Barry did excellent work in servicing our boiler and finding and fixing a leak in the toilet. Very good at his job. Booking was easy and the company sent us a reminder before the visit. Would use the service of SOS Plumbing and Heating company again and recommend to everyone.

Competitive price and excellent service.
Our old boiler packed up last week. During the recent spell of freezing weather, speed was of the essence to replace it and SOS certainly delivered. They even provided temporary electric fan heaters to help us out. The price was definitely competitive. I would not hesitate to use them again.

"Tracy and Angela were amazing, when they said they would ring me back they did every time, they listened to my concerns regarding the draining of the water cylinder, they were helpful , efficient and patient with me. I do worry a lot, they were very kind. The heating engineer arrived at the given time, he was polite and reassuring, he put my mind to rest, and did a very efficient job. I was very impressed from start to finish and will be using them again and recommending them to everyone. Thank you. Maureen from Buxton Road."

We've called SOS Plumbing three times. 1st. When kitchen fitters bodged work with the mains water, split the mains pipe, left us without water and tried to deny it. SOS were quick to respond and fixed a difficult fault that day. 2nd. To fix a toilet that wouldn't flush properly. 3. To replace the faulty kitchen tap. On each occasion their response has been quick and their work to a very high standard. They will be the first people I will call for any plumbing issues. I can't rate them highly enough.

I'm not sure what is needed to qualify for Which Trusted Trader status but whatever it is I am sure SOS Plumbing have it. I have needed them three times (different jobs) and each time they were quick and efficient and reliable. I didn't get an exact estimate but I knew the basis of their charging and the bills I've had were in line with what I knew.

Good Friday our toilet cistern was continually running water and straight into the toilet bowl. Within 1 hour SOS was on the job. They made a temporary fix. to return on 11/4 to replace the full system. Full marks yet again to SOS. We also get an annual boiler service which has been allocated for 22/4. We have had no hesitation in highly recommending them to friends and family and will continue to do this.

A plumber that does not offer a service to replace taps
I enquired if they could replace our kitchen tap and they said they could not. Did not give a reason. I suspect they worked out they could make more profit with other bigger jobs.

SOS Plumbing rapid response to our plumbing crisis was greatly appreciated. Despite very tricky access, the problem was essentially resolved on the first visit, much to our relief. We also appreciated that they were able to make timely further visits to resolve the remaining non-critical issues. We won't hesitate to call them again for help if the need arises.

When the shower stopped working, I was caught between the requirements of the regulations of the retirement flats where I live and the unwillingness of the shower manufacturers to provide a risk assessment document. I had asked the manufacturers, Aqualisa, to repair the shower. I was then put in touch with SOS Plumbing, who could not have been more helpful. They showed concern for my plight and determination to solve the problem. Their plumber came and fixed the shower at the agreed time. I was most impressed by Angela, at SOS Plumbing. She was patient but determined to see a satisfactory conclusion.

A Very reliable family business

This company has been a wonderful professional support to my family over three years. Their response has been very swift and understanding of our problems. They replaced my very old boiler in our last home 3 years ago the quote was extremely reasonable for a high quality boiler. The staff were very courteous, gave us a quote and no pressure salesmanship. They checked with us a few days after the completion of work, asked did we have any further questions about new boiler and reminded us they were only a phone call away. So when we had problems with a fairly new boiler in our latest home I felt 100% confident of ringing SOS for quality assured, prompt help, he arrived on time explained what the problem was, he ordered the new part and once again left us feeling we were in good hands. Having a disability I need a reliable company, who offered us an excellent quote, with high quality considerate, prompt work especially when we have a urgent problem. They will be there to support you from start to completion excellent family company.

Very nice, polite and efficient. We've used SOS previously and would again. Thank you

Excellent service received from SOS Plumbing. Arrived on time, after a confirmation email of appointment. The plumber was wearing a mask and respected and maintained social distancing. He efficiently repaired a leak in the bathroom, and I was extremely pleased with the manor in which it was carried out. Price was good as we thought we might require major work, so it was a pleasant surprise when it could be repaired for the price.

I wanted to replace my boiler and have had plenty of quotes from various people but SOS was the one firm that took the trouble to listen to my requirements and didn't have their own agenda. I was impressed how good they were right from the office, Angela, to the surveyor and supervisor, Chris, and most of all the fitter, Anthony, who did everything and more than I was expecting. There were no issues or problems brought to me, he just got on with it, even neatly bricking up the old flue gap. Excellent service all round.

During the recent covid-19 crisis, my old boiler failed and was unable to be repaired. SOS quoted a fair price for the replacement, adhered to the agreed timescale, price and fitting schedule. Social distancing was an added complication but carefully managed by all staff. It was a purchase I'd been putting off for far too long, imagining a tortuous and costly process. SOS proved that image to be wrong, completing the fitting in under 3 days leaving the house clean as well.

Urgent plumbing works

We had problems in two separate upstairs toilets. Having managed through for several weeks one cistern that was leaking became worse and one other toilet was making an horrendous noise on refilling after flush, so repairs became a more urgent matter. Given that we were in the middle of the coronavirus crisis we were not sure that we would be able to get a plumber to attend and sort for us. SOS Plumbing were recommended to us. We contacted them and within 36 hours a plumber had sorted both issues quickly with parts without any problem. They provided an exceptional and efficient service at a very reasonable cost and I would highly recommend them to others.

SOS have replaced my boiler and hot tank, and generally upgraded my central heating and hot water systems. This major work has been completed within two weeks of my first identifying a serious problem, and all the while we have all exercised the complexity of social distancing. Angela (office), Chris (supervision), and Anthony (the work) have all been extremely accommodating and efficient. I have used this company previously to service my old boiler and this has always been carried out quickly and efficiently. I unhesitatingly recommend this company.

I have been using SOS Plumbing services for few years for our residential and BTL properties. They have always provided timely and professional service. Recently my tenant reported a fault in the toilet which was causing them inconvenience. I called SOS plumbing and request to look into the situation urgently. The very next day their plumber fixed the issue. I am really pleased with the service and would highly recommend them to anyone.

My underfloor heating system was updated with new equipment which was not easy to obtain. SOS did a great job at a fair cost. This is one of the most customer focussed companies I have ever experienced. Angela, who usually received the requests is experienced and very helpful. No matter how busy they seem to be the customer always seems, in my experience, to get the priority desired. With such a high level of skill and desire to serve their customers well, this is a company I have no hesitation to recommend to anyone.
