Very good job of fitting Air conditioning. The team happily worked round the needs of my handicapped son and my wife.

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.

Emergency gas boiler repair

Our Condensate pipe had frozen. We did not realise that was the problem as it had not happened to us before and the Bosch Error code said Gas supply issue seek assistance! An emergency engineer came out to us on the coldest night for 4 years, so early in the morning arriving at 7-20 am. It was difficult for him with the icy roads and pavements. He was so helpful and cheerful for that time in the morning. We were so grateful that we were not freezing for the weekend. Excellent service from Bumfords as always.

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.
