Phil and his team have done various installations for us over the last few years at our own house and a rental property we owned, including new gas central heating boilers in both. The work has always been absolutely excellent. Faultless. So when we wanted wet underfloor heating installed in our new extension we obviously contacted Heat Company. And an excellent job was done. Phil is very customer focused, has great expertise and is both hardworking and efficient. He agrees a date for any work and sticks to it. All very professional.

Detailed reviews
Heat Co did an absolute superb job fitting a new Worcester Bosch oil fired boiler to our swimming pool, all aspects of the work were carried out in a very professional manor.
Contacted Phil when I had been told that my current boiler couldn't be repaired (by a nationally recognised company). Phil arrived the same day and identified a potential fault. He went home to collect a part he had in stock and fitted it half an hour later. The boiler is now fault free. I couldn't ask for a better outcome or better service - thank you Phil - you'll be getting my regular servicing work from now on :).

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 14 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

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.
