Paul has done big and small jobs from fixing a leaking radiator to fitting a new boiler. He doesn't waste your time and gets the job done quickly especially when it is a potential plumbing emergency. He's been friendly and reliable over a number of jobs and years so always return to Paul in case of any plumbing problems.

Paul was easy to contact and deal with. He arrived promptly and his skills and attention to detail were immediately evident. Paul was excellent at communicating what was being done and very clear on pricing, As a part needed replacing a further day’s attendance was needed but Paul stayed in contact throughout provided some useful guidance and went above and beyond when inspecting other parts of the central heating and hot water system. A very helpful and competent tradesman.

Paul completed a plumbing repair and then installed a new boiler and flushed existing radiators. He was prompt to reply and met the timings and price quotations. All the work was professional and clean. He also did a couple of extra bits that he noticed in my house, for no extra charge while he was draining the radiators. He listened to my priorities and set the boiler to it's most energy-efficient setting and also helped me to save money and resources by cleaning the radiators, rather than replacing them (which I had previously thought I would need to do). Aside from the work itself, he was really careful to minimise disruption to the pets and very easy to have around the house. I would not hesitate to recommend Paul to others, as he is incredibly experienced, trustworthy and kind.

Paul Dove gets on with the job and works quickly and thoroughly. He arrived 5 minutes early. He knows what he is doing, he puts down plenty of dustsheets, no drips of water appeared where they shouldn't have done. All the time he is pleasant and cheerful and a pleasure to have in the house. He kept to his budget. This was our first encounter and won't be the last. He is an outstanding professional.

Paul replaced the 2 shower flow cartridges to our 15 year old Trevi thermostatic shower. When I explained the problem to him via email, he was immediately able to tell us which parts to order from Trevi. He also told me how much we could expect to pay, and how long it should take him to resolve the problem. As soon as the parts arrived, I contacted him again and we agreed on a date for the work to be carried out. Paul arrived at the appointed time and was very quick and efficient in replacing the cartridges. He explained in detail what he was doing and why, and he checked everything was in good working order once the job was completed. The time he took to do the job and the price charged were exactly as he had originally indicated. Paul was very thorough, very efficient, very knowledgeable and provided an excellent service. I would definitely recommend P A Dove Plumbing and Heating Services.

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.

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.

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.

Paul dealt with two separate jobs for me earlier this month. One was to service the boiler, recharge the expansion vessel and look over the problems I had described. He responded quickly to my email and provided a quote that I was happy with. A week later, Paul dealt with a washing machine/sink leak and blockage issue. He also gave me advice and quoted on a future radiator job I was considering. On both occasions, Paul turned up on time, gave good, practical advice, explained clearly what he was doing throughout and provided reasonable quotes. He is friendly, polite and is mindful not to undertake unnecessary work. Although I was using a plumber I have not used before, I felt I could trust him and as a result will definitely give Paul a call when the boiler needs its next service or if I need a quote for any other plumbing jobs. I have no hesitation in recommending his work to others.

I've finally got around to writing this review after using Paul back in Feb / Mar 2016. He was really nice, worked quickly, carefully and professionally. I had 2 jobs: cap off and remove 2 unwanted gas pipes from the meter to old fires / kitchen and freeze and cap off an old central heating spur in a full system. He was able to fit both jobs in within the hour so no extra cost (I'm glad I waited until I had 2 things to do at the same time). He gave me some really good advice on my house's plumbing and was a pleasure to deal with. I will certainly contact him first if I have any jobs I need a professional for and wholeheartedly recommend him to others.

Paul removed an old cold water tank in the loft and replaced it with a new one. It wasn't easy since the old tank was larger than the loft hatch so it had to be cut out and the new one had to be a different shape so he could get it into the loft after removing the loft ladder (which got in the way). Paul noted pipework between old tank and overflow pipe was not connected. At the end of it all, I now have nicely connected, cold water tank, free of air locks (thanks to Paul's efforts) and reconnected loft ladder. Paul phoned up a day or two later, just to make sure there were no more air locks and that I was content. I will employ him again if the need arises. Very good service.

Paul Dove is a terrific plumber and did everything he could to keep our old boiler going.

All done efficiently, professionally and punctually, takes care to clean up properly and charges fair rates. Plus he gives good advice on other jobs that may need doing in the future. He is top of my dialling list if I want a job done right.

Boiler broke at 6pm on a Bank Holiday and I phoned Paul not long before 7pm. He was courteous and offered to shuffle his appointments on the Tuesday so he could come round first thing. He arrived promptly at 8:30 and was able to diagnose the problem quickly (even on an unfamiliar boiler) and having phoned around to order the part, went and picked it up, fitted it and tidied up within 90 mins. Very impressive and not bad value in my opinion. Would recommend and would use again.

Paul moved pipework for two radiators for us and I was pretty happy with what he did, apart from the price charged seemed pretty steep. Paul had said he didn't 'quote' for such small jobs, but charged £65 an hour and he reckoned it would take 3 hours - so we were expecting to pay around £195, which was the middle quote we had gotten and so we went with it. However, the job was more 'complicated' than he thought and he hadn't told us that materials were extra (maybe I should have asked). Total cost £291 for around 4 hours work in the end. Seems pretty steep to me. Additionally, the platerer that followed him commented that the work done on the pipes seemed very odd and it could have been done differently to hide them better. Not sure whether true, but all in all, I don't think the service received was 5 stars.

Very efficient and clean work in a confined space to repair a toilet flush which had never worked properly before and all at a very fair price. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Came at the times arranged to fix slow-filling wc cistern ( which involved drilling a new bottom entry, expertly and tidily accomplished!) and leaking pipes under the sink. He matches his competitive charges to the exact time he takes rather than charging complete hours irrespective. He also offerred advice on insulation for the boiler condensate pipe. I happily and wholeheartedly endorse other Which? local recommendations and will continue to call upon his services for any plumbing and heating problems.

I asked Paul to replace a shower unit which he did efficiently and courteously.He called back when he said he would and did the job when he said he would. Excellent.

I called this plumber in to rectify a problem with a slow filling lavatory cistern. He tried simple solutions first and was very helpful, returning for a second visit when the easy options didn't bring enough improvement. His charges were very reasonable. I will certainly use him again.

I cannot find fault with Paul so far (he did our first job this morning). He was punctual and whistled through the job (literally and in terms of time). His rate was extremely reasonable, and he gave us advice on a couple of unrelated matters. I will certainly use him whenever we need a plumber from now on.

Cannot recommend highly enough _ early appointment at short notice to do a small job (leaking stop cock). Punctual, quick, conscientious, nice bloke, no complaints about payment by cheque. Small job but done to high standard. Will definitely use again.

I have used this plumber for the annual service on my boiler & other plumbing jobs for the last ten years. He is 100% reliable & conciencious.
