Bumford's engineer, Craig, arrived at agreed time and completed whole job in a timely manner. A key factor on this was to do the job without draining down the system (open vent system with h/w cylinder). Did this very efficiently, with no mess at all. Would highly recommend.

New Worcester 12RI boiler

My new boiler was fitted yesterday. I have used Bumford Heating to service my boilers for over 20 years. As I needed the boiler replacing I didn’t shop around, I just contacted Bumford. Alex visited my house and discussed which boiler would be suitable. Yesterday morning Phil arrived at 8 am to commence the work. He was very polite and efficient. The work was completed in one day as I was told it could take up to two days. The outside work looks wonderful as I was concerned that it wouldn’t be as neat as it was formally. I should not have worried. I didn’t even have to sweep the drive etc. Both inside and outside were left clean and tidy. I have no hesitation to recommend this company.

New combination boiler

New combination boiler required new copper pipe upgrade. This was a bigger job than just installing a boiler. They did a very careful job of installing the new pipe work on the outside of the house taking on board my requests as to how it should look and not stand out too much. They kept to schedule and cleaned up after themselves. They were though beforehand in the discussion around which boiler would best suit us. They were professional and would not shy away from explaining that regulations specified that a larger diameter gas pipe was needed. Other companies did not tell us about this.

Bumfords fitted an unvented cylinder system and removed my old system including the water tank in the loft. The work was carried out with care and precision. Attention to small detail and leaving everything clean and tidy was excellent. I received excellent advice beforehand and the new system is delivering everything promised.

My old back boiler needed replacing and I wanted the new one to be fitted in a cupboard in my bathroom. First time I've used Bumfords, from beginning to end, a most professional service, which means it won't be the last. The guys where great, nothing too much trouble. Great team, great work. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you.

New oil fired boiler supplied and fitted
Customer Service
Quality

I needed to replace my existing oil boiler and Bumfords were local with a good reputation. Robin Bumford came and completed a site survey alone with a very competitive quote. Prior to this Robin returned with the engineer Phil Romans and discussed the installation. On the day of the installation, phil removed and disposed of my old oil boiler and fitted a brand new Worcester Bosch. Only when he fired it up did he find fault with the boiler - this was not his fault but immediately contacted Worcester Bosch and an engineer came and replaced the part free of charge immediately. I would have no hesitation I'm recommending Bumfords heating and both Robin and Phil did and excellent installation at a very competitive price - compared to other local companies.

Very professional service from first phone call to completing the work. Everyone was very helpful in sorting out the problem and delivering a solution. We had a new hot unvented water system installed. Very responsive to first phone call and assessing the work. A clear quote and agreed installation date. Explained the installation, how to use and future maintenance. Kept disruption to a minimum and cleared away as went along. Completed installation to schedule and price. Excellent quality job. Will definitely use again.

Bumfords provide an excellent service and their work is always done to a great standard. I have used them for a complete bathroom installation, install of new gas boiler and then today install of new taps, radiator and shower screen. They are a great company and I would highly recommend. Five stars.

Dependable company

After reading all the reviews we engaged Bumfords for the first time to replace our central heating boiler and a radiator. This work was carried out to our total satisfaction. We recently engaged them again on a much smaller plumbing requirement to which Alex responded with the usual eagerness to assist we have found with all the people we have dealt with at Bumfords. It follows therefore that we have no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone looking for a dependable company to carry out the services they provide.

We are undertaking a major refurbishment of our home and I wished to appoint one trustworthy company to fulfil all our plumbing and heating requirements. Several people recommended Bumfords to me and I have not been disappointed. Phase one of the works was completed last week and involved installation of a new en-suite shower room, new gas boiler and various other plumbing and heating works. Specialist asbestos removal was also required and facilitated by Bumfords. The shower room was a particularly challenging project, due to pre-existing house design and build features, which Bumfords overcame and resolved, with stunning results. There were a couple of hiccups along the way, mainly due to supply chain issues. Bumford speedily resolved the problems and brought the project back on track. Our project manager, has been exemplary, running the project to military precision and keeping us fully informed along the way. Those working in our home have been equally professional and helpful, delivering quality workmanship, advice and guidance, as well as rapidly accommodating our changing and evolving requirements. Phase two of our works programme is due to commence shortly. This involves gas fire installation and a new bathroom. The bathroom will also be challenging, due to similar design issues already encountered with the shower room, where Bumfords took on the challenges with aplomb. We look forward to welcoming Bumfords back into our home to undertake Phase two.
