The John Lewis of plumbing

A highly professional company, no wonder Worcester Bosch uses them. The plumber sent out to take out my old boiler and install a new one was excellent - arriving on time, working calmly and quietly through the day and completing the job as requested. Recommended.

Excellent Customer Service

We had a boiler service as a part of our Care Plan. The engineer attended at the allotted time and was friendly and professional. Unfortunately, the hot water didn't come on the next day, but it was a sticking valve and no fault attached to what was done in the service. We had a telephone call back the same day and an engineer came out and fixed the issue the next day, but said that the valve could stick again and so Custom Heat would replace the valve as a part of the Care Plan at no additional cost.
We are delighted with the organisation which does exactly what it says it will do on the tin!
Superb customer service.

Really pleased to hear the air conditioning unit is performing so well after its service — a thorough clean really does make a noticeable difference. It's great to know the team kept everything neat and tidy throughout the job too, as we always aim to leave a space exactly as we found it.

Their service is very slow and expensive.

Our boiler wasn't working. They came very late. Even their office was closed. The engineer couldn't get a quote or part. so had to wait in the cold another day.
Also, they quoted a very high amount and 2 weeks time period. I got it fixed the same day for a third of their quote! Their service is very slow and expensive.
