New Hot Water System
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.

Failing system rescued
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.

Great Service
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

Leaks in conservatory roof
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.

Reliable, honest and above all great engineer
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.

Very straightforward. Fast efficient work.
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.

Boiler service and improved performance
David was recommended to me by my family in Wrington to service my boiler and from that initial visit he has given my old boiler another lease of life with various improvements. He always explains what needs to be done in a clear way. He has just completed work on my boiler which had a difficult problem and now is fine. David is always absolutely professional with a pleasant manner and always gets back to me quickly if I leave a message. In short I would recommend David to anyone for his workmanship which is of the highest standard.

Boiler Service
Having fitted our new boiler excellently last year, I didn't hesitate contacting House Doctors to undertake the annual service of my boiler. They turned up at the time arranged and undertook a thorough job (unlike other companies who I have used to service my boiler in the past), including explaining what work had been undertaken, and the results of the testing. Would highly recommend House Doctors for both boiler installation and servicing.

House Doctors fixed a uPVC window for us and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. They didn’t have quite the right fixture at the initial visit as ours was non-standard, but they ordered the correct one and returned the very next day to fit it. Very happy with the prompt, polite service!

Conservatory roof repair
My 20 yr old conservatory sprang a leak when a roof panel shifted in high winds. Britannia Conservatories recommended House Doctors. David Ward (of House Doctors) carried out a successful repair in difficult circumstances due to restricted external access. From my experience I am happy to recommend House Doctors for their expertise & friendly service
