Report
Plumbing We have the experience and the knowledge to solve everything from a plumbing related problem, to the design and installation of a new bathroom, cloakroom or wet room. We undertake complete, or part refurbishments and have specialist tillers, electricians and plasterers for that perfect finish.
We're an established family business who are proud of the reputation we've built. And we work hard every day to keep it. We think you'll find out how, when you experience the quality of our workmanship, excellent customer service and the value for money we provide. Of course when it comes to providing quality, we strongly believe in training of the highest standard.
Monoxide (CO) is produced when carbon based fuels such as gas are not burnt correctly. This can be caused by incorrect installation of gas appliances and their flues. Incorrect ventilation and lack of servicing can also cause an appliance to burn incorrectly. If the flames appear lazy and yellow and appliances are surrounded by large amounts of soot, these are tell-tale signs that Carbon Monoxide is being produced. Turn the appliance off immediately and call us. Exposure to Carbon Monoxide can cause headaches, nausea, dizziness, fatigue and flu-like symptoms.
We never stop working to find the most reliable, efficient and cost effective heating products on the market. Having worked for the British Standards Institute and The Building Research Establishment, we are best placed to offer you the right advice on product selection and compatibility. We also work closely with Vaillant boilers and are able to offer a full 7-year guarantee on all our boiler replacements.
Mr Howard did two jobs at my son's house. Having recently moved to the area, we had no knowledge of local tradesmen so turned to Which? Trusted Traders and chose this company because of the very good reviews. Simon and Carlo arrived promptly and worked quickly and efficiently to install our new heating and hot water system, and we are delighted with the results. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending their services and will certainly call on them in the future for our plumbing requirements.

I have know Simon Howard for almost 25 years. He installed our central heating about 16 years ago and did a great job. He services the boiler each year and we call him whenever we have a heating problem. The transmitter for the wireless thermostat broke and he managed to attend the same day and replaced it. He is always polite, extremely knowledgeable and a clean and efficient worker.

I do not know how his prices compare to others but even if he is not the cheapest around I would not use anyone else as functioning efficient heating is so important. I am happy to recommend him.
