Very professional, helpful service. Took time to explain how everything worked. Only slight downside was that tools were left around whilst they weren't there. When you've got toddlers, not ideal.

John came out very quickly for a routine service to our gas boiler. His attitude was very friendly and as far as a non-specialist can tell, the job was done efficiently and the appropriate paperwork completed.

Had lots of work done - new boiler, new shower even came and fixed the burst pipe down at our stable yard.....got absolutely soaked but still smiling! Nothing is too much trouble! Tidy too! Great with my mum who's extremely deaf. Trust to leave in the house alone or give the key to. Can't recommend them highly enough.

We were desperate when our gas fire gave up on us & were overjoyed to have it back as new. Mr Child was the most thorough engineer we have ever had. Would recommend him to anyone & know where to call in the future.

I have used John on several occasions on jobs large and small from new bathroom and new boiler to replacing a leaking radiator. The service has always been good and I cant fault the work, I can just leave him the keys knowing the job is going to be completed professionally. Lee - Welwyn Garden City

John and Ashley did a great job in August replacing a number of radiators in our period property. Not the easiest pipework to negotiate from the previous radiators, and done with patience, care and courtesy. Definitely will use them again!

We have used J Child Mechanical Plumbing for 3 years now. They sent us a reminder re the annual boiler service, which was appreciated. They were very flexible on dates and times, turned up on time and were very professional, efficient and helpful. We are really happy to recommend this trader.

Trust Worthy Trader
John child fitted a kitchen sink for me some years ago which caused me to go to him again this year to fix a plumbing problem and to have fitted a new shower unit on two separate occasions. I cannot praise John Child's company enough for the professional job he does with courtesy at the times he says he will. He is the most efficient trader I have ever used.

I contacted J Child to discuss a boiler service and repair of a leaking toilet. A visit to assess the tasks and provide a quote was quickly arranged and follow up visit to complete the service and repair the toilet was equally straightforward. Quotes were all very clear, the work was completed to a high standard and I would have no hesitation in recommending John. Excellent job by a friendly and efficient team.

We have used John Child Ltd on several previous occasions for smaller jobs and always found him to be reliable and efficient. Therefore, when it came to deciding who to install our new boiler we felt that we could trust him to do a good job. Both installation engineers (including John Child) arrived on time and the work was carried to the agreed schedule and with the minimum of fuss (a rare feat considering the large size and weight of the old boiler they had to remove). Attention to detail was good, from ensuring we knew how to operate the control system and boiler to tidying up at the end of the day. I would definately recommend this company.

On this occasion my boiler was serviced but I have used this company for several years for various things. All aspects of any job have been efficient, honest, cost effective, friendly and punctual. It's nice to be able to use a firm you can trust totally.

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.

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.
