Boiler Service

Over the years I have had excellent service from this Company. The engineer has carried out gas safety checks on my boiler for the last 3 years and he has told me when a part needs replacing, I have had no faults between services.

Excellent plumbing from a conscious worker

We have used 1st call gas for 13 years and everything they have done has been first class. All the plumbers/gas fitters have done excellent work, they arrive on time, do a good job, they are always polite and clean up afterwards. We recently had Kile and he was outstanding. He was exceedingly conscientious, checking and ensuring everything was done correctly. There were 3 separate jobs, the last being to balance the radiators over the 4 levels in our house. He managed what I failed to do even with YouTube videos and what another tradesman failed twice to rectify. Kile was very knowledgeable and clearly explained the problems and how he was sorting the various radiators. A most pleasant and personable person. I have no hesitation in recommending 1st call gas.

1st Class Service

Our Combi boiler needed replacing urgently, as the diaphragm had burst and the boiler was condemned. We were recommended 1st Call Gas Services and gave them a call to se if they could come and give us a quote. As soon as I mentioned the urgency of the job an appointment was booked for the same morning. We also got quotes from other Companies but decided to go with 1st Call Gas Services as they gave us numerous options for the boiler and different warranty options too. On the morning of the installation Darrell and Theo arrived promptly, were extremely polite and friendly. They explained what they would need to do . They then just got on with the job. Once the installation was complete, Darrell gave a demonstration as to how the boiler worked and let us ask questions . Before they left they tidied up and disposed of the old boiler and associated pipework.

Replacement of T3R Thermostat

We rang up because we had an intermittent fault with the thermostat and an appointment was made for the next day. The engineer arrived on time and was very friendly. He gave us all the options and no pressure was made to update and spend money on a new thermostat. He said we had been very unlucky that the previous one had started to fail, but we decided to get a new one rather than keep having to call out. We have used this company for several years and would highly recommend them.

Annual boiler service

1st Call Gas Services have been an excellent company to deal with. When booking my annual service they are always polite and arrange a time to suit me,always telling the name of who to expect and time window. I got a call 15 mins before he arrived and he even left his shoes on the step. Very efficient and thorough, always polite. I would'nt hesitate to recommend them.

Annuual gas boiler service review

Appointment was for 8am. The fitter rang ahead at about 740 to say he was on his way and arrived ahead of time. He showed me how clean the boiler was and completed his work quickly and efficiently. We paid for this top quality gas boiler and it is now 6 years old. Very satisfied and a further 6 years of warranty remains. Always been happy with their services and expect that to continue.

Yearly Service of Boiler

I have used this company since they installed my new boiler some 6 years or so ago. They have never let me down, they contact me to arrange a date for the service at the end of each year and make a date for the beginning of the next year. Their staff are ultra friendly and helpful and the tradesman that carry oyt the work are very professional indeed, explaining exactly what they are doing along the way. I can't recommend them enough.

Outstanding: helpful, efficient, kind, integrity

I have used 1st Call Gas Services to service my boiler annually and they have been really good. This year, on the day when everyone awoke to freezing conditions, our boiler wasn't working. We are on the 'vulnerable' list and when I contacted them, they could not have been more helpful, kind and reassuring. Soon someone was here, explained the problem, made a temporary fix because they explained that as it was under warranty, I needed to get the manufacturer in to replace the valve. They could have easily done it and I'd have paid. But they have integrity and honesty, and did what was best for us. Honestly, from the person who answers the 'phone to the person who comes and fixes the issue, can't fault them - so helpful and kind.

Boiler service - would definitely recommend

Had my boiler serviced by 1st Call Gas Services. The engineer was due at 8 a.m. and arrived exactly on time. He was tidy, efficient and everything was completed on schedule with the previously agreed price. The same company fitted the boiler a year ago and did a great job.

I get an email reminder and call them to arrange a date. The engineer calls to let me know the time of arrival and they are always friendly, professional and clean, giving advice if necessary. I would highly recommend this company.

Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 22 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
Verify at the sourceCheck them yourself

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 register
Agree 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.
