The Very Best
We had accumulated 6 jobs, two of which were unusual and required ingenuity to fix. A third was the annual servicing of the central heating system. Mr Hicks arrived on time, assessed the work required in a methodical and professional way and proceeded without fuss to complete the tasks as scheduled. His charges were most reasonable. I rate MR Hicks as 5 Star in all categories and strongly recommend his to anyone wanting a professional to do their work.

Professional & thorough
Russell carried out a very thorough and professional service of our boiler. He did a methodical job and identified a few issues concerning previous work. He was able to find a spare part and fitted it as part of the service. Reasonable cost. I would certainly recommend him.

Boiler Service
My Vaillant boiler was well overdue for service and I wanted a professional to undertake the job who understood the brand and offered good service. I found this and more in Russell from R & S Plumbing and Gas Services Ltd. He was punctual, extremely thorough, took the time to show me and explain what was involved in the service and was very competitive in his pricing. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone looking for a reliable gas engineer to undertake boiler work. I have already booked him to return for further servicing and will use his company again when the service is next due on my boiler. Finding a reliable Gas Safe registered engineer is often difficult but you'll find all these qualities in Russell from R & S.

Rang Russell in the morning and he got back to me later that day to arrange a visit the next day. He kept us informed of when he would be around on the day of the arranged visit and quickly effected repairs to a faulty bathroom flush box. A good service all round. Russell was smart in appearance and wore shoe protection in the house throughout.

Excellent work
R & S installed a complete central heating system & hot water supply. The work was carried out in a very professional manner with as little disruption as possible. Everything was left neat and tidy at the end of each day. I was given clear instructions for using the system & I am delighted with everything. Excellent work. Recommended highly.

Great work, very thorough, friendly service
I was very pleased with the servicing of my boiler. Russell is very friendly and shared a lot of useful information on the boiler and to help with some other work I need to have done. He was a lot more thorough than others I have used in the past and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and to use again.

Professional, punctual and very helpful.
After reading the Which? local reviews I gave Russell call to explain that the thermostat to my boiler system had failed. Although Russell was fully booked for the next few weeks he gave me some advice on who could help to rectify the issue. However, as the conversation progressed Russell mentioned that he could pop over the following evening to take a look if it wasn't an emergency. Needless to say, the following evening Russell turned up and within an hour had the thermostat changed, tested and provided guidance on how to program the thermostat controller.

A superbly competent, polite and professional service
Russ has quite literally just left my house. I've not even had the invoice yet but absolutely felt compelled to write this review as soon as I could. I found Russ on this website so it seemed fair to return here to leave feedback. Cutting to the chase, Russ has been excellent in servicing and repairing our boiler. I actually volunteered the option to replace and, where some traders would jump on this immediately, Russ dismissed this out of hand and said there was no need at this time. He was brilliant, friendly, polite, clean, tidy and efficient. He even took well to my dogs who are a bit excitable and distracting at the best of times. He took time to talk me through what was going wrong, and what was going well...he explained everything when asked and took real interest in ensuring I was happy. Really very pleased I called him this morning, and grateful that he was able to get us back to working heating and water by six pm tonight. An absolute star.

Really professional service
R&S Plumbing originally installed our Vaillant Boiler 2 years ago (He cancelled a weekend trip to help us out and installed the new boiler in a day - really pleased with the service and the new Vaillant boiler and intelligent thermostat). Russ also spent some time explaining how everything works. Today was the second annual service. Engineer (Russ) arrived when promised, serviced the boiler including doing all the required tests, logged the service in the record book and emailed me a completed service checklist. Would recommend this company without reservation for installs and services.

Great standard of work, would recommend
We had Russ come to a new property we recently purchased, we wanted an additional radiator fitting, another replacing & some new valves fitted to others. Russ was prompt, has an excellent standard of work, gave us some great advice & managed to complete the work in one visit. Price was also good, very happy with service.

Fantastic, reliable, honest & friendly
Russel was recommended to me via a colleague. He was able to come quickly and was able to sort the problem straight away. Another issue occurred while he was here and he happily stayed until it was fixed. Couldn't recommend highly enough. Great value too!

Fast dripping tap and Valiant boiler
Russell arrived on time and got straight to work removing the very stubborn tap to replace the 1/4 turn cartridge - he did both taps. There was no damage to the finish despite needing to exert a lot of energy. I was very impressed by the thoroughness of the service my boiler got. I can recommend Russell to anyone. In fact I already have.

Russell fitted us a near stopcock under the sink in a very efficient and professional way. On finishing the job, he left everything very clean and tidy. We would call him again if we needed a plumber.

Replacement of induction hob with Gas - Russell was on time, quick to do the job, a pleasure to have in the house and not expensive. He also arranged for a good electrician to call in quickly to complete the job. Trustworthy and professional.

Russell helped to repair some leaking toilet cisterns. He dealt with the job promptly and professionally with minimum disruption to the rooms involved. I consider his service to be good value and I would certainly use him again.

Prompt, professional, brilliant - good to know
Having tried our usual plumber et al and all were too busy or did not reply, I then used my Which? membership to seek a reliable plumber for my central heating boiler. I received prompt response, and appointment 2 hours later. I was absent during the visit but my wife was treated politely. Thought was put into the problem - repair made - perfect. This man will now replace my usual tradesman.

Turned up exactly on time, friendly and very efficient. Russ serviced the gas boiler in the tricky loft space, replaced a seal, cleaned & checked the magnaclean and re-filled the system with inhibitor & leakseal. All for the agreed price. Well recommended.
