After our boiler stopped working we ended up having to contact Lee a couple times after he’d fixed it as an emergency. Lee ended up visiting us 3 times after discovering it was an electrical fault and brought an electrician round to assist. Lee was very quick to respond to our initial call on a Saturday. He was helpful and friendly when getting the job done and not wanting to leave us without heating or hot water. Would recommend his services!

We first met Lee through a call out for our kitchen sink and found him to be very friendly and extremely reliable. He came out very late at night and was very quick to attend our property to help. We spoke to Lee about re-fitting our current bathrooms and he has since completely transformed our three outdated bathrooms (main, cloakroom and en-suite) in our property. Lee worked with us to incorporate the exact designs we wanted and offer suggestions to improve the design. The work was completed to an excellent standard and we are thrilled with the results. Would highly recommend to anyone in future!

Boiler Service - Disappointing
Customer Service
Quality
Value
Booking - I phoned the landline provided which was answered by the engineers wife/partner who took message. The engineer lee Frank did call me back without being chased. Service - engineer did not arrive when booked - I give the benefit of the doubt that it was a genuine misunderstanding. He arrived on time at the new date. The "service" seemed be be rather cursory and was limited to tests and completing a check list. It was completed in about 40 minutes. On my previous service, the engineer stripped down the boiler and cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. This did not feel like value for money for £85 (plus VAT). I did receive an official test certificate . No invoice was provided (although the price was agreed in advance) - I was invited to photograph his bank card and make payment using details. I made payment by bank transfer and asked for a receipt but none was sent. I chased after 1 week but was told that he was "incapacitated and unable to walk" and that an invoice would be sent as soon as possible. None was sent. I chased again after a further 3 weeks but he had apparently lost my details because of a replacement phone. I provided my details but did not hear further. It would appear that he prefers to avoid any financial paperwork. I would not use this engineer again because I now lack trust in him and did feel that the service was thorough.

We woke up to no heating or hot water, cold showers are hardly refreshing when you're expecting it to be -1 degrees outside. Did a quick search and found Lee of Franks Plumbing & Heating who incredibly attended within hours of our panicked call. He very quickly replaced the failed part on our boiler inexpensively and thus saved up from the prospect of a freezing night. It's so good to appreciate having a warm home with hot water again, we all take it for granted. Will be happily recommending Lee to anyone who needs quality, trusted heating or plumbing services, was very efficient, professional, fair and honest with costs.

Numpty here ran about 4 screws into his pipes and water starting flooding through the ceilings. Rang up Frank's and he literally stopped eating dinner and arrived in mere minutes to fox the issue. Water damage has been minimal only down to his knowledge and effeciency. Would 120% recommend anyone in need of for any plumbing needs for that matter. Left the house in a clean state after despite the mess I made.

New boiler installation

A massive and long overdue thank you to Franks Plumbing & Heating! Our old boiler packed up on New Years Day leaving us with no heating and hot water. After another plumber told us it couldn’t be repaired, we sought a second opinion and Lee turned up within 15 minutes. Despite his best efforts to fix it, our boiler was sadly beyond repair – not surprising since it turned out to be 37 years old! Lee gave us a reasonable quote for a new boiler and he and his colleague Jay worked solidly over a whole weekend to get it installed at short notice. We also found them to be friendly and they took real care cleaning up on both days. Our new Vaillant boiler is amazing and it’s great to know a reliable plumber so much so that we’ve had Lee back since to fit a new kitchen tap. Would highly recommend.

We recently had Lee and his team completely renovate and refit a new bathroom for us. They worked extremely hard and were tidy and considerate to our property and neighbours. The finished bathroom is everything we wanted and more, finished to an unbelievable high standard. Lee is a very skilled plumber who worked tirelessly to complete our bathroom and was unfazed when problems and additional work beyond his control surfaced. We would definitely recommend!

We called Lee on Sunday to see if he could help us with an emergency (a pigeon got stuck behind our fireplace!) Not knowing if anyone would be available on a Sunday we were pleased to find he was happy to help. An unfaultable professional service going above and beyond the call of duty just to help. And a nice guy to boot. If you want a reliable, trustworthy service look no further, and value for money was fantastic. Thanks again so much Lee, we truly appreciate you coming to help us.

This is not the first time we’ve called out Lee and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again. On this occasion we’d been experiencing recurring problems with our boiler. Lee presented us with a range of options enabling us to make an informed decision. He then went the extra mile to sort out the problem and we’ve not experienced an issue since. Thoroughly recommended!

Called Franks Plumbing & Heating on one of the coldest days of the year, with a couple of inches of snow on the ground, having typically had the boiler break down overnight. Lee turned up quickly and sorted the problem without any fuss. To top it off, he charged a very reasonable rate- would definitely recommend! He was also very professional and polite.

Curry's left a real mess when removing my old washing machine. They then refused to install the new one in my utility room (claimed it was too big to fit). Lee Franks was there within the hour to install the new machine and correct the damage Curry's had done. An absolutely first class service - efficient, polite and totally professional. Highly recommended.

I contacted Franks Plumbing & Heating to have a new kitchen tap installed. I wasn't sure if the job would be too small for a company to come out for, but as the website says, 'no job too big or small' and this is completely true. The job was done professionally with no hassle and it is also good to know that you can rely on a company to call you back when they say they will and turn up when arranged! I would definitely recommend them.

Lee and his co-workers have just finished installing a new bathroom and combi boiler to our house. Lee is exceptional, he takes great care to get everything spot on, he is cheerful and knowledgeable and does what he says he will do. The bathroom was a joint project- I did the prep and he did the skilled work, this can't be the easiest way of working but he coped with my amateurishness and didn't laugh too loudly at my bodges. Nothing is too much trouble to him, I would recommend him wholeheartedly.

It was Saturday afternoon, very cold and the heating suddenly stopped working. I looked in the 'Which Little Red Book' and found Lee Franks entry. We hadn't used him before. He arrived within the hour, he was very polite and friendly. he asked about the symptoms leading up to the problem, which I explained. Lee had the boiler working again within the an hour. I was most impressed. I would definitely recommend him to others, in fact I shall use him to regularly service my boiler in future.

Although unable to repair my boiler on a Saturday night, was here within 30 minutes and had diagnosed the problem and explained to me in plain English what the issue was and why it couldn't be fixed that evening (parts unavailable 24/7 even though he was). Very polite and professional and obvious expert without expecting customer to be. boiler had some loose fittings due to missing screws which he fixed without comment before he left for no extra charge. would 10/10 recommend.

Our Family Plumber
Customer Service

We have used Lee's services for a number of years, mainly heating maintenance and some work on our shower and gas fire. He has always been prompt, reliable, knowledgable, willing to work outside regular hours and prepared to go the extra mile. Recently my daughter bought a "fixer-up" house and it soon became apparent that the existing heating system was worn out, obsolete and inappropriate for the new owner. We asked Frank's Plumbing to advise us on a complete new system installation and to quote for the job. The work was carried out quickly, cleanly and with a minimum of disruption and we are delighted with the outcome, a neat, clean and efficient system. The attitude of Lee himself and his workers and their friendly and helpful outlook is also worthy of mention as you watch your flooring being torn up. After the job, the house was left clean and all necessary uprooting of floors had been reinstated. I guess the best recommendation that anyone can give is to say that we would , as a family, all continue to use Frank's Plumbing services in the future - without reservation - as we have in the past.

Yesterday I had Lee from Franks Plumbing and Heating change some taps. I just wanted to share with anyone needing a plumber how good and helpful he is. Firstly I had bought the wrong kitchen taps, and secondly I couldn't go and change them as I had loaned my car to my daughter. No problem for Lee, he just ask me if I had the receipt and off he went to get the right ones. He is so professional, you wouldn't have know he had been in the house. Everything left clean and tidy. Brilliant. One more thing, he took his shoes off without being asked, I am so impressed.
