"Annual boiler servicing, by Neil Robins on this occasion. Arrived as scheduled and asked about any specific issues. Identified and rectified one issue and then carried out service thoroughly and promptly. Not invoiced yet but DB have done our servicing for some years now and charges have always been reasonable. I have no hesitation in recommending this company."

We had no heating throughout December which was miserable. We decided to have our ancient heating boiler replaced and the installation brought up to regulation standard. We chose DB Heating and after surveying the job on the 11th of January, they provided a detailed and comprehensive fixed price quote without delay. Being a very busy time for installers, we were amazed that they gave a start date of 1st February. They always arrived early, were Covid 19 safe and the crew were friendly, considerate and efficient. Each night the site was tidied. The installation was extremely difficult due to access to the rear of the house for the tank and the necessary position of the boiler. A team of them man-handled the fireproof tank into position and the system was installed very neatly. Our house has never been so warm because the system is so efficient. I would not hesitate to recommend DB Heating to anyone. Thank you all at DB Heating!

DB Heating have been servicing our boiler for several years, they have always be well organised, punctual and polite. Recently they completed an installation of a new toilet and radiator as well as replacing an old radiator. They were as good as always. Ryan and Jack arrived as organised, with a cheery and helpful disposition they worked solidly throughout the day to complete the job and cleaned up after themselves. We would have no hesitation in recommending DB Heating and will continue to use them ourselves.

Excellent service from start to finish, from the initial call to their office the response was excellent, the engineer arrived on the agreed time and quickly diagnosed the issue. Would thoroughly recommend.
