N C Plumbing & Heating

Contacted this plumber after reading his excellent reviews and he did not disappoint. He replied very promptly and was able to do the job the next day. Originally required a leaking kitchen cold tap fixed but was advised and shown the hot tap also had a slow leak. It was no trouble for him to fix this also as well as installing in-line shut off valves and an extra mounting washer on each tap - his opinion was that the taps were looser than desired and this could have led to the leak. Overall I am extremely pleased with the work done and the very reasonable cost. It was a surprise to find a plumber willing to do such a necessary but small and fiddly job as previous experience suggested that they prefer larger and more lucrative work.

Excellent job. Nick was both knowledgeable and approachable and discussed issues arising with us as work progressed. He left the room clean and tidy and his invoice met our expectations.

Installed new boiler smart thermostat to price agreed in advance. I have been using Nick for many years, he often goes above expectations. On this job, he was able to fix some old wiring issues whilst fitting the new thermostat, with no additional charge. He always clearly explains what he’s doing and is very knowledgable in his field.

Nick installed a gas cooker for me a few years ago, then repaired our old combi boiler and now, on a 3rd visit, I asked him to finally replace the old boiler. He has always been punctual, professional and his work tidy. No hidden surprises or charges. The boiler replacement took him a lot longer than he anticipated, given that the previous installation was likely done by a DIYer, yet he persevered, tidied up whatever he could as he went along and he didn't charge anything additionally. When he installed the flue on the outside wall, he patched up a crack in our render, even though it was there previously. Recommended!

We had a problem with our boiler whereby we had to top up the system pressure twice a day. I found Nicks number and called him. I explained the issue and unexpectedly he said “I will try to get to you today or tomorrow, send me your details and I will message you to let you know when I can make it.” Sure enough he messaged me and informed me he was on his way. When he arrived he went straight to the job. He took care and laid our sheets to avoid any mess. Once he had identified the problem, he showed us and explained it to us. We were quite surprised at the build up in the expansion tank. He cleaned it all out and replaced a new part as well as checking everything out after. What he charged us for the work was a pleasant surprise, we thought it could’ve easily been more but it was very fair. I would have no hesitation in recommending Nick to anyone who needs a good gas safe plumber. He was excellent.

Nick came around promptly to look at the job of replacing my old heating system with new radiators and flow-and-return pipework. He gave me a very reasonable quotation. Work commenced shortly afterwards. He arrived when he said he would and did a magnificent job in difficult circumstances as the house was fully furnished and work conditions were not ideal. He cleared up after himself as the job progressed so made minimal mess. He replaced flooring and furniture so you wouldn't have known he had been here. He and his right hand man did a professional job with good humour and were a pleasure to have in the house. They worked efficiently and with enthusiasm. This is the second time I have used this company and I would thoroughly recommend it.

Nick arrived, as usual, on time & carried out his work diligently & professionally. The timer on my boiler had stopped working & Nick promptly came out, after only visiting a few months prior for the yearly boiler check, to fix the issue. In the space of a few hours, he disconnected the old timer & thermostat, replacing it with a new IR timer & thermostat, which I am now able to keep in the living room, giving much better control over the temperature in there! Not only is he great at what he does, but he's also honest, polite & friendly which goes a long way in my book.

Nick was very efficient, punctual and kept us informed of all the work being done. The end price matched the original quote and the work done was thorough and very impressive. We would use N C Plumbing again in future.
