Boiler Replacement

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Repair to leaking toilet

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
