We had nine solar panels installed to three faces of our roof by NCS Property Maintenance in August 2022. We chose them because they had very successfully installed an air source pump, water tank/immersion heater, radiators etc in our house a couple of months before. The scaffolding was erected without any problems and the installers carried out the work quickly and efficiently. We were very pleased with the whole process. NCS Property Maintenance are also very responsive and have visited us a few times to help me get the best from our system. I highly recommend them.

An amazing and prompt job from start to finish. From placing the order on line with Worcester, through to dealings with the company selected to install the boiler and then the installation, everything was spot on, even in extreme temperatures, the boiler was fitted in the fully insulated loft. You’d never known they’d been. Would one hundred percent recommend NCS. Professional from the start with a courtesy follow up call afterwards

It has taken this company just over four weeks following my enquiry over an oil fired boiler replacement, to inspect, advise and provide a detailed written quotation, then to install. This was not an easy installation but superbly dealt with, and left so neat and tidy. An impeccable service all of which could not have been more helpful, courteous and professional. It has been a pleasure to deal with all concerned and I am a one hundred percent satisfied customer.

I used NCS to install a new combi boiler after my old boiler had broken. Martin arrived promptly to give a thorough survey of my house. He suggested the best solution to replace the old heating system, taking into account the age of the property and limited space available. The quote arrived the same day, and I was happy to go ahead with the work. The fitters, Richard and Tony, were amazing! They arrived punctually, worked efficiently and completed the job on time. They were always cheerful and cleaned up everything. Great service throughout including communication from the office. Thank you!

Boiler installation

The boiler was installed well and to an agreed price. The work was, however, considerably less than originally quoted. The company agreed to install a new tap free of charge. They sent two engineers, one of whom went at 11am. I was told the remaining engineer, who left at 4pm, didn't have time to install the tap and the company then said that they wanted an additional 2 hour call out charge to do the work, even though the on line video would suggest its a 10 minute job.

The trader replied (on 22/07/2021)
Hello, Thank you for your review. We have reviewed all files and notes for your job and can confirm that we did carry out all works that were quoted for. Our original estimate did not include installation of a tap. However, we can see it was agreed that if the engineer had time whilst on site, he would change the tap for you at no additional cost as a gesture of good will. This was never guaranteed and was always subject to timing. Unfortunately, it was not as straight forward as first anticipated and we apologise that the engineer did not have time to complete this for you. On the day of installation, we sent one engineer and assistance to complete the works. Our work schedule allows for one engineer to be on site to carry out all necessary works quoted for with assistance when required throughout the day. We are sorry to hear that you are not completely satisfied with the service as we always aim for complete customer satisfaction. If you wish to discuss this further then please do not hesitate to contact us. Regards
Oil Fired Boiler replacement - professional work in specified time
Customer Service
Quality
Value
NCS have been prompt, professional and extremely helpful in responding to all queries I made between the initial site survey and completing the work. All questions answered promptly with good, clear supporting explanations. I had site surveys carried out by 5 potential suppliers/installers, 1 could not do the work as they had misunderstood and only worked with Gas boilers, this despite advising it was an Oil Fired installation. 1, sadly a common occurrence these days, spent 45 minutes on site, explained how they would do the work and then never quoted. 1 never provided a Quote or answered some questions I had. The only other one to actually Quote initially did not provide an "apples for apples" comparison, that I had requested, for two manufacturers, on querying they corrected and although also prompt and professional, were ultimately more expensive, even for their preferred manufacturer and had shorter warranty period.

My experience of NCS has been absolutely amazing. From my first enquiry, followed by a survey, then response to my queries and finally the installation was superb. The whole team were so very friendly, knowledgeable and supportive. It is always a worry when appointing a contractor for something as big as a boiler installation but from the outset I felt comfortable with NCS and this confidence continued through all steps. I would whole heartedly recommend them and would have no hesitation in using them again.

Customer Service
Quality
Value
17th March works began to remove my Back Boiler and install a Combi Boiler, I used this company as I received a Grant towards the cost but wish I had never used them. The 2 day job became 3 but after they left my house, boy was it a mess! They left live electrics that should have been removed, they wired a new boiler into a 50yr old box which hadn’t been used for years. They left a 6 ft wire dangling in the under stairs. They left a pipe with a hole in it in the fireplace so I had a leak and so we had very little water pressure in the new boiler and had to top up the boiler several times a day. The Condenser pipe was put on incorrectly so the base place wouldn’t go on, plus the pipe was covered in dirty glue. The Condenser pipe insulation was so badly put on it looked 10yrs old. The new gas pip put in from the gas box itself (although functional) was so badly cut and angled it was astounding! They lost the only double glazed window key to a window that opened to a flat roof so I could not lock the window. Small flood in kitchen x2 so had to dry rugs out, they damaged an old pipe and radiator and I had to pay them for a new radiator! They didn’t clean up at all behind themselves including lumps of solder stuck to floors, patio slabs (gas pipe had to go outside) and it took us days to clean up. They sent out man to look at work & he agreed to come back and re do works which was completed 15th April but in all took 30 days to finally get finished.

The trader replied (on 22/04/2021)
We are extremely sorry that your installation did not go according to plan – it is true that the job overran into a 3rd day, but this was due to unforeseen installation issues (and that engineer had his van broken into and all his tools stolen), nonetheless we ensured that you were not charged for this. You have listed several installation issues, which we believe are an exaggeration of the truth. We would like to take this opportunity to reiterate a few facts. The leaks in the kitchen were from an existing radiator pipework which, even when surveyed, was in quite a poor condition – having signs of scale and previous leakage, although not leaking at the time. Unfortunately, when changing from an old back boiler system to a combi system the central heating system is now under pressure, this coupled with the flushing of the system may have loosened scale or paint that was sealing the pinhole. Nevertheless, we replaced this radiator for you at material nett cost only. Similarly, the engineers that attended could not say with any certainty that they had or had not used a window key, but they had opened the window – as such, we ordered and replaced the window handle with a new handle and key free of charge. We apologise for any mess that was not cleared up by our engineers, this is very out of character for them. I would disagree that the installation took 30 days to complete, the boiler was completed after 3, the final snagging items (window handle etc) was completed later.

I applied for a government grant and was then directed to NCS. Dawn was very professional yet lighthearted and a joy to deal with. She handled the process with DWP and kept me informed throughout. The surveyor was prompt and we were kept updated on his eta. Very courteous and professional again. The engineers were in the same mould, made very little mess and after they left you would not have known they had been here. The work was quicker than I thought it would be, considering the awkward position of the boiler. The condensate pipe was in an impossible place because of other work we previously had carried out, making access very difficult to reach. No problem for them though, they just got on and did it, no moaning or whinging, no bad language, just cool calm and collected. I would have thought this was a small family run business in the way they all acted. Seemed like personal service to me, as though I was someone special. Great service

From quote to completion I can find no fault with any of the components. NCS was cheapest, quickest, most helpful and professional. Additional/repeat consultation to discuss work was done immediately, there was virtually no lead time to do the work, and it was completed well within the projected time frame. The work was carried out in a most professional, efficient and neat manner, and there was no need to tweak, discuss or adjust anything during the installation. Everything that was discussed was executed very well, including advice given after the installation for various aspects of operation and maintenance.

I honestly could not be happier about the service provided by NCS. Full heating and hot water install on my first home which had neither. All new radiators. Price was incredibly competative and the team they sent were friendly and professional throughout. I was expecting quite a lot of damage to the property (floors etc) due to the nature of the job and the installers went above and beyond to ensure there was little to no damage to walls or floors. I have already reccomended them to my neighbours and a family member! Would definately use again if I need their help.

NCS were part of 4 companies that quoted to install a new condensing boiler in our home. Their quote was prompt, thorough and came out cheapest. Once we accepted the quote, they were able to do the work within a week. On installation day two engineers and an apprentice turned up on time. They were very polite and friendly. The work was carried out efficiently and professionally and was finished by mid afternoon (earlier than expected). Everything was tidied up, and all rubbish removed. So far - no problems at all

My managing agents have been using NCS for small works at my place. Having dumped the managing agents and gone through the works NCS has completed in the past few years, I feel that it is actually sub-standard work that is not value for money. The company who has now refurbished the place taken before and after photos and all speak for itself. I guess NCS is an OK company but if you want something beyond OK and value for money, look somewhere else.

Any minor problems we have had since installation have been dealt with swiftly and efficiently.
