Installation of a new domestic oil fired boiler
Customer Service
Quality

A site visit was paid by Kevin who readily explained options and made recommendations, all of which were patiently and clearly explained. This was followed by comprehensive quotes for either a standard or condenser boiler. A condenser boiler was ordered and Kevin and his colleague, Wayne, arrived promptly on the agreed day of installation and immediately set to work removing the old boiler. They both worked diligently throughout the day and the new boiler was up and running by late afternoon. On completion of the work they gave a good brief on the operation of the boiler and cleared the site of all detritus and packaging, including removal of the old boiler. Overall a thoroughly professional job carried out by competent and personable tradespersons. They were ably supported back in their office by Nikki, who made all the administrative arrangements. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this company.

Installation of a Viessmann Vitodens 111-W Storage Combi Boiler

Our boiler failed and we wanted to update our system to an Unvented system. I had been recommended Viessmann boilers by a friend so got in touch. Kevin, from Southgate & Culham, came to review what we wanted and after hearing what we needed, suggested a better solution than I originally was going to go for. It meant we could get rid of the boiler from the kitchen completely and get everything into one unit in the airing cupboard upstairs. From that point everything went very well, from agreeing the price, installation date, the install and all follow up has been excellent. The install was completed in 2 days as agreed and everything was up and working. The quality of workmanship is very good and nothing was too much trouble for Kevin & Wayne in making sure we were happy with everything. We are delighted with the new system and I would thoroughly recommended Southgate & Culham.

Fitting new Worcester/bosch oil fired boiler. Fitting was completed on time and in budget. I would thoroughly recommend Southgate & Cullum. The fitters were incredibly efficient and the job was done with little disruption and completed in a day. The old boiler and pipework taken away as agreed. After sales service very good and boiler has been running perfectly. I would highly recommend for future projects.

Thermostatic Radiator valve replacement.
Customer Service
Quality
Value
Two out of eight valves had developed faults after 30-35 years service resulting in rhythmic rumblings, clatter and a cold radiator. I requested renewal of them all. This needed total drain down followed by recharging with corrosion inhibitor. While conducting a full heat test, Kevin discovered that a heating zone valve was also faulty causing failure of the boiler to start. This had manifested as an untraceable intermittent fault some weeks earlier, so I was very pleased to have this fixed at the same time. The work was carried out to the highest standard on the agreed date and the cost fell within expected parameters. Kevin was very careful to observe Pandemic protocol throughout the visit and left the house clean and tidy. We kept out of the way in the one room without thermostatic valves, kept warm with a portable electric heater! There has been no further problems with radiators following the visit. I have used this company for many years and always found them to be very helpful and efficient, I would not hesitate to provide a recommendation.

As a Which member, I found Southgate & Culham on the Which? Trusted Trader website. After reading the reviews & then viewing their website, I first phoned the company on 12.11.20 for a quote to carry out:- 2 x Radiator / TRV / Lockshield changes and 6 x TRV / Lockshield changes. Spoke to a very friendly helpful lady called Nikki, who gave me a verbal quote straight away. This was confirmed by email the next day & received by post two days later. I accepted the quote, which was very competitive & thorough. Then had further communication by phone & email. The work was initially booked for 10.12.20 which unfortunately I had to change to 18.12.20. I also added some additional work. Nothing was too much trouble for Nikki, who is very professional & knowledgeable. She is very polite & courteous with excellent customer care & people skills. Having dealt with numerous Plumbing & Heating companies over the years, both professionally & for my own home use, throughout the UK, I have to say dealing with Southgate & Culham is a very welcome breath of fresh air!

Superb service from beginning to end. Been using Southgate & Culham for four years, having been recommended to us by the previous owners of our house, who had used them for boiler servicing for at least eight years previously. We contacted them mid-December as an emergency because our previous boiler, installed when the house was built, had failed completely, resulting in the need for a replacement. They had the new boiler installed before Christmas. Very conscientious and experienced team. Turned up when promised, meticulously tidy and kept the work areas spotless throughout the job. Boiler works well and the house has never been so warm!
