Bathroom

Having been recommended to Peter, I asked about a conversion of our bathroom. Neither of us are getting any younger or mobile and it became a necessity to replace the bath with a walk in shower. We received our quote and were happy to proceed. The team turned up on time to start the work en mass. It was a major overhaul . They promptly set about the task and over, roughly, 10 days the conversion was complete much to the delight of myself and my wife. The guys were polite and thorough in their work and attitude also flexible when they came across any problems. All for the cost of tea and biscuits. We added a few upgrades so the cost rose a little but not outwith our budget. We are more than happy to recommend this company and would use them again.

We needed a plumber to undertake the removal of our existing bathroom suite and update and relocate it to another room. We were introduced to Pete by our builder who recommended him. From day 1 Pete has not disappointed, he was punctual for pre-meetings to assess the job, took his time to understand the project and promptly put together a fair quotation. Once we commissioned Pete, he recommended we visit Plumbase. Here we met the equally excellent Jo who helped design and render our dream bathroom with a fully tiled shower, half tiled walls and under floor heating. Once ready, Pete’s team led by Mark started the job. Mark is personable, hard working and also excellent at communicating, he’s a very good tiler and plumber. Alongside Mark there is James, another talented plumber and Andy a very knowledgable electrician. Pete also has a few apprentices on his books which is great to see. They all work together seamlessly to get the job done. Mark is always on hand to take your call, answer any questions and importantly look to fix any issues that have emerged during the job. The team completed the job much quicker than we were expecting and ensured the space was left clean and tidy. There were a couple things we needed changing post-completion but the team have quickly sorted these out with no problems. Overall we are highly satisfied by the work the team have undertaken and cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you Pete!

My boiler was serviced by British Gas and then Corgi, but communication proved increasingly difficult. The difference with Peter Higson was that a real person answered the phone, we agreed a service date two days later, the guys turned up at the time agreed and did a very thorough and professional job. I subsequently needed advice and Peter could not have been more helpful in a fairly lengthy conversation. They will be my first port of call for all my plumbing needs in future.

I discovered a leak on the central heating boiler at my Mothers house. I contacted Peter Higson to ask for advice. Peter told me how to isolate the water to the boiler and explained to me that as the boiler was over 18 years old it would be a good idea to replace it. I agreed with this and the work started within 24 hours. On final inspection of the works I can confirm that the works were carried out to a high standard and that the engineers left my Mothers property in an immaculate condition. I cant thank them enough. I would highly recommend Peter Higson & Co Ltd to anybody seeking any kind of plumbing or heating works.

Peter agreed the schedule and budget and liaised with us throughout the job as we were having damp work done by different contractors at the same time. The work was done to budget and as discussed by Peter at the initial visit. Ben and Jack replaced the shower door and did a good job, communicating with us throughout.

I have used the Services of Peter Higson & Co for almost 20 years & over that timeI found any work carried out by them to be of a high standard. For example the Compnay installed a New Shower Room in the mid 2,000s & (Shhhh, hope I`m not a hostage to fortune) ) so far not a single problem. The Annual Servicing of the Heating Boiler & System is carried out so far as I can see with efficiency. Thank you to Peter Higson & his Colleagues for all their support over the years.

Peter Higson and his team were great to deal with throughout the whole process from initial survey to final completion. The advice given was informative and the men were very efficient and courteous. The work started on time, was finished quickly and everything was left clean and tidy. Also, they were happy to explain and clarify things as the work progressed. We were extremely please with how it all went and have no hesitation in recommending the company. They were first-class and the standard of work is excellent.

I texted at 08.15 about a problem in an en suite bathroom which meant I had to keep switching the water off and had a reply within 30 mins which gave a quote for the work and 2 scheduling options , one within 3 hours Jack and James phoned ahead and arrived at the time agreed that same day. They assessed the issue and explained what needed replacing. At my request we also discussed additional safety options that could be introduced for my peace of mind and agreed on one that would be completed at the same time The work was completed once they had sourced the parts - only took them 30 mins to purchase the parts. Jack and James were very professional and personable , they explained everything to me and left the bathroom clean and tidy I felt that the invoice was reasonable for the work that was completed in the time scale it was completed

Installation of new boiler: removal of old boiler, fitting new piping and installing boiler. From first to last Peter and his team worked to the highest standards. The work was carried out quickly and efficiently. The team were good humoured, careful. helpful and communicative throughout the job. Little touches like automatically wearing overshoes when moving round the house exemplified the attention to customer satisfaction. The work site was kept tidy during the work and left in an excellent condition on completion. I couldn't be more pleased.

I contacted Peter Higson & Co Ltd regarding a radiator valve that was leaking and to conduct an annual boiler service. They quickly and accurately assessed the problem with the radiator and fitted new valves. The service was excellent, they were very polite and completed the work with care and attention. I am very happy with the new radiator valves and there is no more leaking. The radiator is over 10 years old and they were able to source valves very similar to the original ones and which suited the design of the radiator.

Excellent Plumber: Central Heating Boiler
Customer Service
Quality

I visited an empty house that I am selling and discovered that the central heating boiler was not working. Being the coldest day of the year this was obviously a big problem. Plus, I live 150 miles from the house. And was only in the area for 2 days. Luckily, a family member who lives locally recommended Peter to me. From the first phone call Peter was helpful, friendly and polite. He organised a visit for the next day to determine the problem. Ben, one of his team, met me at the house as planned. He discovered that the heat exchange pump had split. It was an old boiler so we decided that the only option would be a replacement. Peter phoned me that evening with a recommendation of the boiler I should go for, a quote for doing the job and said that he could fit the boiler within the week. It was such a relief to know that I could return home and leave the house in safe hands. Peter was as good as his promise. He picked up the keys for the house. Fitted the boiler on the scheduled day. And then returned the keys to the Agent. He set the boiler controls to ensure that the whole house would be heated to the correct levels. I've been today to check the work. It is excellent. And no mess anywhere. I would definitely recommend Peter and his team.

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!

Gas Boiler Replacement

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.
