Gas Leak Repairs
I rent out a flat which had the gas supply shut off after the rental agent smelt gas during an inspection visit. The agent subsequently sent their preferred gas engineer to investigate at which point they advised a completely new gas supply pipe from the meter to the boiler would be required. I contacted CHAPS for a second opinion. They came the next day and were able to identify and fix a small leak at the boiler connection. They also returned next working day to replace a non-compliant gas hob connection at which point our tenants were able to access the property. Using CHAPS (rather than the letting agent provider) probably saved me a couple of thousand pounds in repair costs and avoided an insurance claim for finding tenants alternative accommodation. I’ve used CHAPS before and found them to be straightforward, knowledgeable and responsive - a rare combination.

Reliable, friendly and capable service over six years
I have been a customer of Chaps since 2018 when they did a boiler swap for us. They have attended annually for the service to keep the boilers running smoothly. Their recommendation of an Intergas boiler has been a good one with no breakdowns and a very quiet and responsive boiler. We had the more major service involving opening the combustion chamber done yesterday, all done very smoothly and cleanly. All our contact with Ian at Chaps has been quickly answered and a convenient appointment offered and kept with good time keeping and a relentless cheerfulness. Chaps has my recommendation, without hesitation.

Keston Gas Boiler Service
Due to configuration issues I have a Keston twin flue gas boiler in my property. These are not too common but Ian at CHAPS is very familiar with these systems and Keston as a brand. He advised me on how best to replace my old boiler last year (including securing a 7 year warrantee) resulting in them doing the installation work in Nov 2022. They have just been to complete the first annual service. In all cases communications have been good, work completed on time and care taken to keep the property is a clean condition.

John, Ian and Jamie did excellent work, making sure my mum was comfortable and happy. The care, communication, information and follow-up they provided was first rate.

Brilliant tenacious problem solving!
We had a leak in our underfloor heating and had contacted 6 plumbers all of whom replied with a curt email saying they couldn't fix underfloor heating (despite the fact they all install it) before we found CHAPS - thank god we did! Despite being very busy, Ian made time to come out, quickly identified the problem and a solution and was very tenacious in getting it fixed. He was extremely knowledgeable, abundantly practical and a total pleasure to interact with. Without him we'd still have no heating or hot water and a very wet floor. Can't recommend CHAPS enough!

He asked for as many details as I could give with regards to the job and system. I was very impressed with this as it showed his professionalism and genuine interest in the job. He was able to give me a quote based on this and we agreed a date and time for him to carry out the work. He contacted me again on the day to let me know he was on his way. When carrying out the service, Ian and his associate conducted themselves in a professional and friendly manner. They were very conscientious and thorough and did a very good job.

CHAPS replaced our 20+ year old system boiler with a combi boiler, moving the boiler to the attic in the process. Fixing numerous heating and plumbing problems that had arisen since the start of the year along the way. From the first estimation visit we felt in good hands, with a trust worthy and down-to-earth company looking to find solutions that are cost effective and tailored to our home. Great communication about progress through the job along with good analogies to explain issues that needed to be resolved, meant we understand our new heating system and why decisions were made. Friendly and respected the property (even the need to keep the lounge door shut to keep our cats safe) throughout. Estimate matched the work needed exactly and everything was completed on time. We have no hesitation in recommending CHAPS and will definitely be using them to service our heating system annually. It is so good to find a great plumber!

He fixed the problem and then made a further visit with me to go through what he had done. I will certainly use him in the future.

Quick and efficient
Arrived when he said he would and as I am shielding, I was a bit concerned at having someone in my house but I need not have - Ian was wearing PPE and respected the social distancing rule. He already had the fault codes and quickly found the problem - the pump would need to be replaced. He advised that if I agreed to the work, he would order it immediately and fit it once he received it. True to his word, he phoned me Friday morning and was here within 40 minutes. He was very efficient, fitted the pump and checked everything was working. He even tidied up after himself. Throughout the process he advised me of what needed to be done and the full costs. He was going to provide heaters if I needed them and made sure I was fine throughout. He was very helpful and professional and answered all my questions.

Efficient Servicing of Boilers
A Year has passed since Ian and John and their guys installed two new Intergas combi boilers in my home. They have performed flawlessly since install and so quiet compared to my our old boilers. Ian attended last week to so the service visit to maintain the guarantee. He appeared exactly on time, fully equipped and worked through the required tests and provided a comprehensive written report showing the boilers both functioning correctly. All good and I have a reminder in my calendar for next March.

Couldn't get old-style Baxi Bermuda boiler working
I couldn't get my old Baxi Bermuda boiler working so I emailed CHAPS. John got back quickly, answered questions and gave rough guestimates of problem and prices based on my description. He was available at short notice (offered next day or following week), arrived at arranged time and got the boiler working straight away (I'd probably done something silly ...). He stayed to check hot water and heating was working. He did admit to not having a radiator bleed key with him but I had one, and it wasn't necessary, anyway. Since no maintenance was actually required he offered a discount on the original call-out charge and asked me to leave feedback (I've used the links he sent me afterwards via email to leave this). The whole visit took about half an hour. I found John to be friendly, no-nonsense, and straight to the point: as soon as he arrived he got down to working on the boiler. I'd also had a problem even getting the pilot light lit, which he managed first time and gave me some tips. All my communication with John was via email, which suited me fine. In general he replied very quickly, often within an hour. On one occasion (out of >10 emails) I did prompt him for confirmation but it wasn't a problem. I didn't try communicating via phone. John also sent an email after to check if things were still working OK. With the caveat that no maintenance was actually carried out I can say I was happy with the service and would use John / CHAPS again.

Installation of new boiler
This was quite a complicated piece of work. The installation of the new boiler included some roof work as the new flue had to be repositioned through the polycarbonate ceiling in the sun lounge extension of a mid terraced house with similar extensions on the adjoining properties in such a way that it complied with current gas regulations. It also involved guiding a condensate pipe under the floorboards of the kitchen to bring the installation up to current standards. Because the firm was able to do the roof work as well as the gas work, something that none of the other firms which provided quotes were able to do, this made the entire experience for me hassle free. All aspects of the procedure were clearly explained to me and their knowledge, skill and years of experience were obvious and greatly appreciated. The firm came to my knowledge by personal recommendation and I would have no hesitation in making similar recommendations.

Successful double Intergas Boiler install
I am very happy to provide CHAPS Heating with a five star review. They've just done a double boiler swap in our old house and were prompt in coming round to look at the job, knowledgeable about the Intergas boilers we were hoping to fit and more than experienced enough to have ready solutions for all of the issues that would arise from migrating from our old boilers to these new condensing boilers. The installation went very smoothly and the installation very neat. Ian and John and their plumbers were all friendly, polite and careful and anxious to make sure that I was happy with routes for pipes and the position of components. Having completed the installation 10 days ago, Ian returned to make sure I was happy with how everything was going and make some final adjustments and chemicalise the systems and pass over the warranty paperwork. So far I've been delighted with the Intergas boilers - super quiet and with quick heating and excellent hot water flow. What could have been a pretty traumatic experience has all gone according to plan thanks to CHAPS Heating and I look forward to their annual service visits over the coming years.

Very accommodating - very professional
I have used CHAPS before and had no hesitation in using them for the Scottsih Arts Club which needed to have a sink installed in a studio a long way from any services. They installed metres or pipework, a maceratot pump and a small neat Belfast sink. They also had to arrange for electricity to be routed to the sink to provide power. The technical challenges were significant, but on top of that tehy worked round our need to keep the studio working, and arranged to come back on three Mondays when we were closed rather than working for three consecutive days. Although this must have involved some extra planning, and perhaps some extra costs, no extra charge was made. The CHAPS staff were unfailingly polite and obliging, and the standard of work was impeccable.

This was followed up with a comprehensive estimate a day later. He knows his business. The team came on the appointed day to remove the old boiler and install the new one. The work took 2 full days and John (father of Ian) explained how the control system operated and the various features. Snagging was completed a few days later. The team did not make much mess and the pipework looks neat and tidy to my eye. The price quoted was competitive. I am happy to recommended CHAPS

Fantastic company - great attitude and totally professional
I've had the pleasure of using Ian as well as his father for various issues I've had with my boiler/heating system, as well as standard events like boiler servicing. I've been absolutely delighted with both the service I've received as well as the costs being extremely reasonable. His family company is the only one I would turn to when I have any kind of boiler/heating work needing done - as one example, I recently had a 3 way valve that needed replacing, which became more tricky than originally thought (mainly due to a water hammer issue) and he (and his father) worked on the issue over many visits, trying three different valves - and insisted ultimately on sticking to the exact original price they had quoted for the job. You really get the feeling that both Ian and his father genuinely take pride in completing a job, and that the customer is left happy. They are both extremely knowledgeable and you get the impression that what they don't know between them on boilers/heating systems really isn't worth knowing. On top of that you won't find a nicer pair of guys running a business like this. If you're reading this review because you have an issue and don't know who to trust - just contact Ian and be reassured you're in the best possible hands.

Prompt, professional and enthusiastic
Ian serviced our boiler and unvented cylinder very efficiently and at quite short notice and in the process told us a lot about our system that we had not previously understood. Nice to meet someone who takes such a genuine interest in their work. Highly recommended. Richard

Recommmended Gas service Engineer
The job went as they said with no issues and they even went beyond what was required to ensure that we were satisfied with their work. They were very easy and extremely pleasant to deal with and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Wouldn't use any other plumber
One of our radiators had started to leak just before we were going on holiday. Ian fixed the radiator in no time. I've used CHAPS for a number of jobs, big and small, over the past few years and wouldn't use any other plumber. Efficient, friendly and always a reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Prompt and professional
On Fri 30th June, Ian Chapman replied to an emergency plumber to find and fix an open leak on central heating in my flat. Early next day a member of his staff attended and carefully lifted plywood covered planked floor. After 3 hrs, the leak was found and repaired restoring system. The plumber made good the flooring, leaving an area to dry out the property.

Happy to recommend Chaps
Chaps serviced a boiler in a let flat, and prepared a gas certificate for us. When a problem was discovered with the control panel, they obtained the necessary parts and completed the job very promptly.

Excellent in every way!
We required a new thermostatic mixer for the shower unit. Ian Chapman supplied us with a very reasonable quote and 3 days later when the part arrived had it fitted. He kept in touch with us throughout and even sent texts with the progress of the fitment along with photographs of the completed work. Very impressed and would definitely recommend.
