Vaillant ASHP installation
Joe and Sam from Town Gas installed a 7kw Vaillant ASHP to our renovated detached chalet bungalow, Joe guided us through the initial design and quote, including a heat loss survey. They turned up on the date scheduled and fitted the HP, HW cylinder, and associated pipe, including the wiring and commissioning on the first two days. They finished off doing the pipe insulation and hand over on the third day. They were very polite, efficient and hard working, and I would highly recommend them for all your plumbing.

Good replacement of CH boiler and controls
Joe gave advice on replacing our very ancient central heating boiler and provided a quote promptly which met our requirements more accurately than other companies. David came on the promised date and time to install the boiler and controls. Up to date thermostatic radiator valves were fitted conveniently while the system was drained down. We found Town Gas services friendly and professional throughout. David did a thorough clear up and was also thorough in explaining how to work the new system.

I can Highly Recommend Town Gas for all your Domestic Plumbing Requirements.
My 10+year old combi boiler failed at a most inconvenient time, just as the start of the colder weather. I contacted my regular plumbing company Town Gas who responded promptly and gave a very detailed and accurate assessment of the condition of the boiler. I agreed that the boiler should be replaced & Town Gas gave me guidance for the best choice for my home. They then provided a detailed written breakdown of the work involved, the cost of the replacement boiler & associated equipment & the estimate. Despite the fact that Town Gas were very busy they adjusted their work & fitted me into their schedule within ten days. The Town Gas Team arrived promptly. They were very tidy workers & were very respectful of my home. The installation was completed within allotted time & estimate. The old boiler & associated equipment was removed to be disposed of & I was given a comprehensive brief on the operation of the new boiler. Town Gas contacted me by telephone 48 hours after the installation to follow up that I was completely happy with the new boiler. I had a couple of questions which Town Gas responded to promptly. I must say that Town Gas are a first class company & I would not hesitate to recommend them for all your domestic plumbing requirements. Thank you Town Gas.

The best by far
We needed a firm that could rip-out our bathroom to the bare walls. We required a qualified plasterer, carpenter, electrician, tiler and of course plumbers. Town Gas organised everything for us and project managed the whole thing which made the whole experience painless. Every craftsman was respectful, polite, friendly, helpful, extremely qualified, experienced and professional and all tidied up after themselves. I cannot recommend this company highly enough.

A very satisfied customer
I am a long term member of Which and the Trusted Traders is invaluable. I contacted Town Gas with a plumbing problem and from initial contact with Leah, on site visit from Joe, prompt issue of a quote for installation of an Unvented Hot Water System with some other plumbing/gas works which was clearly costed and ultimately work completed by Joe and Sam, their service has been exceptional. They are experienced and knowledgeable, conscientious, polite and friendly and the work was completed on time and invoiced as per their quotation. More importantly for me as a 76 year old woman living alone they were patient. They took time to explain what they were doing and how the system operated more than once which reassured me and I have no hesitation in recommending them and will certainly call on them in the future. From start to finish - a job well done.

Complete Central Heating Boiler and Control Replacement
All the staff at Town Gas are a delight to deal with. From quotation to finished install they have been nothing but fantastic. Sam completed a full replacement of our aging boiler and broken central heating control system. The work was carried out efficiently and with an attention to detail rarely found these days. The newly installed system was explained in full and Sam even recorded some instructional videos as I was unable to be present on the final day. Nothing was too much trouble and it is obvious this company takes pride in it's work and the customer service it provides. We shall certainly be using them in the future. A big thank you to all the team at Town Gas!

Heat pump Installation
Town Gas completed the installation of my Vaillant heat pump over two days. Joe carried out an initial survey to ensure the house and existing radiators were suitable for heat pump heating. The result was that I had to change most radiators, but I was confident that the survey was thorough and the results accurate to go forward. The installation team were careful and considerate and worked quickly and efficiently to remove the old boiler and cylinder and fit the new equipment. We were up and running with hot water at the end of day one. I would have no hesitation in recommending Town Gas to my friends and family and I will use them for regular servicing from today.

Above and beyond all expectations
From my very first enquiry about changing my ancient gas boiler for a heat pump, it was clear that Joe knew his trade. He listened to my needs and worked out what would work best for me - essentially, a new, 'green' heating & HW system, plus new radiators. He steered me through the planning permission application and managed the grant process too. When Sam & Dave arrived for the installation, they were equally professional and friendly. More than that, it was an absolute pleasure having both of them around. They respected my home, worked well with other tradesmen and did their best to make sure I was as warm as possible in the circumstances. They also kept me informed at every stage and tidied up before leaving each day. Honestly, nothing was too much trouble for Sam - these days, it's rare that tradespeople are so helpful and considerate; if I could, I'd give Town Gas more than five stars! I really couldn't have wished for a better result and so glad I gave up waiting for an ASHP through an energy supplier's scheme. I'll certainly arrange all future servicing through Town Gas. Thanks guys, and enjoy a very well-earned Christmas break.

Great service!
I have been using Town Gas for several years for annual boiler servicing and other small plumbing jobs. So when my boiler stopped working at the end of October I called and spoke to Leah who quickly arranged for Joe to come out to see what the problem was. It was established that I needed to replace by boiler, on the same day I received a detailed quote and within 5 days the work was completed. Joe and his team at Town Gas provide the very highest standards and nothing is too much trouble, including a demo on how new system worked. I would 100% recommend them - well done guys, you're amazing!

Excellent. Excellent. Excellent.
This is the friendliest most professional company that I have had the pleasure of dealing with. I highly recommend them. We required a full gas central heating system fitted into a 1930s bungalow, we have lived in the bungalow for 20+ years relying on old night storage heating. We were apprehensive about fitting central heating envisaging mess and ugly pipes everywhere. We couldn’t have been more wrong. Initially we explored the option of an air source heat pump with Joe from Town gas, he was extremely helpful providing us with a quote for this and access to previous customers who had air source, he gave us open advice with no coercion and was very supportive when due to the age of and difficulty with fully insulating our place we decided to go with gas central heating which involved us getting gas connected up to the property. We were given a comprehensive quote for a gas central heating system including a combi boiler and convection radiators with copper piping. It took Joe and Dave from Town gas one week to complete the installation. They kept us updated throughout. They worked cleanly and professionally and we were very impressed. We are now the proud owners of an impressive gas central heating system, modern with a central control panel in the hallway and a lovely warm house. They also fitted a shower unit for us and went the extra mile tidying up afterwards. The final price was extremely reasonable and came in at less than the original quote. Excellent.

Problem not diagnosed correctly
On a positive note, the booking of the boiler maintenance was efficient , easy and the engineer arrived at the agreed time. Unfortunately the engineer did not diagnose the problem with the boiler despite the error code that suggested a failed sensor. He informed us that it was just a drop in pressure and just reset the pressure which we had done many times before and why we called a so called expert. It was an expensive mistake. We did discuss this with Town Gas but they believe that they had fixed the problem. We have since had the issue fixed by another engineer that actually listened to us and diagnosed the problem correctly.

Thank you Town Gas
I had an intermittent problem with a valve in my Hot Water/Central Heating System which I reported to Town Gas on Monday 4 April. The telephone booking system was very efficient and it was arranged that a plumber would call on Friday 8 April. The plumber (Dave) arrived on time, respected the Covid requirements and fitted a replacement valve in an efficient, tidy manner. I have used Town Gas for a number of jobs in the past including replacing my log burning stove with a gas fire and have always found their staff polite and efficient. I have a monthly service contract with Town Gas and would certainly highly recommend them as a reliable company to deal with all your domestic plumbing and heating requirements.

Genuine and professional
We do not usually write reviews but it is not often you see people taking a pride in their work such as Town Gas Services. We had a complete renewal of our heating system and the standard and quality was impressive and together with an outstanding friendly service made the experience easy and comfortable. Right from the start when Joe came to advise us and Sam & Alex completed the work, it was like having family in your home. Thank you for everything. 😊

One of the Best Decisions I have ever made
When I moved to this area 6 years ago I can safely say that one of the best decisions I made was to take out a Town Gas Maintenance Contract. I have the central heating and gas fire serviced on an annual basis and I am only liable for the spare parts required for any repairs the labour being covered by the Town Gas Maintenance Contact. I have always found the Town Gas staff to be polite, efficient and knowledgeable. As an example, the work this invoice refers to, was to replace the hot water expansion vessel and check the pressure in the system. The fault was reported on 26th August 2021, the Town Gas plumber (Alex) arrived promptly the next day and quickly diagnosed the fault. Despite the fact that it was a Bank Holiday the parts were obtained and the work was completed by 31st August. Alex was prompt, polite, and respected our home and the Covid requirements. He was a very tidy worker and obviously did a good job because the fault has been completely rectified. Over the years I have had a number of jobs completed by Town Gas, including, removing a log burning stove and replacing it with a gas fire, replacing two radiators, etc... and I have always been impressed by their professional staff and their standard of workmanship. The work was always completed to the agreed schedule and budget. From my experiences, I really cannot recommend Town Gas more highly.

Town Gas goes above & beyond to deliver the best results!
Town Gas was part of a great team I worked with to completely renovate a very tired bungalow. From the very start, Joe and his team were incredibly helpful and advised me on different available options from heating sources to loos! A new boiler was installed, new radiators throughout, a new kitchen, new bathroom and cloakroom. They were very respectful of my timeline and always completed the jobs in time for other traders to continue with their part. We have used Town Gas several times before and I can highly recommend them on reliability, price and excellent quality of their work. A very big thank you from me to the whole team involved!

Town Gas was recommended to me by my usual plumber who was snowed under with work. Everybody at Town Gas was efficient and friendly. They repaired a problem with my soil pipe quickly and efficiently and the cost was very reasonable.

Boiler service
Customer service is faultless and, so far, we have used them for boiler service and installation of a water softener. As soon as they were able this year (due to coronavirus restrictions) they turned up to service our boiler. Friendly, professional and efficient and talked us through what had been done.

Top service
Joe and he’s team fitted a full central heating system to replace the old air flow system due to the lockdown Town gas had limited staff but completed the job in four days I was impressed with the tidy manner they worked ,always hoovered up at the end of the day which pleased the wife. They never tried to do things there way always asked where you wanted the pipework and radiators and was done exactly how you wanted it . Special mention to George and David who were there for most of the time very approachable and always willing. I would recommend Town Gas 100% and would not hesitate to have them do work for me in the future.

Prompt and efficient installation of environmentally friendly central heating and hot water system
We needed to renew the Central Heating System of gas boiler and radiators in the 30 year old bungalow we had recently purchased. Town gas had supplied me with excellent boiler and plumbing maintenance in various properties for some years. They suggested that I might like to replace the gas boiler based system by an environmentally friendly Heat Exchanger System, which would supply central heating and hot water. I knew of heat exchange's, but was under the impression that they could only work in conjunction with warm air underfloor heating. However Town gas advised me that it would work with radiators if we had slightly larger ones. The installation was completed as promised within a week with consideration of us and every care taken of our home, ensuring we knew in advance when we would be without heating, water, or electricity (less than two hours). This consideration applied to both the plumbers and the electricians involved and the cost was as quoted in the detailed quote I had received. The system is up and running efficiently with only a periodic gentle hum from the heat exchange fitted to the rear wall of our bungalow. We are delighted.

Underground leak
Although I have a contract with town gas it does not cover leaks in piping underground. Having heard the water running, but no visible leak I called town Gas. Prompt arrival confirmed there was a leak, but somewhere below my home. My home insurance covers tracing and exposing such leaks, but not the repair. Town Gas advised me as to how to proceed, and when the leak was exposed came back to my home, in an amazingly short time, and repaired the leak whilst the exposing companies staff, were still in attendance. The whole service I got, from this company, was excellent, despite the problems being caused in obtaining help during the Corona Virus. I would thoroughly recommend their services

Excellent work
I had my boiler replaced yesterday and was totally impressed. George, Dave and Sam arrived at 8.30am totally aware of Corona Virus wearing gloves and speaking to me from the lounge door. By 4pm they had completely finished the job, this included hoovering and disinfecting the kitchen surfaces and all the door handles they had touched. They all worked so hard and I received excellent service. I would recommend this company unreservedly.

Kitchen sink replacement
From initial enquiry through quotation process and work completed, the whole experience was very impressive. Joe carried out the work on time and to a very high, professional standard. He also cleaned up afterwards (meeting Caroline's exacting standards) and took the old sink away with him - we didn't ask him to! We have already engaged Joe to replace a fan assembly in our ageing boiler and cannot recommend Town Gas highly enough! Roger & Caroline Payne

Outstanding, professional service.
Great customer service from start to finish. The whole team at Town Gas were exceptional, from our very first contact with Sue in the office, Joe who carried out the quotation and the team of engineers - Sam, Dave, George & Matt made what can be a very stressful & disruptive procedure acceptable in every respect. Everything from the quote stage to installation was handled professionally, the engineers were polite, friendly & mindful of the fact that they were in our home & treated us & our property with respect, they were on time every day & left each day having hovered & tidied. It's really refreshing dealing with a company who go the extra mile and really care about their work & their customers. We would have no hesitation in recommending Town Gas to our friends & family.
