I have know and used the services of this company for around fourteen years, I have a rental property in Didcot and each year they carry out the boiler service and landlords certificate. On the rare occasion I have an issue at the property I know I can pick up the phone and speak with Richard direct to either sort the problem or provide invaluable advice and contacts. Over the first May Bank Holiday my tenant reported water dripping into the hall from the bathroom above, one quick call to Richard and the matter was dealt with. However, to eradicate the issue of leaking pipes, the hall ceiling had to come down so access could be gained to the bathroom pipes. A return visit was a greed with my tenant and the work carried out to her satisfaction plus the recommendation of a plasterer to carry out the remedial work. I now live in Cornwall so have to rely on traders I can trust and can contact in an emergency, this is never in doubt with E & W Plumbing. We are all going through challenging times financially, but E & W's prices are fair and competitive and I'm pleased to say Richard adopts a common sense approach to call-out charges over a Bank Holiday, for which, I am very grateful

A heating engineer who professed to be unfamiliar with our type of underfloor heating fitted the wrong part as the system was not heating to required temperature. It seems that this was a basic error. It was not possible to realise that something was amiss until now, with warmer weather upon us. It is possible that this has cost us more in gas supply than should have been the case and possibly long term damage to the system. The issue has been resolved (I hope) but we have not received a formal apology.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and we are very sorry to hear you have not had been happy with the service provided to you. We take customer service very seriously and it is extremely rare that we find any of our clients are not fully satisfied with the service we provide. We are aware of the issue you experienced and I understand the issue was rectified free of charge very soon after it was raised with our office. We have discussed the problem with the engineer who visited you and it is our understanding that the engineer correctly diagnosed the fault with your system but unfortunately fitted the wrong type of component as he picked up the wrong (but very similar) part from his van. It is a shame that human error has come into play but it is just that & we are glad that the issue has now been resolved. We have done everything we can to rectify the issue for you as quickly and professionally as possible and trust everything is working as it should be. Rest assured there will be no damage to your under floor heating system as the temperature is controlled by a blending valve on the manifold itself which is completely separate to the part that was replaced. Once again please accept my apologies for the unfortunate turn of events and be assured that we have taken action to avoid this type of situation occurring again in future.
Exceptional service!

I recently had a new hot water cylinder installed by E & W Plumbing & Heating, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the initial consultation to the completion of the installation, the team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a commitment to customer satisfaction. The engineers arrived on time and took the time to explain all the steps of the installation process. They worked efficiently and made sure everything was perfectly configured. I was particularly impressed with how they managed to handle the complexities of our home’s older plumbing and electrical system. Post-installation, they thoroughly tested the system and ensured that everything was running smoothly before they left. They also cleaned up the area, leaving it spotless. Thank you for your exceptional service and for ensuring that my family has access to hot water. It’s clear that customer care is your top priority, and it truly shows in your work. I would definitely use your services again and recommend you to anyone looking for heating solutions.

This was a complex job involving work on 6 roof level water tanks which provided water to 3 blocks of flats. A total of 40 flats were affected. The work involved draining each rooftank, installing new stoptaps then labelling each stoptap to show which flats it turned off. So access was needed into each of the 40 flats to identify which stoptap turned off water to which cluster of flats. I was on site through the 3 days when E and W completed the work. The work was completed in an efficient, systematic and rigorous manner. Communication with me was excellent. And all three E and E staff conducted themselves in a very professional manner with occupants of the flats. I would certainly firmly recommend E and W for any small or large piece of work.

We had a problem with our boiler, so rang E & W Plumbing - they asked us to check a few things, which showed the problem was with our Calor Gas supply, not the boiler. We got new gas bottles delivered, then Richard at E & W Plumbing explained over the telephone how to get the boiler up and running again. So helpful, and all advice given totally free of charge. I can't recommend this company enough - all their staff are friendly, courteous and helpful. It would have been easy for a less scrupulous company to get two call-outs out of our problem, but E & W sorted us out over the phone and without charging us anything. Excellent service, would not use anyone else.

The plumbers were extremely courteous and considerate and left no mess. We intend to use this company exclusively in future and to recommend them to all our friends.

Our kitchen developed a leak between the isolation tap and the feed to the header tank in the roof. My normal plumber was not available so I contacted E&W. Richard got back to me within 40 minutes, and arranged for a member of his team to visit. This showed that the leak was under the floor and a further visit was required. Throughout Richard was very responsive and easy to get hold of.

We have used Richard,s team to firstly repair a broken heating system when the weather was at its coldest and they responded immediately getting it working again. Subsequent to that we used them again for servicing our heating system again to our satisfaction. Recently we needed them for many differing pieces of work to our bathroom, waste outlet, sink waste and replacement taps. All of this required their highly skilled workforce to use their problem solving abilities to get over many issues. We are so indebted to them and it might sound dramatic but you realise how much you need your bathroom when parts of it do not work. So to sum up, all communication with Richard and his team is brilliant. Time scales are excellent, the team are communicative, helpful and a pleasure to have in your home. Definitely a company to recommend to everyone.

I have had difficulty getting a good plumber at a reasonable rate to do relatively small jobs. The last one would not come back when his work on an immersion heater started leaking. But in E & W Plumbing and Heating of Wallingford I found a team who did just what they said they would do - fixed all the minor things, fitted a new tap, sorted out a cistern, and, on the second visit, foxed the immersion heater, even adding a new drainage tap at no extra cost. Their plumbers were friendly and tidy; they explained everything clearly and did a neat job in the time they said it would take. The whole service was clear and efficient and at a reasonable price. I definitely recommend them for any job in the South Oxfordshire area.

I have used E&W Plumbing several times now. The last job was challenging, as old, poorly installed pipework needed to be replaced. The plumber who came was brilliant. In spite of the difficulties he encountered, he remained highly professional throughout the twelve hours he was here, finally leaving at 9 pm and the job was completed the following morning. In all my contacts with E&W, I have been so impressed with their work ethic, politeness, knowledge and communication. The office is highly efficient, and appointments are booked amazingly quickly, even late at night. The quality of the work is second to none and the cost of the work is so reasonable. I will always use E&W from now on.

Our heating system is pressurised and we had a problem with the expansion vessel losing pressure - E & W quoted to replace this unit and replenish the inhibitor: the job was completed more quickly than had been anticipated and they consequently reduced the final bill, which was very fair and very welcome. All the team members I have dealt with are polite and professional.

Richard gave an excellent précis and outlined his estimate of the work required. He proceeded to replace the boiler with an excellent outcome. Two days later, he replaced another boiler from my house in Summertown and this needed more complicated fixing but again did a very fine job.

I had contacted Richard from E & W Heating a few months ago as we were having some problems with our boiler and it seemed that a boiler replacement was imminent. An appointment was made with Richard to survey the boiler and installation and produce a quote. Richard was very thorough with the survey and highlighted any potential problems. The boiler finally gave up between Christmas and New Year and thankfully it was possible to fit us in for a new boiler early in the New Year. Gary and his assistant, Charmen(?) attended punctually to fit the new boiler. Gary was meticulous in explaining the procedures for fitting the boiler and any disruption that might occur. The boiler was in and running by mid afternoon with very little fuss. Any mess was cleared up as they progressed, leaving the house as they found it. They returned a few days later to complete the flush of the system. The service was professional and polite throughout and I would have no hesitation in recommending their services.

Could not recommend. Inflexible on timing. Had to wait six weeks without heating, three of which were also without hot water. Installation seemed rushed and radiator overflowed causing water damage to new paintwork in hall below and risk of damage to recently installed underfloor heating. However they did redecorate and paid my electrician's bill for checking electrics. Team doing work were polite. Heating system has behaved erratically post installation but this is not covered by their warranty even though work included flush and balancing of system. When we contacted them for advice post installation they sent us instructions for testing the system over 4 day period. We supplied very detailed report but their only response to this was to offer of chargeable two hour appointment to diagnose.

We are sorry to hear that you feel the service you have received has not met with your expectations. We were upfront about the timescales in which we could deliver the work and met with every agreed deadline. We also squeezed in an extra day of emergency hot water repair work within just a few days of the issue becoming apparent. Additionally, we had one of our office staff travel nearly 2 hours to drop electric heaters to you at no charge prior to any work being undertaken. The system was tested in your presence and left working correctly upon completion. It is unfortunate that some of your existing valves are now failing but the issues you are experiencing are completely unrelated to the work we carried out. We have gone above and beyond in trying to assist you, even taking a call before 8am on a Sunday to talk you through dealing with a leak that had been caused by yourselves. I am sorry to hear that we cannot add you to our list of 1000's of satisfied customers but feel we could not have done any more than we have already done to ensure your satisfaction.

E&W are a good family company. I had a good experience from the initial visit by Richard for the quote.

Clear information at the estimate as to what work needed to be carried out and why. Punctual and tidy work, carried out quickly. An explanation at each stage of the work was given, which minimised any disruption - IE. having the water off. The chap that carried out the work was clearly highly proficient at all aspects of the installation. All documentation was completed the company and certificates and warranties were received within three working days of completion. The whole experience could not have been improved upon.

We had a blocked toilet. It was our second toilet so it wasn't an emergency to get it rectified. I'd tried plunging it myself with no luck. Richard's company, E&W Plumbing & Heating, had been personally recommended to me on a previous occasion. I 'phoned and Richard attended, with his apprentice, within 10 minutes of our call. (Luckily he was in the area). Richard was pleased to have this job as he said that his apprentice needed the experience of dealing with drains and plumbing in a house nearly 100 years old. They worked for about 1½ hours and, using various techniques, unblocked the drain, which had become blocked several metres outside our building. I was very impressed with how Richard supervised, and instructed, his apprentice. He made sure that the job was completed in a timely manner and that everything was tidied away and cleaned afterwards. Richard's attention to detail, when ensuring health and safety, impressed me. He even went to the trouble of offering to replace flower pots and garden ornaments which had been moved to expose the inspection pit. E&W's rates were VERY reasonable and the service could not have been better.

Very nice and professional and said they could repair an enclosed toilet where others said they couldn't. However, I was charged a £75 call out, and quoted £238.54 to do the job. Therefore, over £300 to repair a toilet. I eventually found an excellent man to do it for £60! Maybe they are used to dealing with big contracts, but not recommended for small jobs.

The trader replied (on 10/06/2019)
I am pleased that you are satisfied with the customer service and quality you have received from us. As a family run business, it is of the highest importance to us that our clients are completely satisfied. I am sorry to hear that you feel the service you received did not offer the value we consistently deliver. I am happy to provide an explanation as to why we have recommended the repair work for which you were quoted. Due to the hard water in this area, it is very common for toilet parts to become heavily scaled and damaged. This issue is more common with concealed type cisterns such as yours. The components used in concealed cisterns are not generic and are considerably more expensive than those used when repairing conventional toilets. We typically charge between £75-140 for a conventional toilet repair. Most toilet repairs are completed within an hour which is covered by our call out fee. Unfortunately the price of replacement parts is not something we can control. The majority of our work is carried out for private individuals as opposed to larger contracts. Having repaired thousands of different toilets in the local hard water area, we are well versed in the problems that occur and best ways to complete long lasting repairs. It is always our aim to offer the best long term solution to our clients when completing any repair work. This stops-call backs and ensures that the repairs we carry out don't fail soon afterwards. Thank you for your review and custom!
Boiler installation how it should be

Quality

Installation of a new boiler is quite a significant expenditure to care about the service, value and the quality of workmanship. I don't usually leave 5-star reviews just for the sake of it, but I give 5 stars to E&W. From the quote to the installation, everyone was very professional and courteous. The work was done exactly as specified, in time and on budget. I am quite happy with the new boiler and how it was installed. Initially I was contemplating to go for a national brand, but now I am confident I've made a right choice to go local.

Good and sensible advice up-front, all work done expertly and carefully, and everything left clean and tidy afterwards. We are delighted with the work done and everything works just as we hoped it would. They fitted a new boiler (and larger bore piping) a few months ago too, and that's been a great success, keeping us warm ever since! Polite and fun guys while the work was done, hardworking and thoughtful. 100% recommended.

My shower was suddenly broken while I was out of the country. I was very panicking and tried my search on checkatrade.com. I I have sent about 15 emails to local companies which are highly rated from the website. However, I only received two replies. Richard from E&W Plumbing and Heating was the first one to come back to me within no time. Richard always responses to my email swiftly and gives me extremely useful advice. Today is the appointment day, I was slightly worried this morning as in the last two years, I had at least five different tradesmen who had last minute cancellation with exactly the same reason of calling sick on the appointment day, of course they never turned up again. Gladly Richard came at 10AM sharp this morning. He is very friendly and respectful, he always use shoe bag inside the house. Within half an hour, he has fixed the shower! He checked many times and cleared up all the mess. Efficient and beautiful job! I can not recommend more! Thank you so much, Richard!

As usual Richard was prompt and able to both sort the radiator and fix the toilet. He was also happy to give us some advice about long term plans for the house.

On this occasion, the task was to convert a gravity fed heating system to a pressurised one. The proprietor, Richard Gross, is not only a skilled heating engineer/plumber, who knows his trade inside-out, but many of us could learn a thing or two about management skills from him. He clearly employs only the best people to work for him, who also demonstrably hold to the same ethics as himself. My wife and I have always been impressed with the level of service we have receive from Richard over the years. Yesterday, one of his engineers, John, spent the day carrying out the work to convert our system, who also presented a high degree of professionalism, friendliness and was very helpful. A real credit to Richard's business. John, as with Richard and the rest of his team, did a first rate job and was careful to explain precisely what he had done and why. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending this company for all heating and plumbing needs. They are 100% trustworthy and we wouldn't use anyone else other than E And W Plumbing and Heating.

I have moved into a new house and I requested a gas safety check as suggested by my surveyor. Richard came across as an incredibly competent and utterly courteous professional. I was in doubt that I was dealing with somebody who knew exactly what he was doing and that he intuitively understood my needs as a customer. In addition to carrying out the safety check and issuing the relevant certificate, he showed me how the heating timer worked and we discussed my specific requirements regarding when and for how long the hot water needed to be on for etc. I was aware that my knowledge was limited and that my questions must have seemed to be very basic ones. Nevertheless, Richard answered them politely, confidently, and without once appearing to be patronising. After having a brief chat with him about his business and his plans for it, I quickly became aware that Richard is a very focused young man with a commitment to growing his business through delivering excellent quality service. I cannot recommend him highly enough and I wish him all the very best for the future.
