Highlights

A new boiler fitted and radiators flushed and cleaned. Gary and Ben were very professional. They explained everything to me that they were doing and were clean and tidy and even phoned after they had finished to see if everything was all okay. I would definitely recommend these people for any plumbing jobs

Replacement boiler installation and completed at short notice which was urgently required due to the cold weather. This firm met all my expectations, quality system installed with excellent workmanship. Very tidy with all waste taken away for disposal. Found Gary to be an honest engineer with good aftercare support. All good for me. Thanks Gary.

Which? Trusted Traders ConsumerWhich? Trusted Traders5.0 rating

As a landlady I have called on this heating engineer to help me out at short notice and I have always found him to be most obliging. He is a first-class heating engineer and services both gas and oil boilers. I have engaged him to look after all my properties on a regular basis. I am very happy with the service he provides, and I wouldn't use anyone else.

Identified and fixed my dad's hot water problem with great customer care

My father's heating system was heating the radiators but not the water. We are so glad to have found FTG Heating via Which. Gary diagnosed and fixed the problem and the hot water system is working brilliantly. Dad had been told by others that a fix would require major expense and disruption. Gary's customer care was excellent - he kept in touch with me as well as my father who is a wonderful and very active man in his 80s, but has some hearing loss. Gary visited my dad who lives in Belfast. As I don't live locally, we had a video call to discuss the problem and Gary's proposed phased approach to diagnosing and fixing the problem. He then went to dad's, fixed the problem in a day without disruption and checked in with dad afterwards to ensure all was well and also kept me posted. Thank you FTG Heating and Gary.

Lifesaver

On our way out for dinner we discovered a pool of water in front of our gas boiler. There was a leak and water running from inside it. Texted Gary at 10 to 6. He replied almost immediately. Was out the following afternoon and fixed the boiler within an hour. Not very often I encounter a tradesperson who is so responsive and reliable. Lovely to have heating and water again with 24hrs!

Gas Boiler

I had a problem with my gas bolier pump. The system was shorting out and shutting down. I rang Gary and he came out the following afternoon. Gary replaced the pump and had the system back up and running brilliantly in a really short space of time. I mentioned to him that part of the radiator was broken in the front hall and he very kindly fixed that too. Excellent, friendly service from Gary at a very reasonable price too. Highly recommended.

New Boiler Installation

Gary had tried to fix our existing boiler and get us through Christmas, unfortunately the boiler didn't make it. Gary made sure we didn't go long without heat and hot water and came out shortly after Christmas and installed a new boiler in a quick and professional manner, nothing was too much trouble and didn't leave until all the checks were done, including flushing the system, bleeding the radiators, now we have heat, hot water, a tidier pipe system internally and externally. I would highly recommend FTG Ltd.

Fitted new boiler

Had my boiler break and contacted Gary. He came round after work and got back to me with a quote within 48hours. He moved a job around for me so he could get it done quicker. Was so professional and great communication the whole way through. Took all rubbish with him and took away my old boiler. Very impressed and would definitely recommend.

Installation of gas boiler and Nest thermostat

Installed new Worcester gas boiler , and Nest thermostat system . Gary was very efficient and the installation was completed on the agreed day and within agreed time frame . Found Gary to be a very pleasant trustworthy individual. Received calls from Gary after the installation to check if everything was ok and to ensure we were happy with the workings of the boiler and the new Nest thermostat system. We struggled with resetting our schedule on the Nest and Gary was happy to call in and help take us through the instructions again . Therefore very happy to recommend Gary to others .

New boiler installation

Very pleased from start to finish. Gary quickly returned my contact request, discussed my needs, suggested alternatives, and, provided an estimate. When agreed he then gave an installation date. The date was confirmed by him again prior to the visit. On the day, his colleague, Ben, arrived to remove the old boiler and carry out any prep work needed so installation was ready when Gary arrived with the new equipment. Both are clean, tidy workers and the installation for me seemed quick and professional. Job done, tested, commissioned by early afternoon. Couldn't be happier. Invoice matched the estimate, so there were no hidden charges. I will definitely use again for any plumbing or heating jobs I need done, and, certainly in a years time when the service is due. Thanks guys.

What to check before you hire

Worth checking yourself
Only a few public reviews are shown. Ask for recent references you can contact.
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.

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.
