I can’t sing the praises of Gary and his team at Greenables loud enough. Prior to engaging Greenables to install a Klover thermoaura or our wide beam canal boat we had been let down by another tradesman who let us down at the last minute. Having contacted Gary from the first moment he was nothing but professional accommodating to our needs. He completed a comprehensive site survey of our boat, providing heat loss calculations on the same day to ensure our chooses pellet stove was suitable for its intended environment. He then provided a detailed quote at a competitive price. We were blown away by his customer service and decided to procure his services. Come installation he arrived on time with his team who were polite and professional through out. They went above and beyond to ensure that not only what they installed but also that the central heating and hot water system the boiler was be connecting to was all working and fit for purpose. They were helpful beyond belief. The installation was seamless and the plumbing and pipe work installed by Ross is the neatest I have ever seen, an engineering master piece. When everything was connected up and they tested the pellet boiler I was blown away. We have hit water on demand, a very warm boat and the glow of a very efficient biomass boiler. Gary’s aftercare when the boiler was installed has been exceptional and is always at the end of the phone to assist. Greenables are company that care about their customers. Thank you so much.

I first met Gary a couple of years ago when I asked him to come over to give me his thoughts on my proposal to replace my aging gas fired boiler with a heat pump. I had tried a couple of large companies previously but they weren't interested because of the size of the house. I shared all my data with Gary and he undertook heat loss survey. From the outset I knew that I could work with Gary. He is honest and very straightforward and clearly knows what he is doing. Like a previous feedback article, the teams he used for plumbing (Ross, Luke & Alfie) and electrical (Ryan) work were absolutely fantastic. They were tidy, professional and just an absolute joy to have around the house. The airing cupboard works that they undertook are a work of art ( as Gary said it would be). Truly outstanding work from them all. Albeit with mild weather at the moment the system is performing well with an estimated CoP of close on 5. I have no doubt that the system will cope with winter loadings. We are absolutely delighted and I have no doubt in recommending such a professional set of contractors. Thank you Greenables!

Gary was brilliant from his first arrival for the heat loss survey, was honest and thorough with his work. The teams he used for plumbing (Ross, Luke & Alfie) and electrical (Ryan) work were tidy, professional and just an absolute joy to have around the house. Truly outstanding work from them all. Currently waiting to see how the Air Source Heat Pump handles the winter months but it looks very smart and had no issues with the hot water so far. We're extremely happy.

Our pellet boiler has been serviced and maintained by Gary for 3 years. We now purchase pellets from Greenables. I have been very impressed with the knowledge and ability to solve inherited problems with the original installation of our biomass boiler which was not installed by Gary. With his assistance the boiler works as it should. Today we had an issue with the flue overheating, after 3 attempts to fix the problem using the manual for guidance I realised it required an engineer. I called Gary at 9am, he was with us at 10.30 ish and a new sensor was fitted tested and the boiler was fine tuned by 12.30. What a fantastic response and proffesional repair. It was fortunate that Gary was finishing a job nearby which helped but even so, impressive. The icing on the cake so to speak, the invoice arrives with a 50% discount for being a loyal customer. I cannot overstate the proffessional service Greenables offer us and have no hesitation in awarding maximum stars. Thank you Gary and the team.

I’ve had a garden building installed at the bottom of my garden and decided to have a wood burning stove installed. I found the process from start to finish really easy. Starting with dealing with Marie in the office, to installation with the on site team. Greenables provided and installed the stove, hearth and flue system. Gary and Chris worked quickly and efficiently, keeping the work space very clean and tidy. I’m so pleased with the wood burner and can’t waiting for the cold evenings to roll in. I would definitely recommend Greenables.

Solar Thermal Panels - Ask someone else - not recommended - over 8 months since their visit and still waiting for a quote!
Contacted the company in January 2023 looking for a repair/replacement of a damaged solar thermal panel. Representatives visited the house, to see the damaged panel on 31st January and asked me to supply further details of the system which I did by email. There then followed a series of email exchanges with me trying to get a quote from them. Trader has never been clear about what would be required including at one stage saying the whole solar system would need to be replace - just because of 1 broken solar thermal panel? This was queried by me and no explanation was really provided by the company - saying ‘the supplier recommended everything was replaced’? Nevertheless in March they said it would take up to 6 weeks to provide a quote. It’s now September and despite several chasers being sent it has not provided a response or quote from the company.

I have now used this company to look after our biomass central heating system for more than seven years. Members of the team have been involved in both routine servicing and emergency work and when an urgent response has been required, action has been impressive. As a recent example, the heat store plumbing developed a leak over the weekend. This was first noticed at 8.00 am on Sunday. I phoned Gary at 9.30 am and the plumber was on site midday on Monday. The faulty valve connection was replaced within the hour. I have no hesitation in recommending Gary and his team.

After six or seven years with another company they ceased offering biomass servicing We were very fortunate to find Greenables as a replacement Gary arrived on Monday for our first annual service of our Biotech boiler by Greenables and immediately impressed He did a very thorough job - including aspects such as emptying the pellet hopper and sweeping the flue, that were not done during our previous services. He also left the site even cleaner and tidier than when he arrived and disposed of the ash onto our flower beds as requested And all for a very reasonable price especially given his personable manner and overall quality of service.

Initially came to do a full service on my solar panels system and had to come back the following week to replace the expansion vessel. Both were very professional and polite. I was working from my home office during both visits, they were very unobtrusive so I was able to carry on as normal, taking meetings etc. Service was easy to book, I recommend getting them booked in early as they're very busy.

This was the latest in a series of annual service visits carried out by Greenables for our Janfire wood-pellet boiler. The team were polite, friendly, and punctual. They did a thorough job, leaving everything clean and tidy afterwards. They took the time for a helpful discussion on technical points relating to the boiler, on wood-pellets as a fuel, and on the current situation regarding renewable energy.

I called Gary on a recommendation after our boiler broke down. Initially, he spent a considerable time on the phone running through a list of possible issues that may enable me to sort it myself, and in the process do himself out of a job, which immediately made me realise he was a very decent guy. Despite being extremely busy he got out to us quickly and did an incredibly thorough job, whilst explaining various things and giving advice on both the boiler as well as on other energy options. I believe we have chanced upon a very knowledgeable, efficient and reliable person, which given the unreliable nature to date of our setup gives us huge peace of mind.

The work is extremely tidy and was carried out by his team over two days and we are happy to report all is running far smother than before. The work involved, installing a buffer tank with associated plumbing. I would point out the issues we have suffered, were caused by the original installer, who has since gone bankrupt.
