I have no hesitation in recommending Silkflow. Richard assessed my needs and advised which water softener would be best. He arrived on time and fitted, tested and then went through instructions of how to use thoroughly with me. Excellent service.

Richard quoted to install water softener and gave installation date on this visit. He arrived promptly, used protected 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.

Richard came and quoted to install a new water softener. He came to visit us to look at our current plumbing and advised us on options. We received a reasonable quote. Excellent communication with Sharon at their office. The work was carried out meticulously and according to the quote. We are very happy with our softener and the entire installation process. Very professional and highly recommended. I will certainly be using them for other services in the future.

I called Silkflow after not being able to get a call back from another provider. They answered first time, set up a site assessment quickly. Everything was clear and well set out on the quote. They just completed the fitting today, clean and tidy, all explained and a reasonable price. Happy customer.

I was very impressed with the service Richard/Silkflow gave when having a new water softener installed. I initially called to ask some questions about the softeners they sell/install, and Richard answered all my questions and was quick to give me a price. I received a text message the day before the installation date, with a time window that Richard would come which I appreciated and he arrived on time. The install looks clean, is working fully and Richard also explained how to fill the unit, when and how the machine may behave differently to my previous softener (first time using a non-electric softener that takes blocks rather than tablet). Silkflow - Thanks for the personable service! It's too common now to have to fill in a webform where someone may or may not get back to you!

Richard was incredibly helpful and professional when taking out my old water softener and replacing it with a new one. He was also swift and skilled at fixing a blockage and replacing valves and pipework. He has also replaced the filters in my water filter. He was very clear with explaining what he had done and how to maintain the products. Silkflow are a reliable, friendly and trustworthy business, would definitely recommend.

Silkflow was recommended to me by another highly rated provider / installer who didn't cover my area. A consultation visit was arranged promptly and Richard talked me through the pros and cons of all options clearly - which were previously a mystery to me. The quote was lower than expected, and install was arranged promptly. On the day of install Richard was prompt, and he's a super friendly lovely guy to have in your home. There was some tricky pipework to manage but he handled it effortlessly and the install / cleanup was immaculate. Really thrilled with how the whole process was handled, and my new lovely soft water.
