Our 20-year plus old central heating boiler needed replacing and we agreed an installation date with The Boiler Engineer (Wayne) in January. However, the old one decided to die just before Christmas (great timing!). Thankfully, Wayne was able to bring forward the replacement work and by the 20th December, we had a new one fitted and working. It was not the easiest installation due to limited access and changeover to a condensing type system, but the work was done very neatly by Ben and helper, and to the agreed budget. The work identified we had a small gas leak in an old pipe but again, Wayne got that fixed very quickly. We were extremely pleased at how responsive and helpful the BE team were and I have no hesitation in recommending their services.

I thought my heating system was wrecked. They were in the property within 24 hours of me calling them. They phoned me in the morning , had the pump replaced and the whole thing up and running within 2 hours. No fuss. Transparency around the fees all the way through. What I thought would be a headache, turned out to be effortless.

I had a new boiler fitted by the boiler engineer in July I couldn’t fault the guys who did the job & Tracey in the office. I have just noticed a leak (WHICH IS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEIR WORK) I rang for help/advice & they sent someone round immediately he found the problem which was a leaking toilet & advised how best to deal with it. It is so rare to find trades people who are genuine I felt I needed to write a review I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them WELL DONE

First class work

It goes without saying that from the outset my dealings with The Boiler Engineer and in particular Wayne Chapman have been first class. My mother-in-law is 91 years old, has Alzheimer’s and lives alone in Elham Kent. My wife and I live in Buckingham some 150 miles away and can only travel down about once per month. Mums boiler ran on oil and and although only 7 years old it was recently condemned by the local fire department. The tank also had a huge split. I called TBE and spoke with Wayne. He agreed to meet me at the cottage at a time to suit. From our first meeting I felt in safe hands. He laid out a plan and pricing structure which was confirmed in great detail by email within 24 hours. We agreed to go ahead and fixed a date. The job would take 3 full days and would include the removal of the 1000 litre oil tank (a very difficult task given its location) - The team arrived at the agreed time and started work immediately. Removing an extremely heavy oil boiler from a 2 up/2 down cottage is no mean feat, as well as the old flu!! Ronnie and Dan had installed the new Worcester Bosch LPG by the end of the first day. We had taken mum out for a trip so as she was not stressed. On arriving home we were all taken back by how clean the boys had left the cottage. The job was completed on time and with everything in place. After a short tutorial Ronnie and Dan left. These two guys are a credit to the company and I cannot recommend the whole team more highly. Good communication,

Annual service carried out this morning by Ben and his colleague. They arrived on time and worked efficiently and cleanly, were polite and explained a minor problem identified. This will require a new part that will be ordered in due course. I was very happy with the service provided

Decent work but invoicing not transparent & overcharged
Customer Service
Quality
Value
Be careful with their invoicing. The company owner believes quoting for additional work after finishing the job counts as billable labour. This wasn't communicated so I questioned it and met with explanations that they didn't charge to quote and obtain parts for the job (from the previous service) so this is effectively included in the invoice. Super shady, not transparent. Won't be using them again for this reason. It's a shame because they were efficient with the actual work they carried out.

The trader replied (on 03/07/2023)
Thank you for the review, I am pleased you are very happy with our engineers and the work carried out. It is a shame we may have lost you as a customer as you do not understand our terms and conditions, of which we are 100% transparent and even publish them on our website. When you called us originally you booked for a boiler service only and didn't mention any other issues when asked on the telephone, when our engineer attended he carried out and completed the boiler service as requested, but you then asked him to look at an issue you were experiencing on the hot water cylinder and if we could fix this for you, which isn’t a problem and we did this for you, this is charged as a separate job and unrelated to a boiler service. A boiler service is a service, and a repair is a separate job, and all labour and materials are charged in addition. All other works/advice is charged as per the time our engineer is at your property, If you are wishing to use our engineer's time showing and explaining things within your property this is perfectly fine, and we are happy to help and advise but unfortunately this time is charged, just like most other professional services you are charged for the time. We are very proud of the fantastic work our engineers and office staff carry out for the thousands of customers we have served over the 24+ years.

The engineer was prompt on the day and carried out the servicing of my LPG gas appliances and safety checks as required. The job was completed on time and to the price quoted.

I contacted The Boiler Engineer with an unusual problem I was experiencing with my boiler. They sent an engineer the same day who was friendly, professional and did a thorough investigation and explained to us what he thought the problem was using layman's language. This is the only company we trust to deliver a great and reliable service.

We had TBE round to replace an LPG combi boiler. They arrived on time, removed the old boiler, fitted the new one, sorted out all the peripherals, flushed the radiators, and checked it all for operation and safety. They were polite, professional and very clean. From our initial contact , through the quote and completion of the work, they were spot on. Highly recommended!

My request for urgent attention to my central heating boiler was carried out within and hour and a half of my telephone call. The engineer carried a good supply of spare parts and quickly identified that a new pump was required which he fitted there and then. He also needed to drain the whole system, and later to bleed radiators etc before turning on the much improved heating. Thank you for a very prompt response
