House Doctors

Having put up with low-pressure hot water for many years, David replaced the old system with a pressurised cylinder which has made a world of difference. I don't have to wait for ages for hot water to come out of my taps and my shower is as good as you find in hotels. While replacing the cylinder, David suggested I also pressurise my heating system, doing away with the open-air expansion tank. The cost for all the work was less than other quotes and for a larger cylinder. David patiently explained the benefit of his recommended changes but I never felt pressured to accept the changes. He is thorough in his work and comes when agreed. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

David replaced a window in our kitchen which was done well & speedily. He was also able to do it from the outside to keep in line with COVID advice.

To prepare for winter I wanted a power flush to a central heating system well over 30 years old, upgraded with a new boiler and thermostatic valves 10 years ago, but now known to be sludged up. In fact we found the system was on its last legs. David flushed the system and each individual radiator, working methodically to deal with various problems which showed up: un-sticking radiator valves and replacing a faulty one, clearing blockages, soldering a new radiator joint, replacing isolating valves which didn't work properly, getting a three port valve to work again and replacing a failing pump, as well as contacting the boiler manufacturer because despite annual servicing by British Gas it appeared to have overheated. Unusually high amounts of sludge and scale were removed. Six months on, the system remains fault free, the radiators have no cold spots, the pump is quieter, and the boiler provides the same heat on lower settings. A bigger job than either of us expected, but well worth it.

Dave came to do a powerflush at our house however the customer service began before that as he called to discuss the initial enquiry to make sure what I was asking for was the correct solution to the problem. Quick responses to enquiries and prompt booking. When he came round he was very considerate given the current COVID guidelines. Very knowledgeable, good at explaining the work required and helpful giving tips on post work maintenance

A repair to my conservatory roof done quickly with a minimum of fuss. Excellent service - will use again when needed. Thank you.

After many years of trying to solve the problem ourselves, we contacted the House Doctor. He was thorough and meticulous, and found where the water was coming in! We are so delighted! After all these years, we finally have no more leaks! He is reliable, conscientious, and works very tidily; he has a very transparent pricing policy and always answers emails - he will definitely be the first person we would contact in the future for any work we need doing. We have no hesitation in recommending him to others.

David has helped my wife and I out many times. He is very reliable and a great engineer. He can get to the bottom of any problem and, believe me, I have given him his fair share of challenges for one customer! I would highly recommend David to anyone.

David carried out all the work that I requested over two days. This included, replacing a kitchen tap, servicing my 9 year old boiler and my even older gas fire and replacing a cowl on my chimney to stop birds nesting and blocking the flue. He worked efficiently and fast. His manner was professional but friendly and I really appreciated his very clear, non patronising explanations as he went along. All communication was very straightforward with lots of helpful suggestions and advice along the way. I am very happy that I have found someone who I can trust and will be calling on him again to deal with any future housing issues.
