' service.

Water leaking through Kitchen ceiling
Customer Service

After taking a shower we noticed water coming through kitchen ceiling, I immediately rang Bumfords as they had done work for me previously, within the hour Phil was sent out and diagnosed that water was seeping through the tile grouting after discussing various options we decided to line the shower and put a larger shower tray in . To make sure we had a shower before work commenced, Phil lined the shower with black bags to stop the link. Robin came out to measure and discussed all options, I received an estimate. Monday 21st July, Phil and Joe turned up and started work - they did an excellent job, we were so pleased. They left the house spotless and I can't praise them high enough. I will always use and recommend Bumfords.

We have been using Bumford heating for years with no problems and was pleasantly surprised to find that they still had our personal details on record. This time we had a boiler change, all new radiators and full system flush. The job was quoted and scheduled by Robin Bumford and over a 4 day period carried out by Mathew and another colleague. The guys were clean, tidy, fun to have around the house and a credit to Bumfords. From initial contact to completion, we are very satisfied and beleive Bumford heating to be highly recommendable.

A truly reliable company. I have had new combi boiler installed by them. 2020. Serviced every year. Leak under extension caused by builders negligence. 2020. 2024 new shower cubicle. 2025 leak from shower waste they did not fit. New kitchen radiator. Never let you down. If urgent they come the same day. If not next day. Always someone manning the phones

The work was done efficiently and to agreed dates and prices. When there was a delay because Worcester Bosch did not have the items required I was offered alternatives to start without delays. I had researched different manufacturers and decided to stay with my first choice so the delay was technically down to my choice. When the work started Bumfords recognised that my disabled son and wife were stressed by the work going on around them so laid on extra resources to minimise disruption and worked around their needs The work was completely quickly and tidily and cools the rooms down quickly even on the hottest day of the year and is more economical than I expected too. I was very pleased with politeness of the installers and the finished installation. I heartily recommend them.

Bumfords recently relocated our boiler, washing machine, and tumble dryer from our kitchen/utility to our garage. They did an absolutely fantastic job to an incredibly high standard. The job required a good deal of new pipework throughout the house, which they completed with the minimum of disruption. The team was very clean and tidy, and pleasant to have in the house. We couldn’t have been more satisfied with the outcome. They also installed a manifold for underfloor heating…they will be returning later in the year to fit this after we have completed some internal renovations. The communication with Robin and the lead engineer (Phil) was also excellent. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough!

Had an annual gas safety and boiler check done for a new property which unfortunately failed. The Bumfords team rapidly worked through what the best options would be and provided a competitive quote very quickly. Within the week the new energy efficient boiler was installed and the system cleaned and checked. Great team, very professional and superb customer support.

Recently had a replacement boiler installed by Bumfords and the service from start to finish was exceptional. From surveying the job initially, through the installation and instruction at the end they were first class. Phil and Joe did the work and were friendly, helpful and professional throughout. The work they did was very high quality. They are a credit to the company. The next time I need plumbing and/or heating services I will 100% use this company. They are fantastic. Don’t hesitate to contact them if you’re looking for excellent plumbing and heating services carried out in a professional manner.
