As a local landlord, I use this company regularly and as usual, they were fast to respond, competent and fairly-priced. Always polite and helpful and very good at dealing with tenants - even the ones that can't be bothered with a safety check or are sometimes a little difficult. Importantly, I can rely on them -Paul will do what he says, when he says and is always contactable in an emergency.
Comprehensive survey carried out on the property and our requirements. Professional and friendly team onsite for the installation.
Did what they said they would well.
As a property management company we have been working with Bishop Plumbing for years. They are our go to people for anything to do with plumbing and heating. They are always reliable, quick to respond, with high quality work and they as a company have your best interest at heart. Would highly recommend.
I took out an annual service plan and care plan. I requested a Service prior to Christmas and this was done promptly with some good help and advice on using the heating. Bishop plumbing had put in my new boiler some 12 months earlier and it has been excellent, efficient and reliable.

Simon who did our boiler service was great and now done for another year. Will be using again and highly recommend to everyone !
A pleasing attitude and willing to take time to explain.
Paul has carried out central heating and plumbing work for us for many years here and at our previous address. Highly recommend
We had a full installation of a new gas boiler, heating system and thermostat fitted to modern standards. The engineers were polite, arrived on time, worked till late and explained the Nest technology of the system. Bishop is a very professional company and should be on everyone's local contact list next to major names.

What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.

Approved plumbers on the free WaterSafe register are vetted, qualified to the water regulations and insured. Check they're listed, or find a WaterSafe-approved plumber near you.
Check the WaterSafe registerAgree the call-out fee, the hourly or fixed rate, and whether parts are charged on top, in writing, before an emergency plumber starts. Out-of-hours overcharging and 'while I'm here' add-ons are common complaints.
Be wary of a plumber who, on a first visit, says your whole system or boiler must be replaced. Get a second opinion and an itemised quote (parts and labour separately) before agreeing to major work.
Gas and boiler work is a separate, regulated trade, not general plumbing. Make sure anyone working on a gas appliance is specifically registered to do gas work, and ask to see that registration before they start.
