After two other engineers looking at our boiler and not fixing it Stephen persevered and did a great job - polite, friendly, helpful and made sure the job was finished. Also extremely good price for the job and a service. Will certainly have him back.

Steven came over at short notice to look at my mum's boiler which was leaking, and which turn out to have completely corroded inside as was very old. He immediately ordered a new one and came 3 days later to fit it. He was in the house for two days, fitting and testing the boiler, which involved crawling around in a small loft space to get to the tank. He was relaxed and unfazed by a few problems that came up - he sorted everything out, including going out and getting some additional parts - without any grumbles or complaints. He put sheets down and was very quiet and clean whilst working, and was also very kind and courteous to my elderly mum. Very happy with his work, a lovely guy and highly recommend.

I asked Steve to have a look at an issue with my washing machine and to service my boiler. He arrived promptly, sussed out the problem with the former and carried out the service in good time - but thoroughly. He was polite and sociable while here and an absolute delight. I've only recently moved into the property and my DIY skills are legendarily woeful anyway, and now I have confidence the boiler is all fixed up before the nights turn cold this autumn. I can highly recommend Steve based on my experience. Lovely guy.

When I first called Stephen he came in 10 minutes and was so helpful! He then returned yesterday to install a new boiler for me and I couldn’t have had a better guy! So nice and worked so hard in my attic which was a very difficult place but he never complained just did the job! I would most certainly recommend him!

This was the first time we have used Steve Gill's services and we weren't disappointed. He came to service our boiler and also fix a few other minor plumbing jobs. He arrived on time, did an excellent job and his bill was also fairly priced. We plan on using Steve again for our annual boiler service and any other unforeseen plumbing/heating problems that occur in the future. Definitely recommend Steve.

Stephen performed an annual central heating boiler service on a system that he installed 5 years ago. This was arranged by phone yesterday for 9am today. Stephen arrived dead on time and completed the work in his usual efficient manner. The work done was documented with an email copy. Advice was given about the positioning of the wireless controller/thermostat to achieve a better temperature balance across the property. Future work to upgrade some radiator TRV’s was also discussed. Always happy to recommend Stephen to friends and neighbours for central heating work.

The work Steve undertook involved removing an existing conventional hot water and central heating boiler system, and replacing it with a new combi boiler system. As requested, Steve quoted for two Worcester models and warranty periods, so I could choose the option that best suited my requirement. His work was fast, neat, completed on time, to specification and to the price quoted. His work was thoroughly professional and in my opinion, very good value for money. I will certainly use Steve again for any future central heating or plumbing jobs that I require.

A safe Pair of Hands

I'd been experiencing some problems with a Viessman gas boiler and, after a visit from the manufacturers engineer, some recommendations were made relating to the system. I looked on line for a Viessman trained engineer and found Stephen. He arrived when he said he would. I was happy to accept a reasonable verbal quote from him and he carried out the work within a week or two. Sadly, one of the modifications didn't quite work as it should but it was a month or two before I noticed it. Stephen came, made recommendations which, sadly, didn't solve the problem. My solution would have been to replace the malfunctioning part but this quiet man is a thinker; he dug deeper, and came up with the solution. I feel my boiler will be in safe hands from now on.

My boiler broke down this December and I struggled to get someone out, but luckily Steve was available. From the very start he was really responsive, professional and friendly. When he arrived he took a thorough look over the boiler and started a logical process of elimination which he talked me through. I found this reassuring as I could tell he really did have a lot of experience and was completely transparent with me at all times about potential costs etc. After replacing the two necessary parts the boiler started to work properly again. He was really fair and honest as well as being enjoyable to chat to as well, which makes a big difference to me. If I am going to have a tradesman in my house it's always appreciated when it's someone that you can have a sensible conversation with. I will not only use Steve again for any similar boiler or plumbing problems, I will also be recommending him to others very highly. Thanks Steve.

Absolutely delighted with the job. I cannot recommend Mr Gill highly enough. ******. Steve commissioned and fitted a new boiler for me in an awkward location fitting a new flue with no mess or fuss all priced as quoted. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly Steve kept me updated on progress from quote to completion. He ensured that I was happy and confident with how the timer / programmer functions work, which is simple now I know how. My new A efficiency boiler with 10 year warranty was fitted, tested, registered and working ahead of schedule and Steve left the place cleaner than it was before. One of my neighbours passed by and mentioned during the job that Mr Gill is well respected and known for the high standard of his work. I'm more than confident to recommend Steve Gill to friends and family myself. 6* Very hardworking honest and tidy plumber and heating engineer. Already asked him to do the annual maintenance next year.

Stephen quoted promptly to replace our old CH boiler and quickly gave a date for the start of work. He arrived on time and worked quickly and efficiently with very little disruption until the job was completed. He was polite and knowledgeable. He tidied up well both during and after the installation. A really good job and done to budget. I would thoroughly recommend him. I will use him to service my installation in the future.

Stephen has replaced old radiators and fitted a new lever instead of a conventional tap outside. He took time to discuss our needs regarding our heating and provided good advice about replacement radiators. We are very pleased with the work he carried out. Stephen worked efficiently, left everything clean and tidy and was reasonably priced. His initial visit was an emergency and he came promptly which we were so grateful for. He also took time to repair a leaking boiler pipe which we were unaware of when our radiators were being replaced. This was not part of the job but he was happy to help us out. We would recommend Stephen unreservedly.

Stephen is a knowledgable, honest and helpful plumber. He changed a valve on my boiler and the invoice was as agreed. I would have liked to leave a more positive review but his time management was extremely poor so if you have an urgent issue I could not recommend him.

I contacted Steve as he is a Viessmann boiler (Which Best Buy September 2017) trained and listed fitter. He came around promptly to view the current arrangement and the new location as I wanted the new boiler fitted in the loft. We agreed the work to be carried and he quoted for it a week later. Steve arrived to carry out the work as arranged and worked hard to complete the installation in good time. The quality of workmanship is very good and was carried out professionally, with minimal mess and disruption. Steve took into account the additional work that I am carrying out on the heating and water system, advising on approach and even fitting extra valves to facilitate the work. The operation of the boiler and controls was fully explained to our satisfaction. We have retained Steve to carry out the annual service and I will have no hesitation recommending his services to anyone in the future.

I initially contacted Steve to fix a problem I had with my W.C. He fixed this really quickly and I asked if he would be able to install a shower over an existing bath. A previous plumber had told this could not be done... Steve assessed the job rapidly and he helped to suggest a range of products including an ideal mixer tap, shower rail and riser. When the original choice of tap didn’t work out, he was amazing and persevered with it all until we got exactly the right thing. The work he carried out is faultless and he is invariably polite, efficient and highly skilled. I would strongly recommend Steve and his services. He could not have done it better and his terms are very reasonable.

I contacted Steve to fit a new boiler at my elderly mother’s house. He gave me a reasonable quote and even though the job wasn’t the most straightforward and there were a few complications along the way, the price remained as quoted. He was easy to contact when I had queries and did his genuine best to deal with a few issues we had with the heating system which were not easy to identify because my mother has short term memory loss and information was a bit unreliable! Steve stayed tolerant and helpful throughout. His personal service is excellent. An honest and reliable tradesman.

When Steve first visited us, he quickly diagnosed the most likely faults in our old boiler and gave us options for repair or replacement. When we asked for a replacement, he quickly sent us a financial quote and a proposed start date. When we accepted the quote, he turned up on the proposed date and worked in a thoroughly professional and personable way. He fitted a new Which? Best Buy boiler. He kept the work space clean and tidy and he finished the job in the allotted time. He even discovered and isolated a gas leak, which we hadn't known about. My wife and I would recommend Steve to any householder in Exeter or East Devon.

We have used Stephen several times for different jobs, the most recent one being an installation of a new boiler and he does the annual reassessment for us. His first job was installing a radiator for us on 3 separate occasions, and he did such a great job that we just had to have him back! Whilst we had a new extension on the house we were even happy enough to leave Stephen with our house key to let himself in and complete the job - he is highly reliable and great at his job
