Boiler and Cylinder Service
I have used LVG previously, but for the last 2 years another company serviced my boiler. Since they couldn't book me in until next January, I tried LVG again. It made me realise I should have used Lee all the time. Obviously, I can't comment on the actual work since I'm not an engineer, but Lee does inspire confidence and was very conscientious in ensuring that everything worked properly and efficiently. I would recommend him and will use him again.

Brilliant knowledgeable and efficient. Cost saving and excellent workmanship. Lee is great. Explains everything at length. Very satisfied.
Lee was excellent. Worked over the weekend to complete the work. Really satisfied. Even helped with extra work like guttering. A completely new inverted pressurised indirect 200L cylinder was installed in the loft with the old cylinder removed from the airing cupboard. Took lots of work and completed on time. I would recommend Lee any time for all plumbing work.

Efficient and thorough
I first used LVG for an emergency call out for a gas leak a few weeks ago. This morning LVG serviced our boiler and did a gas safety report for us. Was very thorough and reassured that whilst our combi boiler maybe ageing, nothing needs repair or replacing, so no needless expense. The advice, keep the boiler until parts become unavailable. I’m happy with the service.

Endorsement Reference
Latest experience with Lee was due to a problem with a Carbon Monoxide detector that had resulted in the Gas supplier shutting off the gas. Lee attended very promptly thoroughly checked all appliances, identified the fault . ( Boiler flue blocked by overgrowth from next door) and restored the Gas supply. In addition he replaced the CO detector at my request. We have used Lee regularly for over the last 10 years. The first instance was for a boiler replacement for an ageing relative and he has since replaced our boiler. He has also provided ongoing annual service and support for the boiler and associated plumbing systems to a high standard. Lee has always provided quick responses to any of my calls or enquiries whether by email or phone and will always do his best to respond to call outs and emergencies even on systems he has not installed.

I thought I might have needed new radiators as they are 40 years old, trader came, looked around, no pressure - Said they would be fine and would just need flushing through with inhibitor. Very quick, efficient, explained what he was doing all the time. Everything left clean and tidy. I would recommend

Excellent service
I contacted LVG with an urgent job (and a less-urgent follow-up task), and Lee set everything right in a friendly, helpful and — most importantly — reliable manner. He came exactly when he said he’d come, and he did all the jobs efficiently and well. He managed to help me clear a stressful situation with a minimum of fuss. I’m glad to have found him and will certainly be using again in the future (though I hope I don’t have any plumbing problems for a long time!).

Great work
I was asked by my boiler insurance company to get radiators power flushed luckily having knowledge of the property Lee contacted me immediately and advised not to do that as the pipes on radiators were too small and could cause further damage to property he then gave a quote to have them cleaned individually and did a great job which took longer than he thought but price remained the same very informative.

MISCELLANEOUS PLUMBING WORK
I had several various issues with my plumbing in a house I rent out. Lee was very direct and comprehensive in his assessment of my issues and talked me through the need and requirements of all the various problems. We both accepted that due to the complexities of the work he could only offer me a quote based on the hours it took and to trust him that he would work efficiently. I accepted this. The work was completed ahead of the expected time schedule and a comprehensive check of the completed work was carried out together, with thorough explanations of the work that had been done. Lee is very professional in his work methods and imparts a craftsman's knowledge of his trade to the customer which makes him a reliable and trustworthy tradesman.

New LPG boiler installation
Lee has kept my troublesome Ferolli Boiler going for some years, but last Thursday it broke down again and he advised me to replace it. He was able to get it working temporarily. He swiftly produced a detailed quote, which I accepted and the installation started on 2nd Feb and completed on the 4th. He and Will worked very hard with early starts and late finishes. I now have a fully functioning system plus 5 new radiators.

Lee of LVG once again provided an excellent service, right to the point only carrying out what was required rather than let the customer undergo unnecessary expenditure by buying items for the plant not requiring replacement. Work carried out in a timely manner, professionally and did what was required, no wastage. Cost-effective as in no extras etc. I would recommend Lee and his team to anyone that requires expert, professional and efficient service. Thank you Lee & LVG.

Lee kindly undertook a service of our gas boiler at very short notice when a non specialist general service company could not carry out a routine service. Lee was very professional, prompt and thorough, and we will certainly use his team in the future. He used Covid PPE correctly, and left the place spotlessly clean.

New Boiler system
From start to finish I would highly recommend Lee (LVG). Lee came round to assess the job and gave us a quote. This was a fixed price. A few days before the work was due to commence he sent a schedule of works confirming the work he would undertake. On the planned day he arrived (with his colleagues) on time and commenced converting a two boiler system into one. This not only required replacing the two existing boilers but also much of old pipe work some of which had been installed with the wrong type of pipe (copper not plastic). The work was finished to time and all the necessary checks were undertaken. They were tidy workers and everything was cleaned up. I was so pleased with the work that I asked Lee to change a leaky tap and sort out a couple of long standing issues with toilets in the house. I would definetly recommend LVG for all boiler and plumbing jobs and have put him on speed dial for any future work I might need. Great job.

Work carried out to my mothers heating system
I found LVG Plumbing via Trust a Trader and booked Lee for a quote after seeing his 5 star reviews. He gave me a quote and was able to start work within a couple of days. Lee worked very hard over the next few days to get the problem solved. He was very hardworking and stayed past his quoted time for the job. He had to return to do a power flush to fully unblock the system which again he attended quickly and stayed past his quoted hours to get the job done due to unforseen problems with the system. Lee has since attended several times at no extra cost to empty the magnaclean to remove sludge that the cleaner he put in the system had dislodged as my mother is 90 years old and unable to do it herself. LVG is thoroughly recommended.

Quality Plumbing Works from a Good Service Provider
LVG Plumbing and Heating ("LVG") undertook works to remedy "water hammering" within the kitchen mains cold water pipes and subsequently (at my request) to replace the waste water pipes and connections to the kitchen sink and washing machine. For both jobs: I was given a detailed explanation of the likely cause of the problem; a remedial works plan; and a detailed price in writing. The estimated price was reasonable and not exceed. Again on both occasions: LVG arrived at the agreed time; undertook the work in a professional manner; were very thorough - ensuring all elements of the associated plumbing were satisfactory too; LVG used good quality materials; when finished Lee explained what had been done; and showed us the work undertaken to ensure we were satisfied. Before leaving they cleaned up any mess. Throughout the period Lee was easy to get hold of and communicated well so that we had a high confidence he would undertake the works at the time agreed. The remedial works still look good (three weeks later) and the water hammering and waste water problem both seem to have been cured. In any case LVG have provided a 1 year warranty on all the works they undertook.

A really thorough job which made my home warmer and more comfortable.
My eight radiators were 30 years old, with noisy room thermostats, all connected to a more recent combo boiler. LVG replaced the upstairs rads on the first day and reconnected them so that I had heat overnight. The next day the downstairs ones were replaced, the radiators balanced, the boiler serviced for free (and more expertly than previous services), leaving me with a quieter and cleaner house. An extra was the installation of a wireless main thermostat. When there was a possible problem with the wiring, requiring an electrician, Lee quickly located one he knew, brought him to my house two days later, went out on his motor-bike to acquire the correct device and it was all installed in one morning. All at a very favourable price!

LVG came to our rescue when British Gas condemned our boiler as they were unable to get spares. LVG arrived an hour later and got the ideal boiler working and side within about 45 minutes. Mr Varney came back the following week to fully service the boiler and install 3 radiators. His work on both counts was excellent, the result being a boiler working at 92% efficiency better than the previous 10 years. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

Contacted LVG Plumbing & Heating for a problem with an LPG boiler. From the start I was impressed with the thorough way Lee discussed the problem over the phone. He provided an estimate for the job (which was completely accurate on the day) and offered to come out the same day - in fact the next day suited me better and he was able to do that - so I was impressed with the prompt and flexible service. On arrival Lee diagnosed the problem quickly and discussed and demonstrated what he was doing to put it right throughout the job. Diagnostic testing at the end of the job was also very reassuring. Lee is friendly, very knowledgeable and I appreciated the advice he was able to give on all aspects of the heating system. He also goes the extra mile to save on unnecessary expense based on his comprehensive professional knowledge. Lee and his assistant Billy cleaned as they went along so there was no mess left. I was very satisfied with the work done. An excellent service - highly recommended.

Life saver by phone call - boiler troubles!
After becoming a homeowner only 9 days ago, I was devastated today to find no hot water and cold radiators. Noticing a fault code on the boiler and having no idea what to do, a quick Google brought me to LVG via Facebook. Lee talked me through the problem by phone and resolved the matter without even coming out "I don't want to charge you for something that can be fixed easily". Life saver!!! It's great to find a tradesman who is simply there to do a good job and help people, and isn't about ruthless financial gain. At a time when I needed it most, I was given a friendly and helpful service by a trustworthy and knowledgeable expert.
