Following our daughter's recommendation (she had a new wood-burning stove fitted by Humphrey and Crockett last year), we approached Paul about installing a new condensing boiler, and a wood-burning stove in our front room. Paul visited us to assess how to carry out the two tasks. He recommended simplifying our ramshackle piping arrangements. We were impressed by Paul's thorough approach. We then visited the company's Andover premises to choose a suitable stove. Paul showed us the range of stoves stocked, and explained the pros and the cons of each of them. We chose a Woodtec stove, but were unsure about the standard or the wide version. Paul assured us that we could change our minds at any stage. On his second visit to us, he took precise measurements for each installation, and proposed to carry out the work in just ten days' time. Two workteams carried out both installations simultaneously. We met five team members; all of them impressed us by following covid-19 precautions, and leaving no mess overnight. The work involved lining both chimneys, laying additional fireplace tiles and installing new piping for the boiler's condensation. All these jobs were neatly and carefully done. We also changed our minds about the stove. Paul willingly accepted our decision, and arranged the swop. We have found Humphrey and Crockett easy to deal with, flexible and attentive to detail. All workmanship and service were of good quality. Altogether, a very positive experience.

The work included advice on the correct wood burner for the location, including the room size, heat output and the new legal requirements; installation of the fire, a new chimney liner and chimney pot and insulation. The team paid great attention to protecting the carpet and room furnishings and left the room spotless. They protected the conservatory roof against any tiles that may have been dislodged whilst on the roof and even repaired a broken tile, not of their making! On completion, they explained the fire control mechanism and advised on the first lighting experience. They also went through the warranty registration procedures. All in all, quite excellent. I would strongly recommend them to anyone.

The work consisted of altering an existing fireplace and installing an inset stove and flue liner. After visiting the showroom and a visit from Bill, a detailed quotation was received recommending a stove, which turned out to be perfect. The installation team turned up on the day promised and the work was done in a highly professional way. Clean and tidy, floors and carpets protected and all with a cheery smile. A very comprehensive run through of operating instructions was very welcome. Thanks H & C. Would have no hesitation in recommending.

We had an oil burning stove removed and replaced with an electric one. It entailed capping the oil pipe and chimney, removing the oil fire and installing the electric one. They turned up on time, worked very efficiently and were friendly and helpful. Dreading the mess but their work was clean as a whistle! Would definitely recommend them.

Very impressed with the opening up our fireplace and the installation of the log burner. A swift response to my initial request for a quote swayed me towards this company and I'm glad that it did. The visit to the showroom was very informative and Bill helped us to choose a stove that is ecodesign ready. The range of accessories on show (hearth, beam etc) also allowed us to create an aesthetically pleasing feature for our living room at a very reasonable price. The team installing the stove were punctual and started work exactly on time. They were polite, friendly and, most impressively, very tidy. The work only took 2 days to complete which was great. The team were knowledgeable and we felt guided and supported throughout the whole process (perfect as this is the first time we have ever owned a log burner). We would definitely use this company again and would happily recommend them to friends and neighbours.

Moving house and stressful time. Needed a service and sweep of my log burner. Contacted Humphrey and Crockett, they sent a quote and booked me in. As an urgent job request they call me back to say they’d had a cancellation would I like the earlier time, perfect!. It was found at the service that we didn’t have an air brick which meant we couldn’t safely use the log burner. I got back onto phone and they dealt with my request quickly and professionally. We’ve seen 3 engineers from the company and all very experienced and professional, cleaned up after them wouldn’t have known they’d been here!. The whole experience with Humphrey and Crockett was first class, would highly recommend them.

We are extremely pleased that we found Humphrey & Crockett. From our first meeting with Bill when he came to quote through to fitting the service was first rate. We had already bought a stove from Ebay but this was no problem. Bill noticed that we did not have the collar so ordered one in, Sam and Michael turned up on the given date and were very polite and friendly. The job was quite difficult as getting the liner in proved to be a struggle. They worked extremely hard all the while still happy. They fitted a new Riven Slate hearth and the woodburner and gave me a very good lesson in how to use it. I cannot thank them enough. I would happily recommend Humphrey and Crockett to anyone.
