We have had cause to use Bumfords a few times over the last 3 months - partly to sort out problems (not with anything they had installed!) and also to rearrange some underfloor heating as part of a bathroom rebuild. They always turned up on time, did the job very well, planned the next part of the project (which we hadn't thought about) and also on occasion bailed us out when the heating had failed completely due to a leak (again, not caused by them!) Highly recommended.

I always choose Bumford's for our annual boiler and Tribune cylinder service. The staff are extremely easy to deal with and their engineers are prompt, efficient and thorough. I feel satisfied that I’ve received a good service at a reasonable price and intend to rebook in 2026. In the meantime I’d recommend Bumford’s to anyone requiring similar work.

As usual, I asked Bumfords to carry out the annual service on my gas boiler. It was easy to arrange a convenient appointment by chatting to Beth over the phone. Phil, the engineer who carried out the work this year, arrived on time and was thorough, efficient, friendly and tidy. It's clear that he is experienced and knows his work well. This is always the case with Bumford's engineers - they are realiable, I trust them to do the job well, and they do. I have been relying on Bumford's for more than 10 years now and will continue to do so.

Controls Upgrade
We have an unusual system so when we needed to up grade our controls for a remote access not every tradesman could offer a solution. Fortunately I found Bumfords who worked hard to find a solution for us. We now have remote access and independent control of all 13 zones. The installation went smoothly and all the individuals involved helped to deliver a great solution. Well done Bumfords.

New heating controls - good quality service

We had new heating controls fitted to replace our outdated ones. Bumfords provided advice on the best type for our needs. They removed our old heating controls, serviced our boiler and fitted the Hive system. We received a quote and cost. The work was carried out as agreed to both time and price. We were provided with clear information on how to use the Hive system. Bumfords were very helpful, good at responding and answering all our questions and providing advice. A professional service, with good customer service and a good price. I would recommend Bumfords and use them again.

I noticed that my hot water cylinder was leaking and called up Bumfords on Monday morning. They said that they would have a slot available on Thursday, but they might try to move it up to Wednesday if possible. About an hour later, they called to say that they could come and look at it the same day! The engineers who came round were lovely, very clearly explained the fault and what work was needed without being at all patronising, which, as a woman, I really appreciated. I then got a clear quote for the work, which I was happy with. A little while later, they had managed to secure the part and returned to complete the work! I highly recommend Bumfords and will be returning to them for all my heating/plumbing needs in the future.
