P A Dove Plumbing & Heating Services

Paul did an amazing job replacing our ancient boiler. He took so much time and care to make sure that the boiler was the type we needed and protected our new kitchen as much as possible. We were delighted with the work and he took great care at all times to explain what he was doing. We wouldn't hesitate to have him back in future.

We've been using Paul for our heating and plumbing for over 15 years and he's been great: quick to respond, reliable, conscientious, careful to explain what he's doing and why, and good value. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.

Have used Paul twice now. Both occasions have been excellent. He is efficient, takes time to fully explain what he is doing and he's hugely generous with advice. Have deleted all others from my contacts, no need for others when Paul is around. Truly first class

Responsive to communications, on time, invoice price as quoted, pleasant and communicative/explanatory - what more do you need? Excellent. Thanks Paul

Paul fitted a new boiler for me, explaining everything and ensuring that it all worked fully (including giving the heating system a power flush) before being satisfied himself. He also fitted a Hive for remote control of the heating. This was a bit more tricky as it was one he had not seen before but, again, he made sure (by staying a lot longer and not asking for any more money than the original quote) that the Hive system was working properly and he showed me how to operate it. His communication prior to the work was speedy and he worked tidily and considerately. His charges were very competitive, too. I would not hesitate to recommend him for any plumbing work.

Paul installed a replacement shower fitting. His work was competent, tidy and on time. He clearly explained the situation beforehand and gave clear instructions for obtaining the new tap. I would highly recommend Paul.

Three radiators in our house; in the hall and the front and rear reception rooms have not been working for a number of years. We have had different people in to advise us re this problem and have had many suggested solutions, all very expensive. Paul suggested a power flush, at a very reasonable price. He came in this morning rigged up his gear to the central heating and commenced flushing out the system. He worked non stop, whilst the system was being flushed he did some work on the boiler and emptied the filter next to the boiler. He also put in an inhibitor into the system. Once finished he balanced all the radiators and now the whole house, including the three problem radiators are working and the house is toastie. Paul did a fantastic job and I have no hesitation in recommending him.

I have no hesitation in recommending Paul - he was courteous and helpful on email and the same in person. He was able to identify repairs needed to our downstairs toilet and carry out, install an outside tap with minimum fuss, and explained what we needed to do to avoid issues in winter. He spoke clearly and helpfully on the work he was doing and was realistic about what he was able to complete and how long work would last before repairs were needed - very refreshing.

This was the first time Mr Dove came to us, initially to flush out our radiators and service the boiler. He was professional, friendly and explained what he was doing. He was happy to answer questions and gave us helpful advice. Mr Dove returned to freeze and replace a valve in a radiator and also replace one in our boiler. He fitted some tap heads and replaced a part in our sink. Each time he arrived promptly, was very thorough and tidied up afterwards. I can highly recommend him and next time I need a plumber will definitely be contacting him.

Paul replaced the taps on the bathroom basin and bath and the shower head. He explained the options, and what he was doing during the job, and completed the work to the agreed quote. He also took the trouble to contact the tap manufacturer and arrange for a replacement for the faulty bath taps - this was in his own time and meant a second visit once the replacements arrived. He did a neat and tidy job, and improved the seal around the bath to ensure a watertight seal. Overall a great job and a very pleasant chap - I will call on him again next time I need some plumbing work done.
