Work Carried out at Tower Hall, Torquay
Came round only to look at three jobs and give a quote, but was able to complete them all during the visit and inside one hour. New unit in Toilet which didn't flush. New Taps in Kitchen as old ones not able to turn off. New Adjustable Toilet Seat in old lavatory - avoided necessity to replace toilet. Jobs all done efficiently and very helpful. Also answered questions about electric shower. Very pleased with service John Butler,

Very good service
I have used this company twice in the past month. On both occasions they were easy to contact, responded very quickly, and appointments fixed for within a day or two. The engineers were very friendly and professional, and did an excellent job. I was particularly impressed today that the engineer was prepared to give my very old boiler every chance of survival, when most companies would condemn it and try to sell me a new one. He tracked down the problem that was stopping it from operating, and got it running again within an hour. Charges were very reasonable, and I was very relieved that I would not have to spend thousands on a new boiler.

Thoroughly professional company.
Living in an older property, I have needed a plumber on numerous occasions. For each of those times, I have used South West Plumbing who have never failed to impress with their courtesy, their expert knowledge and excellent service. We have happily recommended them to anyone looking for plumbing services.

Top efficiency and quality
On moving home, I discovered the old gas boiler though working was not reliable. Contacted this firm having read its very good reviews in an emergency and they responded promptly. After a survey and work to improve the central heating system to maximise efficiency and get the old boiler running correctly, I decided to replace the 17 year old boiler to update it and peace of mind. Their end to end customer service is very professional and helpful including calls answered promptly and helpfully. The surveyor and engineer were very knowledgeable and answered all my queries about various options. Despite my considerable experience in dealing with domestic boilers, as a single elderly female it was very refreshing to have your views listened to and new technical issues properly explained. The installation of the new boiler was done very quickly and to a high standard. The engineer turned up on time, worked diligently and was polite and friendly as well as keeping my home neat and tidy. The overall cost was very reasonable for a top quality job. I have now contracted with South West Plumbing Services to annually service my heating system and respond to any repair needs. Given that the boiler is operating beautifully, my concern about heating reliability has gone as I know the system is in safe hands with this outstanding firm.

Excellent work, timekeeping & staff from this company for 10 years 👏
I have had my boiler and cooker serviced by Southwest Plumbing for 10 years now. Such a friendly company from the office staff and plumbers too. Nice to have the same plumber visit for all this time. He is a credit to the company. Nice to see him still wearing a mask in my home. He is happy to chat whilst doing the service and feel as if he's a friend after all these years. Not once have I been let down or been left with a spec of dust as he is very particular to keeping everything as clean as it was. So to sum it up, clean, friendly, reliable, trustworthy and there prices are very reasonable 👌. 10/10. Well done guys.

We have used SWPS several times in the past and always been very pleased. We have just had them changing some bathroom items – old connections had seized up, a strange shaped bath for a shower screen. All of these difficulties were overcome. Their price is fair, they turn up when they say they will and always do a good job. I highly recommend them.

Quality work from a superb firm.
I obtained three quotes for the boiler replacement I required and South West Plumbing won my confidence by their professional, quick response and reasonable competitive price for the job in hand. Bill Yeoman attended to do the survey. He was extremely knowledgeable and most helpful in guiding me to decide what would be my best solution. Later, he initiated a very good and comprehensive quotation for the work necessary and arranged for it to take place yesterday and the day before. Josh Powel, the installation engineer, worked quickly and efficiently keeping me informed of progress all the time. He was extremely polite, knowledgeable, a very tidy worker and was appreciative of the regular tea deliveries. He got the job done in good time and left the premises having given me all the instruction and paperwork I required. The office staff also played their important part in providing me with a good welcome every time I contacted them and with all the information I required at the time. It was a pleasure doing business with this exceptional team. I have no hesitation in recommending this highly professional and helpful firm to anyone.

'CAN DO' ATTITUDE... HOW REFRESHIING!
Have used South West Plumbing before and this time they replaced a toilet pan and cistern and also an electric shower for us. The toilet replacement was not a straight forward job due to our rather Victorian plumbing connections, but they found a way! Would use SWP again without hesitation and can thoroughly recommend them to you.

Installation of a new combi boiler
Owing to our old combi-boiler breaking down, we asked South West Plumbing to carry out a survey and give us a price to install a new one. The survey was carried out by Bill, at the time and date mutually agreed. The actual installation was carried out by John and his apprentice in a timely fashion. We had originally been warned that we may not have heating and hot water on the first day, but John ensure that we did have this during a very cold period. The full installation was completed the following day as quoted. We needed a new sender unit, which was changed promptly by Josh. We found all the staff we had dealings with, to be extremely courteous, pleasant and non-intrusive.

New boiler install
After an engineer was called to diagnose leaks from the boiler in my Mothers loft, it was apparent that a bigger job was necessary with a new boiler install. As Mum was in hospital and no hot water or heating in her home, a surveyor was arranged for later that day. Two options were quoted for and a date was arranged for the work to be done. As with all my dealings with this company, I cannot fault them in anyway. They are always prompt, efficient and get the job done with minimum fuss. Over three day, a new combi boiler was put in and all the old equipment taken out. As I do not live locally, the team worked really hard to finish the job so I could travel back to Hertfordshire the next day. Thank you everyone for an excellent job well done.

Great boiler installation. Very thorough
From the quote onwards, I could tell these people knew what they were doing. I got asked a lot of questions by Roger, so that the quote would be accurate and the work done as planned. He also explained why their installation would take 2 days not one, as they did a powerflush rather than just a chemical clean in the radiators, which we needed as our radiators are fairly old. On installation days, John and his assistant came on time and were very easy to have in the house. They explained everything well and left the house in the state it was found. When there was noises in the radiators they came back quickly and liased with the new man as they weren't able to hear the noises when they came back the first time. He then knew exactly what to do and fixed it. Not our cheapest quote but very thorough and clear work.

Excellent All Round Experience
From start to finish this company is very professional. First contact by phone gave me the pricing information I needed to compare with other companies. Their hourly rate was very competitive, and I was able to make an appointment that was convenient for me. I needed some gas pipework altered and a new gas hob and electric oven installed. The engineer arrived promptly and set to work, he was efficient, polite and protected the area he was working in. He did some brilliant pipework alterations in a very confined space and fitted both the gas hob and electric cooker. He cleaned up and left the place neat and tidy. Couldn't ask for more. Payment options were good too, either invoice or card payment. I chose to visit the office, which is also business like and efficient, where I was able to pay, and was given the choice of an electronic or paper receipt. A very satisfactory experience all round and I would highly recommend this company and definitely use them again.

Impressed with this company - thoroughly recommended.
We had been let down by our regular servicing company whose '24 hour emergency service' hadn't responded - after 14 hours - to our non-working boiler call out! We found South West Plumbing Services in Which Trusted Traders list and called them with an immediate response. The engineer arrived as promised. He was courteous and friendly and certainly knew his business, carrying out the repair effectively, cleanly and quickly. The cost - for a call out and part - was reasonable in the circumstances. We have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending South West Plumbing Services and its engineers.

South West Plumbing made a good impression from the outset. The surveyor arrived punctually and took considerable time to evaluate our requirements with regard to the installation of a new gas combi boiler to provide heat to our radiators and underfloor heating system. We also asked for a new UFH manifold and wireless room thermostats to be installed. The quotation received soon after was comprehensive and competitive. It was with optimism that we opted to engage South West Plumbing to carry out the required works. That optimism was well founded. The service engineers arrived on time and took appropriate measures to protect floors and carpets. The system was power-flushed, and the boiler installed and commissioned within the allotted time. The heating system is working well and we would have no hesitation in recommending South West Plumbing.

From Mike the surveyor to Howard the installer the project was well conducted in a professional. polite & friendly manner. The advice from Mike was both informative & easily understood. Howard, from the moment he arrived was courteous, approachable & willing to explain how things were progressing as we went along. A 100% professional job only let down by minor disappointment with the work carried out by sub-contractors, (roofing & electrical) which doesn't distract from our satisfaction with the work done by S W Plumbing Services Ltd.

Mike the surveyor explained what was needed and why, he answered all my questions in a way I could easily understand and left leaving me confident with my decision. The engineer Andrei was both super efficient and professional, the carpeted areas were protected and the area was kept clean. Also the cost could be covered in a few different ways. I choose 12 months interest free. I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing plumbing or heating work done.

Quality Engineer!
South West Plumbing Services Ltd carried out a service to my boiler. The engineer started at the top and worked down - which was probably why he immediately found a broken joint that (in my view) presented a potential serious combustion leak, which, given the appearance of the item, had probably been missed by all the engineers of a well known national company who have attended my boiler during the past 11 yrs! Although I am not a gas engineer, I have an engineering background and I witnessed a thorough and systematic service procedure, and received constructive information that I feel I can rely upon. As a consequence I was pleased to take the opportunity of a boiler care contract with this company.
