Excellent Service.
I needed my gas boiler servicing and wanted a reliable plumber to set up an annual service. The response to my initial phone call was quick and an appointment was scheduled for about 10 days later. I was relieved that it was fairly soon as it was winter. The arrangements were made clear in the call and soon after by both email and text, followed up with reminders shortly before the appointment, including on the morning of the service. The team arrived punctually, the work done efficiently and the area left tidy. Craig explained clearly what had been done and gave useful advice about the guarantee. The service was very good value, it was cheaper than my previous one carried out a year earlier. I valued their efficiency and excellent communication and will certainly recommend Illustrious to friends and family.

Replace boiler with Worcester combi boiler
The old boiler was 19yrs old and had become very temperamental with the temperature control. Craig recommended a Worcester Combi Boiler to replace the old unit,including a Comfort+11 RF control unit. I chose Craig because of his prompt action to look at the old boiler and that he was local. He was good at communicating the actions needed and started work on the day specified The work was carried out efficiently with the minimum of fuss and to a high standard of cleanliness. We now have to get to grips with the wireless control unit!

Great Professional service at a reasonable price
I urgently needed a new boiler fitting after my old boiler gave up the ghost over Christmas. Craig managed to source the boiler and fit it within a couple of days. The quote was very reasonable, and the work was carried out in an afternoon to a high standard. There was a problem with the garage roof, which affected the installation of the flue, but Craig arranged for a roofer to attend and resolve the issue. I have used Illustrious Plumbing for a number of years and have always found the service provided excellent. Craig is very reliable, professional and does a great job. Would recommend to anyone needing heating and plumbing services in the Chester area.

Small jobs dealt with efficiently and professionally
Our loo started constantly flushing and a radiator was not heating up so I contacted Craig after seeing online that he was recommended by ‘Which’. His booking system was admirable. His appointment reminders were reassuring and he turned up exactly when expected. Necessary parts were speedily ordered by him and the work was completed much to our satisfaction.

Excellent Plumber
The jobs in my shower room were only small ones but Illustrious Plumbing & Heating have done a superb job! After a false start, excellent communication resulted in a new date being found quickly and the work was done most efficiently. Thank you so much, Craig, for fitting me into a busy schedule of work. Which? (Consumers Association) have this as one of its Trusted Traders in my area and I can see why; couldn't ask for better service underpinned by superb communication. Highly recommended! Makes being a member of the Which? community even more worthwhile and I'll certainly call on a Trusted Trader again if required (this was the first time I have called upon one) Thank you Which?!

Speedy service
Craig installed my boiler in March 2019 and has serviced it every year since .There have been 2 occasions when it needed attention and each time Craig was very quick to respond. The latest was when the thermostat broke 2 days before I went on holiday and Craig sourced and installed a new one the next day. He is always reliable and efficient and sends plenty of information about the timing of his visits etc.

Always Reliable
We used Craig now for a few years. Initially to service our boiler and Megaflow tank. Just recently he has installed a new boiler and his work as always was very efficient, tidy and above all punctual. We are very happy to recommend his work to anyone needing plumbing services who want a tradesman to show up when they say they will.

Reliable and knowledgeable
Craig/Illustrious initially fixed our boiler a few years ago when it stopped working after another plumber from another company moved the boiler due to a kitchen refit. Craig is on it and knows his stuff. We book Craig in for a yearly service and he is very reliable.

Great Service
Craig & his team originally installed my boiler. They are very professional and helpful, so was very happy to ask them back to service the boiler. Craig is also repairing a stand-alone bath tap for me, having advised that this is far less expensive than simply replacing it. Great service and excellent work. Highly recommend.

First rate service
Craig and his staff are extremely efficient and provide a professional service. Illustrious installed the boiler a few years ago and have been running the regular service since then. They operate a very well run business and I’m glad I chose them.

Boiler service
Chose this trader as it was a local firm. Found my contact (Craig) friendly and easy to work with for setting a day and time for the service. This was then confirmed in advance by email. I was also given a reminder on the day by text confirming the arrival time. Service work was carried out efficiently and tidily. Bill was a fair price, so would be happy to continue to use this firm for this and any other work.

Craig from Illustrious Plumbing and Heating Limited serviced my boiler, which he installed a few years ago. I always receive excellent service from him and today was now different. I would have no hesitation in recommending him for your boiler servicing and installation if required

High quality, well organised work
Carried out a full strip down service for a 16+ years old Worcester Bosch gas boiler. The boiler had an intermittent error code. Craig, the technician, diagnosed and resolved the problem quickly and correctly. The boiler is now operating much more smoothly and quietly. Visits were at the agreed times. Communications by phone, SMS and email were to a high standard.

Prompt call out following to cap an overflowing toilet pipe
Craig is a very pleasant person. He came within the hour to cap the offending pipe. Being a Saturday, the offending part was replaced later. He was very efficient, speedy, and competent. I would thoroughly recommend him and Illustrious Plumbing. Nothing was too much bother.
