Charles is someone who gives you confidence in the work he does. He serviced my Viessmann condensing boiler for the first time, found some left-over problems from the previous service & resolved them. Glad I found him. plus his charges are very reasonable, compared with some! Highly recommended.

Efficient boiler installation

I contracted Charles Bickham Plumbing & Heating to remove an old boiler from the kitchen of the house I recently moved into, which didn't work, and to install a new combi condensing boiler in the downstairs loo. This involved removing the old boiler and immersion heater, pipes, wiring and the flue, before fitting the new boiler. The existing radiators and pipes were all flushed through and descaled and the tanks in the loft were drained. Jack worked tirelessly by himself on the first day and was joined by Fred on day two. I was surprised at how many skills they had, including plumbing, wiring, pipe work, installing electric sockets, gas fitting, carpentry, and cleaning up after themselves as they went along. They consulted with me about where I wanted things to go, patiently answered all my questions, and even made a special trip to the builder's yard to try and find a particular brick to replace the hole left after removing the old external flue. Charles, the company owner, arrived in the early evening to check the installation, and tried to explain the app which controls the boiler system to me, which is a work in progress. However, he is able to log on to the app and keep an eye on how the system is operating, which is reassuring. He has also answered my post-installation queries promptly. Charles is a very enthusiastic champion of Viessman boilers. I was very impressed by how efficient the whole installation and was and would not hesitate to recommend this company.

I'd have no hesitation in recommending these guys. Charlie is very professional and inspires a lot of confidence in me. His young guys Jack and Fred spent 2 days with us installing a new boiler, led by Jack. Jack was polite, helpful, intelligent, very hard working and was very receptive to working around 3 of us working from home on Zoom with one attending an interview online. The work was neat and tidy, all mess cleared up. Fred was new to the firm and was fast and effective. When we had a small hitch understanding which rads needed thermostatic valves, Fred changed one without hesitation. Overall I am delighted to have chosen Charlie's firm. Well done chaps from a very happy customer. I just need to pay now.....

Charles gave me two very competitive estimates compared with my usual gas man, and a perfect date for installation. Jack arrived exactly on time and carried out the installation with no fuss and on only two teas! I have now a top of the range Viessmann boiler full wi fi very happy with Charles and Jack's work. Recommend this company with 5 stars.

We have been most fortunate to have Charles Bickham Plumbing carry out all our plumbing needs over the years to installing a new en-suite, new boiler with updating of radiators, yearly boiler service and just recently the installation of a new cloakroom. This has been carried out in a most professional and efficient manner. Each time we have used their services, they have always been most considerate of our home when carrying out any plumbing work. Their aftercare service is first class. We would have no hesitation in recommending Charles Bickham Plumbing Services as a thoroughly reliable company.

The engineer turned up as planned he was extremely efficient clean and tidy. It was not an easy installation as the boiler was in a very awkward place.

Oh gosh, all of a sudden water appears on ceiling above the lounge/hall. I contacted Charles who rescheduled his work despite being short handed and came to investigate straight away. He found and repaired a pinhole leak caused by poor workmanship when the house was built 55 years previous. Thanks Charles, even a pinhole leak can cause lots of damage if not sorted quickly.

Charles Bickham Plumbing installed a combi boiler gas central heating system from scratch in my flat. Charlie was helpful and came quickly to quote, they started the work shortly after I received approval and completed the work quickly and carefully. They left everything neat and considered all of my future renovations in the installation. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Charles Bickham plumbing!
