We have recently had a new boiler fitted, which turned out to be quite tricky and then other jobs arose linked to the leaking manifold on our under floor heating. Over the last month we have met several engineers, all have been very professional friendly and able to explain details in simple terms! We have always found it easy to contact the company and there has always been a timely response. Overall there were a few hiccups, because our system was difficult to fit, but we are very happy with S.W. Plumbing's approach and we are glad that we've chosen the company.

Boiler replacement
Customer Service
Quality

Excellent service from initial contact over the phone to office personnel who booked us a prompt visit from Mike to assess the job. Within a week Josh & Andrei came and removed old system, refitted new combi, piping upgraded and left house very tidy. we were happy to go out on the second day and leave the engineers to it. They finished the job on time as promised, only two days before Christmas! Now the new system is in, it really shows how poor the old one was. The new boiler is on for less time but we are so much warmer with all the radiators now working efficiently... We've used these guys before for annual service of boiler and would highly recommend them for all servicing or repair / replacement work. Thanks guys, Colin & Linda

Hello Colin and Linda, it was a very busy end to the year for us but luckily we had a full working week to help us get to all of our customers in need. Every survey Mike completes is very thorough to allow for an easy install, it was actually planned as a four day job but we through two men on it and got it done in half the time so you could have central heating for Christmas, our engineers installed a Worcester Bosch Greenstar ErP 32CDi Compact with the filter added gives you 10 years parts and labour guarantee.
A top-rate company.

South West Plumbing undertook a re-design and upgrade to an existing part underfloor and conventional C.H. and Hot Water system which then functioned superbly. Recently, the old boiler was replaced by them with a Worcester Greenstar 32CDi Compact (a joy itself !). First class materials were used throughout. A great team at every level, but it was John H who did all the 'hand's on' work. A very neat and tidy installation.

Thank you for the great review Lee, not all of our customers are aware that we do bathrooms so its great that we have a couple of engineers who like big projects like yours. Upon discussion we thought it would be best to install laminate panelling in the bathroom as the installation and maintenance comapred to tiling is far superior. We hope you like your shower now and contact us in the future with any more ideas.

We needed him to change our boiler and all our heating system. On the first visit to the office they were very friendly, professional and very helpful. They came to our home to assess the job, which they did very quickly. On the installation day, they started very early, watching them work, they were very clean and very professional. They finished the job to a very high standard and very good quality by the end of the second day. The team were great and very friendly. Overall I would recommend South West Plumbing very highly. My wife likes the big bunch of flowers they got her after the job was completed (nice touch) They hit all my requirements that I look for: Professional Reliable Friendly Polite Reasonable Clean Stress free Highly Recommended
