Contacted Silk flow following recommendation on Facebook. Our query was responded to very quickly and our appointment was made to cover and look at our water softener. The engineer turned up on time & was very helpful in giving us information & helping to choose a new softener. He placed the order while still with us and arranged a follow up appointment to fit it. Phoned us to update our delivery. Fitting was carried out as arranged. Very helpful & friendly. Couldn't fault service.

This family-run company was recommended by a friend and was happy to provide an obligation-freee quotation. The plumber turned up on time for both the assessment visit and the subsequent fitting. I was confident throughout that he knew what he was doing and he proved communicative. The job took about two hours, there was minimal mess and full instructions were provided afterwards. The price was competitive and we were perfectly happy with the work done. Very happy with our modern new softener, which should be cheaper to run and much easier to load than our previous tablet salt electricity-powered machine. He also serviced our water filter while he was here and we will in future take advantage of his keenly priced salt blocks.

Silk flow is a small business. They replaced my water softener, provided excellent customer service from the time of booking the appointment to the actual replacement. They also delivered salt what is also important they come when they said and if they needed to cancel they contact you. I also like the fact you can talk to them on the phone easily.

We had received a sales pitch from one of the large UK water softener installers and received a large quote in the process. We wanted to get a quote from a local installer and found Silkflow. They were very responsive to our request and we found Richard really helpful with information and advice on the installation. His quote was 15% cheaper than the original quote we had received. What we liked the most was that he was very accommodating with our request to put the softener unit into a corner cupboard to save space. He was on time, very tidy and we are very happy with the end result.

We had an old, inadequate water softening system. Richard came and gave us the options on replacing it. He then returned to fit the system. We received an email the day before on when to expect him and he arrived bang on time. His experienced and knowledgable service gave us great confidence and his workmanship was very professional. We're delighted with our new system.

Breakdown of Water Softener - 8+ years old - handled quickly and efficiently. Problem identified. Appliance needed replacement. Fully explained, options are given - new or repair -and acceptable quote on price for a new appliance provided. Work done quickly, the area around the "site" protected and all left clean and tidy. A job well done.

A slightly trickier water softener installation than usual, however Richard did a fantastic job. Really neat and tidy work! Would definitely recommend.

Richard quoted to install water softener and quoted and gave installation date on this visit. He arrived promptly, used protective sheets and followed Covid guidelines. He encountered an unforeseen problem with the water feed to the fridge but overcame this and there was no additional cost for the extra work. Once finished, he tidied up and explained the operation of the softener well. All in all, a great job.

We contacted Richard on recommendation, to install a water softener whilst also providing hard water for the kitchen. He carried out a site visit promptly and gave an estimate that evening, which was accepted and a date fixed. The work was carried out entirely satisfactorily and when Richard identified a problem to provide outdoor hard water, he resolved that issue all within original estimate. Richard provided full information on the installation, was prompt, efficient, pleasant and worked tidily and cleanly and gave full details of aftercare and provision of consumables. In conclusion, we would have no hesitation in recommending Richard and Silkflow.

Richard was recommended to us when our old softener broke down. He came to see us the very next day having been given a date of over 3 weeks later by the company who originally installed it. We had a new softener installed 9 days later. All carried out quickly and efficiently. We will happily recommend Silkflow in the future.

Richard was very efficient in giving the original estimate which he did whilst here. The installation was done 2 weeks later. Drinking water in the kitchen required a change of tap and a filter unit under the kitchen sink. The work was carried out with the least disruption. I would not fail to recommend Silkflow, who was recommended to me by a friend.

Silkflow has fitted water softeners for other members of the family so came highly recommended. I called for a quote, received a verbal quote & made the booking for the following week. Sharon text before to remind me of the appointment & check the house was covid safe etc. Richard arrived on time, courteous & explained that I would need some new valves & advised of cost. Richard is extremely professional & clean in his working. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Silkflow to others.
