Friendly, helpful, responsive
Tim's team fitted our new boiler two years ago, while we were out of the country, and have serviced it twice since. They communicate well, respond quickly and have done excellent work for us. It is easy to recommend them.

Exceptional Service
I have been using Mycroft Heating & Plumbing Ltd for over nine years for my eight rented apartments in SW London. During this time, MHP Ltd have installed, serviced, repaired and provided Gas Safety Certificate for all these apartment’s gas appliances. What stands out for me is how MHP Ltd goes out of their way to help me in emergencies. They have provided support over countless week ends and evenings when something has gone wrong with the boiler. They will arrange service visits, talk to my tenants over the phone to trouble shoot the issue or even write me email with suggestions on what to do while on their vacations. The technical knowledge of Mr Mycroft is unquestionable, I trust him 100%. Organisational skills of Mrs Mycroft are exceptional (she sends me reminder email reminders for when my boilers are due for servicing). Their fee is reasonable in my opinion and I would recommend MHP to anyone without hesitation.

Professional to a tee
Tim is an excellent heating & plumbing engineer. He fitted a new Combi Condensing Boiler with assorted works. From the outset he was crystal clear what he would do & needed doing daily and he did it. I could ask for nothing more.

Very professional and thorough job
I am extremely happy that Tim was recommended to us. He fixed our long standing boiler issue without a fuss, as well as the immersion heater and he also fixed a water pressure issue we have had for years. He followed all the social distancing protocols including wearing a mask and gloves and was thoroughly professional throughout. The pricing was very reasonable considering we are in a lockdown and as it was an emergency callout. Very happy with the outcome and i would recommend Tim to anyone.

An inefficient heating system greatly improved
Tim Mycroft has been reliably servicing our gas boiler and heating system for some years. After suffering a chilly winter we agreed with him that the time had come to replace our six inefficient radiators and sort out a blockage. On a prior visit he explained precisely what would be involved and followed up with a clear and detailed estimate, frankly covering some uncertainties. He did the job exactly as agreed, to time and to budget, working some long hours and leaving the worksite clean and all rubbish removed. We find this substantial improvement excellent value for money.

Fantastic service for years
The team at Mycroft Heating & Plumbing Ltd are amazing. I have used them for my own home for repairs and annual maintenance and also for annual check for rental properties. I have got great advice abut whether to repair or replace boilers and I am happy for them to deal directly with my tenants as they are totally professional to deal with.

Our boiler stopped igniting. After a bad experience with Brit Gas a few years ago I called Tim after reviewing Which Local. Tim charged about the same as nearby engineers but his service was very good. Tim was professional, organised, courteous and honest. He diagnosed the problem as a faulty printed circuit board and reyruned to replace it as agreed 1st thing the day after next. He took time to explain the problem and also various queries I had on the quirks of our system. I asked him if our boiler needed a service and he said based on a quick review it was't yet required (he could easily have said it was). He also replaced a the fan with a "new" one left a few years previously by Brit Gas. From his laptop he emailed instantly me his invoice and prefers payment by electronic transfer. We would use Tim again and recommend him.

three different men came to check why the water from the hot water taps was only warm and gave three different reasons and quotes. I then made an appointment with Mr Mycroft. When he arrived he spotted the problem quite quickly and fixed it.I shall always use him in future, he is polite and explains clearly what he intends to do. Reasonable charges too.

I used "Which Local" to find a local heating engineer having been completely disillusioned and disappointed by the service from British Gas. Indeed, Tim was quick to point out a potential safety issue re: ventilation that British Gas had never commented upon, and similarly was able to "tune" the boiler settings to burn a more appropriate level of gas (thereby saving me money!). A very professional service (good time keeping, clean and talked me through what needed to be done and more importantly what did not!). Will definitely use Tim again!

Excellent work.
Replacement of hot water cylinder, hot water recirculation pump, one radiator, various replacement parts in boiler, associated modifications and additions to existing pipework. Excellent work. Tim is rightly busy, so one may have to wait for non-urgent work, but he will respond quickly to emergencies.

Tim arrived promptly and gave an accurate estimate of how much the work would cost. He gave two options with varying prices so we felt that he was not trying to fob us off. The work did take a little longer than expected but I would definitely recommend him as an efficient, polite and accomplished trader

Very efficient. Arrived on time.Our Central heating had broken down. He on the phone gave an indication what had gone wrong. He replaced a valve synchron motor which was not functioning. He arrived with the necessary spare part. Would recommend him and will use him again.

Tim came to repair a slight defect with our boiler, he diagnosed the issue over the phone, turned up in time and carried out the repair efficiently. There were absolutely no bad surprises with the bill. I very much recommend his Services, (even if you have to be patient and wait for a day or two for a call back.)

Had a new combi-boiler installed, he did all the work whilst we were on holiday. Really fantastic service, very friendly ex-marketer who retrained with British Gas and set up on his own. The work he carried out was excellent and clean. He even came round to teach me how to set up all the controls.

Tim is a lovely guy who spent a lot of time on the phone talking through possible reasons for the problems with my heating. When he did finally do the first stage of work for me, I was impressed with his honesty and efficiency. However, he has been consistently unreliable in arranging and following up to requests for work and appears highly disorganised. I've been waiting several weeks for an estimate of a larger job from him, even though he assured me he had not forgotten me. Therefore, as nice as he is I have to say that I would avoid him.

Doesn't Follow Through
The first time he visited he could not repair my fireplace which given its age was understandable. However, he promised to get me a quote for a new one in a short period of time. I emailed more than once with no response and he did not return calls. He seemed trustworthy so I waited through the cold winter but not a word...only a £100 bill for the aborted first visit, which I paid. I wrote to him asking why he didn't come through and he said he was busy. Weeks later I got through to him (a miracle) and I arranged for another visit for the fireplace and thought he would come armed for a quote. He didn't. I also asked if he could look at my partly malfunctioning underfloor heating. He said he was an expert on this and would get back to me with a quote. Four weeks later nothing. I'm not inclined to chase him again.He's possibly a good repair guy (I wouldn't know) but he has let me down twice very badly. I would not trust him to do what he says no matter how sincere he appears. Sorry but its a fact. I can't actually believe he's a Which Trusted Trader which I've had good luck with in the past. Oh well.
