New Boiler
Customer Service
Quality

The customer service from Peter Higson & Co. was second to none. What a lovely company to do business with. The old boiler I inherited at the beginning of Feb after moving into my new house stopped working completely. I called Peter Higson on Monday morning.A survey was completed at lunch time. I received my quote mid afternoon and the work commenced two days later. Peter’s team of engineers were a delight to have in the house… arriving on time, friendly, polite & extremely professional. James, Jack, Ben & Andy all worked very hard to get the house warm again as soon as possible by replacing the old boiler & pipe work. I am absolutely delighted to have found this company & will most definitely recommend them to family, friends & neighbours. Many thanks guys for your professionalism & outstanding customer service service!

Andy and his team have just completed a full rewire of my 2 bedroomed terraced property. From the initial quote, the team were very professional, and open with their pricing and were very easy to deal with. You may find cheaper quotes, however, they will struggle to match the standard of work carried out by the team from Peter Higson & Co

I called Peter Higson who I have known for some years but as I moved out of the area and now returned would not use anyone else. Peter and his team of guys are prompt, very knowledgeable and sorted two issues and serviced the boiler. They were extremely tidy and will definitely be calling on them again and will recommend to friends.

Good job done

I have used this family firm over many years and have always been pleased with the standard of work, the professional attitude of the team, their helpfulness and trustworthiness. This job entailed the rewiring of my house, the removal of a gas fire and the fitting of an electric fire in its place. I was kept informed of progress throughout the whole process and appointments were kept. When the work was finished, the house was left clean and tidy, all rubbish was removed and any snags were dealt with immediately. This may not be the cheapest firm you could find, but it is well worth the money for excellent work, peace of mind that any problems will be dealt with promptly and efficiently, and, most importantly, for the knowledge that this firm can be left to do an honest job in my absence. I can recommend them wholeheartedly.

Peter Higson's ‘crew’ have worked solidly for 3 weeks to deliver me a fabulous bathroom. The men were extremely polite and amazingly cheerful all the time. It was obvious that they are a bonded group who work together really well. They are prompt and very trustworthy. The work carried out is of the highest standard. I was consulted regularly when they had to make decisions- such as the position of door handles. I would highly recommend this company.

Following my boiler breaking, I reached out to Pete who was able to send someone to review my boiler the next working day and install my new boiler the next. I’m very happy and grateful for the work that was completed - it was carried out efficiently and to an extremely high standard. Would definitely recommend.

Gas Boiler Replacement
Customer Service

Our boiler, which was 22 years old and not worth repairing, failed. Peter Higson (Peter Higson Plumbing, Heating, Air Con & Electrical Co Ltd) came around to survey the work needed on 22nd Nov, send a written quote the same day and booked the job in for the 27th Nov. The installation team turned up on time and finished the job within the day. The carpets were refitted, the area was thoroughly vacuumed and left as it was when they arrived. Subsequently, we thought we detected a smell of gas. Mr Higson sent a man around first thing the next morning and thoroughly checked the whole installation for leaks. None were found, but it was very reassuring that we received sure prompt attention.

We had underfloor heating and tiling done by this company. Mark and Tom( tilers) and Andy (electrician) were excellent Mark talked us through the process at the start and explained what they were going to do and how long it would take. We had some issues as our house is very old so none of our walls are straight but Mark and Tom worked a miracle and it looks amazing! The underfloor heating is a joy especially on cold mornings. Highly recommend this company but just make sure you’ve lots of biscuits…..Tom is a big fan of a choccy digestive!

We really appreciate your recommendation and are thrilled you love the results.
