Work carried our pleasantly and efficiently
We had a new gas boiler fitted by Coulson Building Group. The work was carried out efficiently and pleasantly. They also completed the paper work for the guarantee which was very helpful.

Excellent quality and communication
Coulson's refurbished our family bathroom and downstairs loo. They provided excellent service throughout with high quality work. We appreciated the care they showed for the house, and the way they minimised disruption throughout the process. They were very responsive from early bid stages right to the end, responding quickly to emails and always taking the time to answer questions and keep us posted on how the works were going. The onsite manager worked very hard to keep to the schedule and made sure that everything was left tidy at the end of each day. Given the age of the house, we knew there could be unexpected problems - and Coulsons let us know whenever issues arose and worked with us to resolve them. We are very pleased with the result and confident in the quality of the work and appreciate the attention they paid to getting all the final details just right. We would definitely use them again.

Professional and efficient service
Coulson's electrician replaced our RCD board with RCBO and fixed a faulty lightswitch in our kitchen. Their team were quick and polite with communications and were able to arrange a time for the job shortly after initial contact. On the day the electrician was friendly and professional and did a good job of completing the works promptly, making sure to recap his work when he had finished to outline exactly what had been done. Overall, impressive and efficient service!

An excellent job by Coulsons, completed on time and to budget by first class engineers
We employed Coulsons after reading WHICH Trusted Traders review - and we are very glad we relied yet again on WHICH. The work was to supply and install a commercial-size gas boiler in our private property and supply and install new pumps, heat exchanger, controls, motorised valves, wireless room thermostats, pipework, system filter, condensate and waste pipes, a new horizontal flue, and to supply and install a new water softener. The system was power flushed, and high chimneys were capped. An unrelated niggling pipe leak was repaired, and good advice given about a jammed stopcock. The engineers were here for 6 days, and they cleared up completely in our boiler house every night. They kept us informed at every stage. The whole exercise was beautifully planned and executed on time and to budget. Coulson's engineers were a pleasure to have around. I would recommend Coulsons without hesitation.

Replacement consumer unit
I contacted Coulson Group Ltd to give me a quote for a new consumer unit as I had already received two other quotes but these took some time to get. My first contact with Coulson’s resulted in a site visit arranged. I was informed of all the steps that would be needed and time scales for these as well as any additional works that may be needed depending on the suitability of my existing wiring. A quote was sent to me within a couple of days as well as a choice of dates should I wish to go ahead. I chose the best date for me and the electrician arrived as expected and was extremely informative, polite and skilled. When the unit was tested I was shown all the work that was done and advised of future testing etc. I received an email with the relevant certificates attached. I also requested hard copies of these documents which I received within a few days. I found Coulson’s to be a very good and professional company to deal with and I would happily recommend them in the future.

Poor.
My toilet suddenly failed to work. The young plumber thought the problem was the cistern diaphragm and had to go and buy a replacement. This did not solve the problem. He worked on it for a while then left without any explanation. I received a bill for three hundred and sixteen pounds, seventy two pence but still had a non functioning toilet. No explanation or apology.

Replacement of old Boiler
Coulsons came out to advise us on a replacement boiler. My impressions formed from this initial visit were good. He listened to what I had to say. I wanted the new boiler in the same site as the old one but the piping altered for ease of access. With the removal of the existing boiler, I wanted some old apertures in the wall sealed up. He was extremely knowledgeable and recommended a particular boiler and filter and quoted a total cost for all of the work. There was a change of personnel and David came out to reassess the agreed plan. I thought I would have to go through all the details again. However, he had all the details with him. The initial start date was some months away. However, David was as good as his word. He promised an earlier start if a date became available which it did. Dale was our gas engineer. He gave us a staged timetable for the work. Everything went to plan. The work was completed on time and on budget. It was a professional and also an extremely neat job. Remeha came our to access the work and granted an extended warranty. I am very pleased with the work. From our experience here with this company and particularly with David and Dale I would have no hesitation in recommending them to any prospective customer.

Refurbishment of water tank and central heating plumbing
Arrived on time. Helpful and friendly and Covid secure. Explained what they were doing and why. Gave us options and advice. Always cleared up at end of day. Finished work on time. Solved the unforeseen problems, advised, and fitted two automatic basement pumps. Also repaired niggling household plumbing problems as extras. Outstanding job. Good prices.

The Coulsons plumber arrived when he said he would, worked out the tricky problems with our plumbing and stayed on until everything was checked and working. We are now warm and all the radiators are working. Marvellous!

Excellent Work!
We have used Coulson's for many jobs over the years and always found them to be extremely helpful and professional. This latest work was a large project to lay on a gas supply to our house, install a new boiler and heating system including new radiators throughout. The plumber and his apprentices and others were superb - very hard-working, professional and good to have around the house. We enjoyed having them here. We were very pleased with the end result: we now have an excellent, most efficient heating system. They kept to their original quote and the work was completed on schedule.

Refitting of washroomtoilet. The company worked well with me to achieve the best result for a very small space. The few snags after the fitting were quickly remedied and there was no hesitation in addressing problems with existing equipment which came to light during the fitting.

Reliable trader quality work
My bathroom replacement is the most recent of a number of jobs that Coulsons have done for me including replacing my shower. I keep going back to Coulsons because I find them much easier to work with than smaller traders. For me they have been great for having availability to do my jobs in a reasonable timeframe and I have always found their work to be good quality.

Water Supply Pipe
A mains water pipe was replaced between the house and the water meter. This involved about 50m of trench to be dug around via a gravel drive, through raised vegetable beds and under a slabbed path (much done by hand to cope with various drain and tree root obstacles). The pipework was plumbed under and through a suspended floor into the existing house plumbing. The job took just over 2 weeks. The staff were very courteous and helpful. The household plumbing was neatly done with some old plumbing tidied up at the same time. The site was left clean and tidy afterwards. A professional job.

Excellent Service
Coulsons have helped me many times with plumbing issues. The Senior Manager,David Grundy , is very helpful indeed. He responds to emails very quickly and always does his best to sort things out as quickly as possible. On one notable occasion, my mother was due to arrive to stay here while she had an operation and the shower came off the wall half an hour before . David sent Paul round straight away and though it was complicated involving sourcing a new shower unit and drilling through the wall it was accomplished quickly without fuss the same day. The underfloor heating can sometimes be temperamental and it is reassuring that Dale can always sort it out quickly. I could go on but suffice it to say I have had excellent service

My Review
As an older woman, dealing with tradesman can sometimes be quite difficult. from start to finish I found the whole process very stress free. The job was a complete bathroom re fit. The initial conceltaion was conduced by a well mannered, professional and easy to talk to man. He listened to my requirements and understood the necesity for some immediate action to make the house habitual until the job could be undertaken. When work started I was always kept up to speed. The end result has been completed to a high standard and I am extremely pleased with the new Bathroom and would always use Coulson Building Group for any further work. The cost of the installation was very reasonable. The workmen where very tidy and respectful of my property.

I have used Coulson's several times over the years for smaller maintenance jobs. The minor roof repair we first expected turned out to be a need for a completely new roof. After a number of delays (not their fault, e.g bees in the roof) the work started and was done promptly and according to schedule, with excellent liaison with other tradesmen involved.

Two older boilers replaced with one modern boiler. Excellent workmanship, excellent communication. Staff who worked on-site, managers, supervisors, engineers, and administrators and were always very professional, courteous, efficient, and helpful. At times I felt like they were treating me as though as was the only client they were working for (even though they have multiple clients and several projects on the go simultaneously) because of the immediate and personal manner in which they dealt with me.

Good job, well done
The work was to reorganise a hallway by moving a radiator, and making and fitting a coat rack. The job was carefully prepared, materials were good quality and the work was neatly and cleanly carried out exactly when promised. Workmen were friendly and skilled. Almost as important as the work I had done, I discussed some further possible work but, even though it would have meant more work for the company, they advised against what I thought I wanted as the finish would not be satisfactory: I had to change my mind. It seemed to me to me that this was principled and evidence of a desire to do the job to the same standard as the other items.

Two cloakrooms refurbished, plumbers arrived promptly and always worked in a tidy fashion. Cheerful and well able to sort out any little problems. Tiling, new sanitary wear in an older property may have defeated some but not Coulsons. Progress was checked along the way, good notice of absence on one occasion.

Used this firm over 40 years in 3 different houses
They modernised my en-suite bathroom in 2014 removing a Jacuzzi, laying a sloping floor to provide a wet room for a walk-in shower, building an airing cupboard plus a cupboard for the washing machine. Also installed a sensowash ( W.C. cum Bidet). In 2015 in the cloakroom they replaced the bath with a walk-in shower. They arrived at agreed times and tidied up very well at the end of each day. I was kept informed of progress and any problems.
