They're my go-to plumbers. They service my gas heating every year, and recently replaced my shower and kitchen tap. I recently had a leak from my water softener circuit. They did repairs quickly and I know I can call them out whenever needed. The office keeps me informed so I'm not worrying. They do the extra mile when necessary, staying on to sort out a problem. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

The team displayed excellent customer service and went the extra mile to get out to us and fix our heating and hot water issues knowing we had a new baby in the house too. We had two engineers out to assess and carry out some fixes- they worked well together to communicate and share what had been done on the previous visit and worked persistently until our heating and water issues were solved. Prompt and efficient service. Thank you! Would highly recommend

What seemed like a tricky job made effortless

John renewed the electrical wiring centres and thermostats for our underfloor heating. The old wiring was faulty and patched throughout and many of the thermostats didn't work for one reason or another adding what seemed like a number of, unknown complexities. John worked through the backlog of legacy wiring and problems with ease and has now brought our heating system up to date. He was prompt and flexible with his time and the job finished on budget - he was also communicative and helpful throughout the process, making recommendations on which equipment to use going forward. Any challenges were recognised early on and resolved swiftly. I'd strongly recommend J Child Mechanical Plumbing Gas for all complex gas and plumbing needs.

The initial survey was informative and Alan and Mickey carried out a very professional job, seemingly never stopping for a break to get the work done to schedule (new boiler and radiators). Boiler seems a high quality product (internet-enabled!). Removing all waste including a redundant macerator was also helpful. Definitely recommended.

The boiler failed one evening and I emailed J Child that night. By 8am the following morning I'd been promised they'd look at their schedules and get someone to us. By 10.30am Alan the plumber was with us. Due to the cost of the faulty part and the age of the boiler, we opted for a new one. Later that afternoon, John called us to go through options with us then provided a quote. We accepted it and the boiler was ordered that evening. By 8.30am the following morning, Alan was back to fit the boiler. He worked hard for most of the day to make sure we had a new, working boiler by the end of the afternoon. Great service and I can't think of anything negative at all.

I called J Childs to arrange a boiler service and was helped by the very friendly Tania who helped get it arranged at a convenient time and day. On the day Alan turned up exactly on time, was very respectful of my house and time and did his job quickly and efficiently, explained his findings and made sure I understood everything. The report was available next day and the whole process was very cost effective, would very much recommend them and will be using them in the future!

Alan from J Child Mechanical Plumbing and Gas installed a new radiator for us with excellent results. He fully discussed a number of small issues as they came up, and resolved them without fuss, hassle, or mess. A very smooth operation. I invited them to do this work because of the excellent job they made last year of installing a new boiler. I highly recommend their work from start to finish.

This is my second time to use J Child and the whole experience has been great. I find the company completely reliable, honest, efficient and prompt. They always arrive on time and complete the work to a high standard. The communication, admin and paperwork is clear and professional. They are extremely courteous and work focused. They make good suggestions without forcing their views. Very easy to deal with.

Our downstairs loo sprang a leak and J Childs were able to send someone out that same day. Problem solved! I have also used them for tap and radiator repairs and found the service very prompt and efficient. I would heartily recommend them.

J Child replaced our old gas boiler and cylinder with a combi; replaced a shower unit; and fitted a larger radiator in the hall over 2 days in August 2022. We are very impressed with the whole experience, starting with John Child’s initial survey and advice. Allan and apprentice Mikey worked steadily and efficiently throughout the installation. All non-‘black-bin’ rubbish was removed before they completed the job. Very pleased indeed. Highly recommend.

We've used John for two years now, to service our boiler and do some works on our underfloor heating system. He has been excellent, with no fuss whatsoever. He's very prompt, gets on with the job in hand very professionally leaves no mess - couldn't ask for better. Communications with the office are very easy. Thoroughly recommended.

Investigate and repair leak under bath. Supply and fit new isolation valve and mapress fitting.

We found drips on our sitting room ceiling on Saturday. We were able to isolate the leak and contacted half a dozen plumbers. J Child were quick to respond and able to come on Tuesday. On the phone, they explained their pricing structure which seemed fair. They arrived promptly, identified and carried out the repair necessary to the copper pipe, and re-aligned another isolation valve which had been poorly installed in this new build. The bath panel could not be replaced yet as the floor was still drying out, but Allan showed me an Amazon link to buy new bath panel clips which had broken when I had taken it off at the weekend. I was very pleased with the service and price and would not hesitate to use them again.

John fitted electric underfloor heating to my small study/bedroom. It was professionally done and he and the floorer liaised about how they might deal with possible issues with the (minimally) raised height of the floor, because of the insulation boards. There were no subsequent problems. John also very kindly returned to walk me through setting the highly complex floor thermostat once the floor had been laid. I found the WhatsApp film he took of me setting the thermostat, and he talking me through every step, very useful indeed. I really appreciated that. The work was to budget and within schedule. I would recommend John.

I had a hole-in-the-wall gas fire installed which initially required two separate visits and liaison with a builder completing an external chimney. John was helpful and knowledgeable from the outset and coordinated effectively with the builder. Due to unforeseen circumstances, it was necessary to change the date for fitting the fire and John was flexible and accommodating. The work was of a very high standard, John cleaned up after himself, leaving everything in very good order and as important the price was exceptionally reasonable. I would highly recommend this company to anyone and based on my positive experience have already scheduled in servicing for the fire as well as the central heating.

As always excellent service from J Childs Mechanical Plumbing Gas Ltd. Booked in for a routine boiler service, I mucked up the dates and due to work commitments couldn't be available for the date originally agreed. They sorted someone to come out to me saving me from rearranging another date and time off work. Thank you. The gentleman who came out to do the service was very polite and the work was done efficiently and quickly.

Can't criticise these people. We had a boiler problem which meant we were without heat, and they fitted us in the next day, which we really appreciated as the weather was cold. The work was done quickly and efficiently, and an option we had to decide upon was explained clearly. Highly recommended.

My boiler broke down on the coldest day of this year, beginning of February and -6c. I had an insurance policy with British Gas and called them only to find that they couldn't come out to take a look until mid March, John Child arrived half an hour after my call. My 20 year old boiler had bit the dust and I needed a new one, which was ordered and fitted all before British Gas could even come out to take a look and for considerably less than they would have charged. This is the third time John Child has come to the rescue, as such I've cancelled my policy with British Gas and will be relying on them for all my plumbing and gas jobs from now on.

I had a drip on the manifold for the underfloor heating. A different heating company wanted to replace the whole manifold unit. I used John as a second opinion. He came around very promptly and decided that a new unit was not necessary. He returned with two small parts, dismantled the leaking joints and replaced half a dozen o-rings. All now perfect for a fraction of the price the other company was going to charge.
