I have used Peter for various jobs - fitting new radiators, and most recently boiler servicing. He has also done work (new boiler, radiators & pipework) for my parents on my recommendation who were also delighted with the job that was done. Whole process from quoting to invoicing and all communication is professional, quick and efficient. Appointments are kept and often have been in advance of original date as they will always endeavour to fit you in if sooner if they can. Standard of work is excellent with work clearly explained and sensible advice offered before, during and after the job is done. Everywhere is always kept neat and tidy as the work progresses and is left clean at the end. Peter is always really helpful and goes the extra mile to get jobs completed to a very high standard. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using in future for all plumbing/heating work and have already requested quote for new bathroom.

Peter has done a lot of plumbing in our house over the last twenty years. He has been involved in several projects here including building two new bathrooms in that time and most recently installed a new bedroom radiator. His work is of a very high standard. He is reliable and approachable with any concerns. He is prompt and completes the work within the agreed time scale. I have been able to contact him easily if necessary for any advice after a project is finished.

We cannot recommend and thank Peter and his colleague enough. A lovely gentleman and has done an incredible job for us. We were having building work done and our builders walked out on us before Christmas leaving us in a very difficult position with a desperate need of a wide array of plumbing requirements. Peter was so kind and accommodating and has done plumbing work to our kitchen, utility room, bathrooms, radiators, boiler and external drains to a very very high standard. Thanks to him we have a home to move back in to. Thank you.

I contacted PH after passing by their van in Altrincham. The process of getting a quote was very smooth and Peter was very polite and understanding. Once quoted and we agreed, the work was carried out. The team was highly professional in explaining what they were going to carry out and they did it without leaving any mess. Peter would also advise on progress and ensured the work was done with superb finish. I have since used PH twice and have not been disappointed. Very trusted also and everything was put into place after they finished. Quotation process is very straight forward. Highly recommended.

Peter and James recently replaced an old boiler. Peter kept me updated about the start date and his communication has been excellent throughout. The work was carried out with minimum disruption and they left no mess. They were punctual, courteous and professional, and I would have no hesitation in recommending the company.

Over the years we've had Peter do a number of jobs for us. He has replaced and performed annual maintenance on our central heating system and done a number of smaller plumbing jobs. Peter always provides a quote and agrees dates before starting any work and keeps to those dates. In some cases he has called and actually began the work earlier than expected. His workmanship is top quality and he always removes any rubbish at the end of the job.

Old gas boiler replaced with new gas boiler, removed all old radiators ., replaced with new radiators (total 7). Replaced kitchen sink mixer tap, supplied and fitted new bath panel and new shower hose, carried out electrical work, fitted new thermostat and new consumer unit. Also some remedial plaster work. Supplied complete itemised estimate of work prior, prompt start and completion of work, advice given to us on any enquiry we asked about, but did not place any pressure us to have any extra work done. Placed on annual service. I fully recommend Mr Peter Higson and his company.

Replacement of uneconomical to repair combi boiler . Peter Higson chosen from a approved supplier list from the domestic and general warranty scheme for replacement boilers . Peter higson has been excellent from start to finish. Made contact within the hour to view the required job and has provided a first class service throughout from installation to clearing up after completing the work . Whilst they are not the cheapest I was happy to pay for many years of experience and expertise to ensure a professional job was done . The old adage ? you get what you pay for ? comes to mind . They ensured all was working correctly with the boiler and would not leave until a wifi connection to the boiler was working properly . Peter and his co worker James were pleasant and courteous throughout the time they were on site and answered any questions we had on the work being carried out I would have no reservations in recommending them .
