Gas fitter and electrician.
The office and in the main, I had no issue with. Always polite, informative of times, booking in, etc. perfect.
The gas fitter came fairly punctually, did the job well and left. There was a little bit of inconvenience with the disposal of the old gas cooker, as he had told me he'd arranged someone to pick it up but it sat there for 3 days until in the end I had to pay for it to be taken away.
Still not a huge issue.
The problem I had was with the electrician. I won't name him here but I do know it, as two came to do the job.
Firstly, he/they didn't turn up at all on the day booked. Not a word or a text to say why, despite my having to put the whole day on hold.
When he came on the next day booked, he was openly hostile from the second I opened the door. Overly defensive, no apology.
Any question I asked was met with a thinly veiled scorn I have never witnessed in all my years as a paying customer. He didn't like it when I asked him to set up my cooker either, despite it being part of the job.
I might use the firm in the future (might) but NEVER send me that person again.
Edit after reply.
1. Dan was not on time, he was a bit late but it wasn't an issue.
2. I never said the disposal of the cooker was included in the contract. Dan said he would dispose of it, via his contact.
I did inform you he hadn't been to pick up the cooker and then 3 days later, did it myself - why so defensive? Why are you making this an issue where there wasn't one.
As for your electrician, it wasn't the fact that he didn't show, it was his hostility and attitude when he did.

"I was let down by another plumber who didn't turn up when they said they would. My new kitchen is being delivered the next day and I was panicking. I saw a post about DPB Plumbing & Heating on Facebook - All things Scarborough page. I rang them and spoke to Louise, a lovely lady, really helpful. I explained my situation and she arranged for Alfie to come and complete the work the same day. Alfie came on time, really polite and professional. He did an excellent job for a reasonable price and I couldn't be happier with both the first and second fix. I would definitely recommend. In fact I'd say don't bother looking elsewhere just go straight to DPB for a reliable, friendly and professional service."
Good job. Friendly guys. Came back out same day to resolve issue.
Dan arrived bang on time. He was polite, efficient and very tidy. He paid attention to all aspects of the heating system prior to fitting 2 new radiator valves.
I would rate DPB very highly. Each time we have used them, they have proved excellent!"
We recently had an en suite bathroom fitted We found the staff very efficient & professional throughout & a special mention for Rob who was here through most of the process & worked extremely hard He was professional , reliable & friendly
There were one or two hiccups during the process which were handled sorted out very quickly & efficiently
We are very pleased with the result & would highly recommend them
Extremely satisfied with the quality of work carried out. Very efficient and polite staff with excellent knowledge of the trade.Very helpful and took pride in their work. We would highly recommend this company.
Excellent job from Danny and his team to install new combi boiler. Left tidy, all rubbish removed. Office staff helpful and friendly. Were recommended to us and we would have no hesitation recommending DPB also.

Just excellent: punctual, courteous, tidy, professional and competent. Big job completed in less than the 3 days predicted. Great to have the follow-up to make sure we were satisfied. Looking forward to DBP doing the next project - new bathroom.
Can’t fault them. They came out when they said they would, found the problem then came back to fix it promptly. Thankyou !
I called DPB plumbing and heating to carry out a routine yearly service on my gas boiler.
From the initial call to the work been carried out I can honestly say this company is extremely professional and I would not hesitate to use them in the future and would recommend them to anyone.
The engineer Dan who came was very polite and even repaired my bath tap free of charge as he was already on site!
Excellent service. Called the receptionist who answered the phone 1st time, an engineer came out within the hour. Leak mended, part replaced on boiler. Both engineers very polite and knowledgeable. No hard sell but it made sense to take out a monthly plan to cover annual servicing and priority callout. Now I have peace of mind.

We were very pleased with the work carried out by DPB plumbing. We had a new bath and shower unit installed. The work was done to a high standard, all the mess was cleared up and removed and the work completed on time. We will certainly use them again.
