Highlights

We recently decided to replace our back boiler and radiators with a brand-new combi boiler system. Expert Advice: During the initial quote, Michael took the time to explain the requirements and location of the new Baxi combi boiler and radiators to ensure every room stays perfectly warm. Professional Installation: Moving from a back boiler to a combi is a big job involving significant pipework changes. Michael and Bob handled it with incredible skill, keeping the workspace tidy and minimising disruption. Efficiency & Quality: The new system makes such a difference and the heat output from the new radiators is a huge difference compared to our old setup. Friendly & Reliable: Michael and Bob were punctual, polite, and clearly took great pride in their work. From start to finish, the experience was seamless. I can highly recommend Gallaghers Gas and we will definitely be using them in the future.

Michael has looked after my central heating system for several years now, recently replacing an old tank system for a combi boiler. During the fitting he arrived on time each day, discussed any issues so we could agree a solution and cleaned up throughout the day. Work was completed to his usual high standard. All in all top service, 10/10

Chris MarleyTrustATrader5.0 rating

We cannot praise Michael Gallagher highly enough. Since we moved to the area in May 2023 we have used him for boiler servicing, and he has always been available to answer any questions and to offer his advice. We decided to have a new boiler fitted and to have some radiators changed/moved and he came back with an acceptable quote within 24 hours. We booked him in for 10 days later and the work was completed in just 2 days. His work is excellent, very clean and tidy, and he takes the time to explain everything in detail. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending him. We are very pleased with everything.

Livvy5.0 / 5 ·

Although this tradesman could not get out to me. He gave me helpful advice that resolved the issue. I am incredibly grateful, as Michael saved me an expensive callout fee for what turned out to be a simple job I could fix myself. This is exactly what is meant by TRUST a trader. I’d use him for other work in future, knowing he will not take advantage or overly charge.

Very professional, communicated throughout the installation, was happy to answer any questions. Old boiler removed and new one fitted within a day, complete with all required testing and certification. All packaging etc removed and the area cleaned after completion. Excellent service with back up if any problems occur. I have no reservations about recommending this firm, and wil certainly be using for any future work.

I needed a new boiler with old one and water tank removed. Michael assessed the job for me to have a combi boiler replacement. He emailed me a price and timescale that evening. I was happy to go ahead and Michael has done a brilliant job, on time leaving no mess. He is so polite, amenable and I would highly recommend him. Thank you Michael.

Michael came to our home offering advice on a new fire as we weren't sure on gas or electric. He answered all of our questions we had... Removing our old gas fire he did efficiently.. Friendly guy and treated our property with respect.. We have had many tradesmen let us down in the past ,I'm very pleased Michael responded very quickly. We will definitely recommend him to friends and friends if in need of a gas engineer.. We would just like to say thank you for the advice you had given us..

Michael did a great job replacing our boiler and radiators. He has been our plumber and gas service engineer for 10 years and has always been reliable, efficient, well-priced and a pleasure to know.

Amy5.0 / 5 ·

I was recommended to contact Michael by a friend who he completed some work for earlier in the year, as I had a problem with my boiler. Straight away from speaking to Michael on the phone I was happy with the level of service he seemed committed to. When he came out to take a look at the issue, he thoroughly explained what he was looking for and what he would intend to do to fix it. It turned out the boiler couldn't be fixed so Michael quoted me for a new one, but it wasn't to be a straightforward job! Michael had to replace multiple pipework that had previously been done incorrectly as well as installing a new flue and having to find a better place externally for the flue to come out of. In addition there were a number of unexpected complications on the day but Michael found solutions to every problem. He worked so hard and was here late in order to finish the installation in one day and we couldn't be happier!

Gas work is restricted by law to Gas Safe registered engineers. If they'll touch a boiler or any gas appliance, confirm they're currently on the register before you hire - it's free and takes a minute.

Check the Gas Safe Register
By law, anyone working on your gas appliances must be on the Gas Safe Register. Ask to see their Gas Safe ID card and check the licence number at gassaferegister.co.uk before they start.
Never let an unregistered person touch your gas: unsafe gas work risks carbon monoxide poisoning, fire and explosion, and is a criminal offence.
For a boiler or appliance install, get the work and price in writing and keep the Gas Safe / Building Regulations certificate they are required to give you.
