I found RJ Mitchell and Son on the Gas Safe Register, as I was looking for a G3 qualified heating engineer who is experienced at installing unvented cylinders and willing to install one in the loft of my house, to replace a gravity-fed system. John Mitchell was just the man for the job and we were very grateful that he was willing to take on the work. He installed a new boiler and the unvented cylinder, with all the new pipework running to and in the loft. He piped in eight new radiators and fitted a water conditioner to reduce limescale throughout the house. All work was done to a high standard and within the timescale originally specified--5 days. The total cost was clearly specified and within the region of what we expected, therefore reasonable to us. As other reviewers have mentioned, John is hardworking, honest, courteous, ably resolves issues when they arise (as they do) and leaves working areas clean and tidy. My husband noted that he must be the best-equipped heating engineer on the planet and it shows in the outcome. His pipework is a work of art in our house. We are delighted with the new, upgraded system, which has been running without any problems since the installation and has turned out to be even better than we expected. Thank you to John and Kim, who is a very able and organised administrator for the business, and the team for all your hard work.

I have nothing but praise for Mitchell & Sons! From the absolute beginning when John Mitchell came to discuss the work to the end when the work was completed, the entire experience was wonderful. John is such an amiable fellow, as is his apprentice Corey..they were a pleasure to have in the house..friendly, courteous, really tidy! and super efficient. John and Corey installed a new central heating system with a new boiler and I'm delighted with it..the boiler is so quiet and the controls easy to use..although that maybe because of the patience John showed to me when explaining how to use it! At the end of each day, they left the house so tidy that you wouldn't know they had been. They showed such respect to my home and nothing was too much trouble. I asked John if he just did big projects and he assured me he does all types of plumbing work which is great news as I will never use another plumbing company...Mitchell & Sons will always get my call. If they were a wine..they would be Crystal Champagne! Kim Mitchell also deserves some praise! Kim runs the admin side of things and that lady is really on the ball. Every query or question I had, I received a reply either immediately or at the latest, the next day. The quote for the work and the invoices were all very clear. So thank you also to Kim for her contribution to the wonderful experience I had!

Very professional service. I am very pleased with my new boiler. Family run business that I totally trust. Very considerate of my house when doing the work and very tidy. Also time taken to show me how to programme and use the new boiler after fitting. Would thoroughly recommend this company.

RJ Mitchell & Son have just completed some major plumbing works at our home. The job was carried out in a most professional and timely manner, John and his team were most courteous and helpful. They left our home each night having cleaned up and even left us fan heaters for the evenings the heating system was off. We are 100% satisfied with the end product, and would not hesitate to recommend this company to any prospective customers.

Renewal of central heating system

The work involved converting an old single pipe system into a modern two pipe system which required the lifting of floor boards throughout the house to lay new pipes. The system also interfaced with a modern solar water heating system. Mitchell's were very professional about assessing the work involved and provided a clear and honest appraisal of the work required. Mitchell's were also very professional about the Covid restrictions in place at the time. The team who installed the system were smartly attired, extremely courteous and were sympathetic to working around the occupants and contents of the house. They kept us fully informed of plans and progress and were very reactive to problems encountered along the way, such that the work was completed ahead of schedule. The new system is working very well and there has been minimal impact on the décor of the house. I would thoroughly recommend R.J. Mitchell and Son Limited.

We're really pleased to have found R.J. Mitchell And Son Limited for this work. A week into using the new system, it's working well and offers a huge improvement. The work was not quite straightforward, especially as the new boiler needed installation in the same very visible position as the previous one, and a replacement flue installed to a new termination and also a new condensate pipe routed to an internal waste pipe. Following a specification and quote and agreeing on a start date, that day arrived, and at the end of the week the resulting installation was complete, tidy, resilient, and of good appearance. During the work, John Mitchell was not thrown by unexpected adversary (think wasps nest behind a header tank, thankfully (mostly) dormant). He pragmatically worked round any problems that might have been presented by an out-of-use gravity circulation system, rendering that safe in a non-destructive way, and he dealt with the setback of discovery of a most uncommon defective part from one of the suppliers - without letting that unduly impact on the work. Even given quality components, the resilience of central heating systems depends in large part on the installer 'Getting it right'. I've high confidence that RJ Mitchell work to this principle. It helps though that they are also pleasant, personable and responsive. In conclusion I'd be very happy to use this firm again, their recently completed work has brought a real improvement in quality of life.

John Mitchell was contacted as our old boiler had finally expired. He arrived at the scheduled time and had a quick look at the system and said that a whole new system wasn't required and could fit a new boiler with the accompanying parts. Unfortunately the work was delayed due to coronavirus. A new date was set and John turned up on time to get on with the job. He is a very good tidy worker and extremely courteous as was the electrician he used to do the wiring. The price was reasonable and the work completed in 4 days. I highly recommend R J Mitchell and Son.

Having been warned that our CH boiler was due for replacement we had a thorough and detailed quote from John which we accepted. Shortly after the boiler fan failed so I contacted John and he quickly confirmed when he could fit a new boiler. Everything was done when he said, and done very tidily with no fuss or bother. And this was during the 'lockdown' so well done indeed.

From the moment John visited my home to view the work required and quote for replacing the 20+ years old boiler I felt confident employing R J Mitchell & Son and so it proved to be. My time table was tight as the bathroom replacement contract was already established and the boiler replacement was completed, as scheduled, the day before. The removal of the existing equipment was completed without disruption or mess to me and the new pipework to the new Combination Boiler is streamlined and as beautiful as plumbing pipework can be. The whole procedure was very impressive indeed and demonstrated their pride in their work and the efficiency of their business. John and his staff were very friendly and considerate at all times and the explanations given were concise and clear. I have no hesitation in recommending the company and look forward to working with them again in the new future.

We had excellent service from the company from the time we first made contact with them. John arrived punctually on the day work was due to begin, and proceeded in a friendly but highly organised way. Everything was kept tidy, and all of John's work was of the highest standard. The boiler installation was completed on time, and without any problems. Plenty of time was allowed by John to go through the new system with us, and to familiarise us with the programmes and controls. Our experience with the company was of excellent service, and all the work done was of the very highest standard.
