Good work, unclear value for money

Have had boiler serviced with them for several years. They attended to fix a part on the boiler this week, quoted a price and fixed it the same day. Good service. However, when asked for an invoice detailing parts and labour cost, which we need for any potential insurance claim, they refused. Apparently, company policy just to put 'repair boiler and replace fan' and a grand total. Nothing else. As a result, it's not clear to us whether the 10% discount for being a "Heatshield" member has been included. Nor whether the free call out we should have been entitled to has been taken off the total either. First time I've ever come across a refusal to detail an invoice for parts and labour. Despite several emails politely requesting the above, still no joy. Shame as the company has always been very good. Strange not to show full transparency on costs, especially when they're plumbing work has been so good. We didn't dispute the bill, we just wanted a simple two item breakdown on an invoice. We are now unable to judge whether the service good value or not. Really disappointed. To be clear, I would recommend their work, but would strongly suggest others ask for a quote with a breakdown of costs in writing ahead of agreeing to any work, in order to judge if it is good value for money.

Professional & Polite

Our heating system (installed 37 years ago) had died. We looked on Which Trusted Traders website for a local company and HeatGlow were exemplary. The initial survey by Gareth showed what needed to be replaced (i.e. everything apart from the radiators and pipework which they were able to save with some TLC and a flush through). They turned up as promised and installed a new Worcester Bosch boiler, replaced the hot-water cylinder and installed a header tank plus the flush through in 4 days and charged exactly as per their quotation. All of their people were very polite, considerate and tidied up afterwards. Strongly recommended.

Hot water returns!

Returned from holiday on a Friday to find our 14-year-old gas boiler in its death throes. By Sunday it was no more! Contact via email that night and they managed to fit us in due to a cancelled appointment the next day. Very thorough in the diagnosis of the problem (broken valve). Part ordered and fitted 48 hours later. The boiler is back to full function and with a new PCB board and electrodes 2 years ago should run for a while yet. Hopefully! Very happy with the service and professionalism. No mess or damage to the surrounding kitchen, unlike the previous gas-fitter. I will be returning to them for my gas and plumbing needs.

Fast and competent

Contacted the firm Monday afternoon. Jack arrived the following morning at agreed time. The issue was the pressure in the boiler which was erratic and various issues had to be ruled out. Also it’d been leaking water which Welsh Water weren’t too happy about. Jack was helpful in that score as well checking throughout the house for leaks and stabilising the boiler. This is a small but customer focussed company with a great ethos. Thank you folks.

Definitely to be ‘Trusted’

I usually have my boiler serviced by the company who installed it (back in 2007). However, due to Covid, they were unavailable and so, I looked up Trusted Traders reviews. It was so easy to book an appointment online (which was within a few days) and received several communications with confirmation and updates as to the appointment. They arrived on time, were polite, took off their shoes ( wasn’t necessary, but noted and appreciated). I informed them of ongoing issues (losing pressure frequently and a little leak from bathroom towel radiator). No leak since and pressure issue is looking good. Thank you Heatglow - you’ve got it nailed in my view!!! It’s left me with conflicting feelings. I still trust the original company, but I am impressed and very happy with Heatglow’s service from beginning to end..... whilst I don’t have a ‘relationship’ with them (I know them/they know me type of thing), I am converted!!

Excellent company

I found HeatGlow on the Which trusted traders site. Booked a boiler service via their web site - it was very straightforward and I was able to book a time and date for the visit. The price was even less than what I had paid 3 years previously with another firm. From then on I received both emails and messages with my invoice and confirmation of date/time including the name of 5he engineer carrying out the work. Everything completed on time and certificate issued electronically. Every aspect of dealing with HeatGlow was excellent and I would certainly use and recommend to everyone.

Good job

Heatglow installed a new Worcester Bosch boiler, replaced two radiators and fitted a new electric shower in one day as promised. They gave me good advice when then visited to quote for the work and provided a competitive price. They were helpful, friendly and easy to deal with. I will definitely use them again.

Excellent work

Excellent service. I had 2 radiators changed. I bought my own radiators and valves and Heatglow had them changed. Very efficient, quick, left all clean and did a very good job. Really well done. Booking was easy via email and price competitive.

Emergency Boiler Installation

The guys responded to an urgent request promptly and scheduled in the work whilst agreeing to honour a much earlier quote. On the day, they worked professionally, demonstrating excellent social distancing disciplines. They communicated well throughout. Given that carpets and floorboards were lifted you would not have noticed if you hadn't seen it due to their commitment to putting everything back in its place and cleaning up after themselves. The new boiler was fitted with the minimum of fuss despite having to work around the challenges of an old house. We will certainly use their services again and have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

Regular service plus other plumping work including changing radiators and tap repairs

I have used Gareth and Tom for a number of years and have recommended them to numerous friends and Neighbours. They are very responsive, punctual and extremely polite. Their annual service is very thorough and much better than the very large national company we used to use. All work is explained and carried out as per explanation. They are very clean and tidy and one they leave the property you do not know they have been there. Am excellent example of a Local business serving the local community and with the added benefit of being Welsh speaking.

Excellent service and quality of work

Over the last 3 years Gareth and Tom at Heatglow have installed my home combi boilers, underfloor heating and new radiators. On top of this scheduled work they have responded to call outs for frozen pipes etc. Not only is there service excellent, the quality of work has been outstanding. Additionally, they are very careful and respectful. It is not often that rooms are left tidier after a callout than they were before.

Follow up service

We have used HeatGlow for several years. Initially they provided an excellent repair service for our existing boiler, and have since recommended and installed a new one for which they provide an annual service. A very reliable company who respond promptly to calls, and are prepared to work on the weekend.

New boiler and thermostat

Tenants at a rented property were left without hot water when an old boiler broke down. Heatglow replaced the boiler within days. They were professional, communicated the options well and once I decided on the best option got to work straight away. This was 18 months ago and we haven't had any issues with the new boiler.

Totally reliable & professional

We have been using Gareth & Tom for over 5 yrs since Gareth did all the plumbing work for our bathroom. He did an excellent job and since then, he or Tom, comes to service our gas fire and boiler annually. HeatGlow are our go-to guys and I have recommended them to friends who are also delighted, especially our Welsh speaking friends.

Rapid same day response, went the extra mile as usual without complaint

Gareth and Tom have serviced our boiler regularly since 2015. Always with efficient and friendly service with a smile. A call out on December 5 for heating failure needed a valve replacement in the boiler. Tom came at the end of a long working day. He had to drive miles across Cardiff during rush hour traffic for the part. Then all the way back , still during rush hour, to do the job, which was a long one, without complaint about either the distance, heavy traffic both ways or his late finish after completing the job. Highly, highly recommended and have recommended to friends who have used them for boilers and bathroom replacement and were equally delighted. So glad a friend recommended them to us. An added bonus that they are Welsh speakers!

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.
