Silkflow Ltd (Water Softener Specialists)

Richard came today and replaced my water softener. He worked very efficiently and made sure the system was working properly. He also resolved another problem. He explained how the softener worked, I am very pleased with the service provided.

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!

Installation of new water softener was completed promptly, with minimum mess and lots of helpful advice.

Richard was very honest and competent advising the water softener did not need replacement and advised how to deal with the issues arising. Would strongly recommend him for such work

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.

A very professional, informative and helpful response was given by everyone I dealt with at Silkflow, especially Richard who removed an old water softener and replaced with a new one, taking time to answer any questions I had. The job was done very efficiently and the water softener is working perfectly. I am very pleased that I chose Silkflow.

I was looking for a Company who could supply and install a Hague water softener for me. I came across Silkflow online and I contacted them. I'm so glad I did. Richard was able to do the install a few days later and has done a really professional job. Some of the pipework used for my previous water softener needed to be replaced to accommodate the Hague. This was in rather a confined space but Richard managed with no trouble at all and it is a very neat and tidy job. Highly Recommended

Excellent work carried out very carefully and tidily with a minimum of fuss. We would definitely recommend this company.

Speedy response to my initial enquiry followed up with a home visit at my convenience. Offered options according to our requirements for the products available and for different budgets, very friendly, knowledgeable and informative advice. Water softener has been installed today with no fuss and minimal disruption. Very happy and have no hesitation in recommending this company.

My old water softener was playing up so based on Which reviews, I contacted Silkflow Ltd. What a result! From the first phone call with Sharon, I could tell I was in good hands. The engineer Richard called out to see what was what and explained clearly the situation with my old water softener and what my options were. At no time did I feel I was being pressured into a new water softener but I felt very reassured I was making the right choice. The removal of the old softener and the installation of the new was seamless and Richard is an amazingly tidy worker. Nobody likes spending money if they don’t have to but I feel very reassured I have a great new product, professionally installed and the backup of a company I feel very happy dealing with. I highly recommend Silkflow Ltd and I SHALL recommend them to anyone who asks.

Richard is very knowledgable with heaps of experience. The Infinity T4 water softener, water filter, new tap and associated pipework were all fitted neatly and professionally for a reasonable price. I wasn't surprised with the workmanship as Richard fills you with confidence. I had a question a few days after installation and Richard was happy to take my call and give helpful advice. The water softener itself works brilliantly and really makes a noticeable difference to the hard water feeding the house, very pleased I got it fitted. I would highly recommend Richard and the softener.

I rang Swiftflow with my problem I was given a date and time. Richard arrived on time after checking the fault he explained what the problem was and gave me a firm quote. Before he started he covered the floor to keep it clean. He fitted the new part swiftly and cleanly and tested the system, when finished he made sure everywhere was clean and tidy and took the old parts away. Richard was a pleasure to deal with as was the lady who I spoke to when I phoned. When the job was finished everything was working and everywhere was clean, you won't have known anyone had been. I would recommend this company to anyone, a first class job with good old fashion service.

Richard from Silkflow was excellent from the initial telephone contact to the survey through to the installation. He was friendly, knowledgeable and professional and worked efficentlyand tidyly. We would be happy to recommend his services.

Excellent company. Great communication, quick quotation and installation by very knowledgeable and personable engineer. New water softener looks much neater than the old one and already noticing the difference in the dishwasher.

I am very glad that I chose this company to install my water softener at what seems to be a very fair price. Communication was excellent and the job has been completed to a high standard. Richard is helpful and explains the process before and after the installation very clearly.

I received excellent service from Silkflow from the initial contact to completing the repair. The engineer arrived on time on the given day.

Very knowledgeable and polite service. Prompt accurate and tidy. Fantastic service - installed new Water softener - old one had stopped working. Installed Quooker under sink with problematic pipe work - brilliant job.

Richard and Sharon are a perfect duo. Right from the 1st visit to explanation of how the system works to installation and fitting of the water softener system - nothing has been too much trouble. Everything has been smooth sailing. I cannot wait to enjoy the benefits of the soft water we now have - thanks to Richard. Thank you Silkflow for your help and efforts. Much appreciated.

Excellent service from Silkflow Ltd. This company updated a water softener they put in nearly 30 years ago. The price was very reasonable and the work was carried out promptly and very efficiently. Would highly recommend.

Richard surveyed my job promptly and quoted me same day. I went ahead and the communication was good and arrived promptly on time to do the work. I had a T4 water softener installed as a new installation. Richard took care around the existing kitchen units and completed the job on time and left no mess. The workmanship on the pipework is superb and neat. Tidy job and it has been in for over 1 month now with no problems. Great product and friendly contractor. Thank you

I had a water softener and filter installed and maintained by Silkflow for over 5 years in my previous house. Today, as always, Richard has done a brilliant job, so professional, fabulous workmanship, highly recommended!

Richard installed a water softener diligently and professionally. He arrived on time, was respectful of our property, fully explained what he had done and how the system operated etc. I would have no hesitation in recommending Silkflow.

Richard replaced my old leaking water softener with a new one and also replaced some old pipework and fitted new inlet/outlet valves that had seized up. The final result is a very neat and tidy job which looks so much better than before. I would definitely recommend Silkflow.

Richard gave an inspection of existing old installation He gave a clear quote for replacement machines and their relative benefits. All my question were answered. The installation was neat and tidy and I have no hesitation in recommending Silkflow.

Terrific pre-sales service; everything explained clearly. Installation was efficient, clean and impressively done. Charming man. Delighted to recommend.

Richard gave a clear quote and explanation of the benefits of a softener. All our question were answered. The installation was neat and tidy and professional looking. I have no hesitation in recommending Silkflow.

The quote was fair, the company was helpful and friendly, the service was excellent and the product is good.

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.

Richard from Silkflow did a very good job of installing my water softener, he had to alter some pipework so that it fitted in nice and neat, overall he did a great job and was very professional in his work. Thank you Richard you did a great job.

Richard installed our first water softener 9 years ago and when it developed a problem he came round and explained the issue for us and the options available. He then installed a new softener and as always it was easy and straightforward. I have recommended Silkflow to others and would have no hesitation in doing so again.

The work involved the replacement of a dated supply pipe to the property, re-plumbing within a dated property and installation of the softener. All work was carried out to a very high standard by experienced contractors. I appreciated the care they took to explain their work, their consideration for the age of the property and their willingness to discuss decisions with me. I am delighted with the final product. The company was outstanding because they gave excellent advice in line with the challenges of the property, adjusted their work in sympathy with our needs and the work area. They were courteous, gave us an excellent and well explained quotation and carried out work on time and as quoted.

Richard has just fitted a water softener for us and we had confidence from start to finish. It was very easy to arrange an appointment for the survey and quotation. Our plumbing is a bit complex and meant we needed someone who really understood what they were going to need to do. Richard explained his plan very carefully and it was clear to us that he would be the right person to do the job. The quote was competitive and timescales were honoured. On the day of fitting, he arrived on time and was a pleasure to deal with. Explained everything to us carefully. I am at risk from covid and he was also very considerate around that, taking a lat flow test before attending. Thoroughly recommended.

Just had a water softener installed by Richard and Silkflow and would highly recommend !! From start to finish Richard went through various options, recommendations and listened to our needs as our little one has eczema and we live in a very hard water area. Once we gave the go ahead they communicated on installation dates and times and gave us a reminder the day before. On installation day Richard worked in a tidy and polite way that would not inconvenience us with the little one. I would like to thank Richard/Silkflow and would definitely recommend to any one thinking of having a water softener installed.

The work was done to a very high standard. The work was carried out before I moved into a new property. Points were raised beforehand to ensure it was done exactly as I required. Following installation, I was called to answer any queries and a demonstration was given when I was unsure. Would use this company again without hesitation and would thoroughly recommend.

A water softener was installed in a few hours, on time and on budget. The installation was carried out with care and with minimum disruption. The work was neat and the site was left spotless. Everything went according to plan and the explanation on how to operate the kit was clear. A great job and a professional worker.

All work carried out in a timely and efficient manner with clear explanation of ways to operate the new installation, on time and on budget.

From the point of receiving the quote, we received outstanding service. Prior to fit, communication was great and on the day, Richard was a tidy and accommodating worker. Really polite, helpful and professional throughout and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Top-quality service. Richard arrived and offered good sensible advice and installed a new softener in the same appointment. Very friendly and professional. Even got some replacement salt tablets too.

Our new water softener was fitted efficiently despite a very awkward small space to work with. Richard completed the job quickly leaving no mess whatsoever. We have now tested the water for its hardness (to the garden tap) and its softness indoors with excellent results. We had an issue the following day and Richard came straight back and in a short space of time sorted out the problem (which turned out to be our old pipework!). No hesitation in recommending Silkflow.

Richard was excellent. Clean and tidy, very professional. I have no hesitation in recommending Richard and Silkflow to other potential customers.

I had a water softener fitted because I knew the benefits from my previous home. We have just moved here and the water is hard. The work was carried out efficiently, everything was explained and I was consulted when something different had to be done. We also had a drinking water tap with filter fitted. Everything is working perfectly. Richard had previously fitted a softener at my sons house, so I know the work was good. I would definitely recommend Silkflow. Good work, very tidy, very polite arrived on time! 10/10

Richard was amazing. He found a problem with the water meter and rang the water company for us. They were going to leave us without any water but Richard was having none of that. After 3 hours he personally resolved the problem for which I will be forever grateful. We are O.A.Ps and couldn't have resolved this by ourselves. I would recommend them any day of the week and would just like to say thank you once again.

Very professional workman, Richard kept working area very clean and tidy, always checked before completing task to ensure we were happy with it. Work completed very well, left property very tidy and was happy to answer any questions, happy with work completed and would definitely use again.

Richard of Silkflow Ltd installed a new water softener for us. The service provided by this company was very satisfactory: Prompt communication, good information, rapid response and visit, competent installation of a superior water softener model

Installation done quickly and without fuss, at the appointed time. I can feel the difference the softener makes as handwashing now needs less soap!

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

Water softener sprung serious leak. Richard came same day. Gave appropriate advice on replacement which has now been fitted. Very good service indeed.

Richard was very respectful of our home particularly remembering government social distance guidelines. he was helpful over email during pandemic when he could not visit. Price was as quoted and it took just about 2 hours. I would have no hesitation in recommending silkflow. Very professional, clean, tidy and respectful of our home.

Silkflow were recommended to us, and we are very pleased we used them. Easy to work with, on time, good quote, neat and tidy work. Very happy customer.

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.

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.

Excellent efficient and courteous service by Richard who installed our water softener and triflow tap and filter in a few hours at little inconvenience to us. Would definitely recommend his services to others.

Highly recommended, fast & efficient service. I have no hesitation in recommending Silkflow Water Treatment Specialists. Most impressed.

Turned up on time. Work done as promised. Softener works well. Site left tidy. Recommended.

Chosen based on reviews, prompt response to queries and initial visit. Good advice, practical and realistic pricing. Short time to installation (10 days), efficient installation and it's working well. Recommended.

Silkflow (Richard) recently came to install another new water softener for us and again did a great job. There has never been any hassle during any of my installations I have had a few softeners from Silkflow over many many years and find that I always get honest advice in which water softener I should go for and why.. The aftercare service is also very good in that I have my scheduled deliveries delivered on time. When the time comes for another softener I will be returning to Richard at Silkflow

Richard is a professional who knows his product and its application. We obtained other quotes but they were either more expensive, less professional inspiring no confidence, or both! Don't waste your time - use Silkflow and be sure you will be getting great value product. Tony Bratt PS Silkflow is also the best value for block salt supply which extends your warranty (doubt it is ever used).

We asked Richard to look at our old water softener which had stopped working. He diagnosed that that the old softener was beyond repair and managed to install a new softener the very next day. Excellent service and workmanship.

This is our second Silkflow water softener, the first having lasted around 15 years. Contacted them about a replacement and was given a good price and a quick installation date. Richard turned up on time, was friendly and professional. He even tidied up some of the pipework in the adjacent area; all part of his caring and professional approach. I have no hesitation in recommending Silkflow, I'm sure we will be back in another 15 years.

Really pleased with the water softener. I didn't know much about softeners and felt looked after by Richard from initial contact to installation and beyond!

This is the second softener I’ve had installed by Richard at Silkflow. Did a great job, always goes above and beyond.

Richard was very pleasant to deal with - clear, friendly and professional. The job was done well and the area left very tidy afterwards. Would recommend.

Our 2001-vintage water softener finally gave up the ghost, and our trusted local general plumber told us we should look for someone who specialises in water softeners. I found Silkflow through Which? Trusted Traders, Richard came to look at the defective softener and told us, (no surprise) that we needed a new one, giving us different options of models to choose from. He back came yesterday, removed the old unit, changed and updated the pipework and fitted the new unit in about 3 hours, leaving everything clean and tidy. A Ronseal job - he did what it said on the tin!

Richard carried out the install very smoothly and even found work around when issues were spotted, very happy overall, certainly would recommend.

Work done quickly, cleanly and efficiently. Appointments were arranged and rearranged in a friendly but professional manner and then kept. The operation of the apparatus was explained simply and clearly. Altogether excellent service.
