Highlights
“Great contact and communication with Angelo throughout. Chris arrived exactly when he said he would, was extremely courteous, solved the leak quickly at my Mothers house on the Friday evening before Christmas. An out of hours call out so it was slightly expensive however I was made aware of the cost upfront and was offered a core day alternative however we needed the leak sorted asap. I can’t speak highly enough about both the work and service and would highly recommend. Shaws will now be my “go to” plumbers for any future work. Thank you Chris and Angelo.”
“Excellent communication, very helpful people, engineer was excellent, polite and helpful, found the problem and fixed it quickly”
“Shawn’s responded promptly to enquiries and provided a competitive quote. The booking process was straightforward and negotiating date/time etc was easy. Once booked kept us informed about the process and arrived on time. Engineer was polite and considerate and the work was carried out efficiently and left no mess. Was given sufficient, appropriate information throughout.”

Verified by CheckatradeHeating repair and boiler service
We were booked a same day appointment when we first contacted the company and Chris was able to quickly identify the issue and put a temporary fix in place u til he could get the parts - which was great as we had been without heating for a while. Angelo was incredibly quick at responding to any emails we had and quickly got Chris booked back in to complete the repair when the parts came in. We also booked a boiler service. Very happy with the services provided and reasonable pricing for the quality of work delivered. Would use them again and recommend to others.

Chris provided professional installation and arrived on time. He provided advice on maintenance and future works. Angelo and Chris also provided great support on email to make sure we were getting exactly what we wanted. Both very friendly and would recommend!
Verified by CheckatradeAnnual boiler and water tank service
Chris always does an excellent job and is friendly and knowledgeable. Booking is a breeze as Angelo provides a prompt response. Really good value for money and we feel confident that the work is done to the best standard.
Verified by Checkatrade
I received an email almost immediately following my request for a call out, and an appointment booked for the next day. Chris was very punctual in fact a bit early. The problem with a dripping valve on the water tank was identified and replacement safety valves required. The parts were ordered and replaced within 2 days. Chris is professional, friendly and knowledgeable and we will definitely use Shaws again if we have any problems.
Had a problem with the shower controller coming away from the wall. Chris came out very quickly and put it back properly straight away. So pleased and relieved.
As always, excellent communications and job scheduling/organisation by Angelo, and 1st class professional servicing/maintenance work undertaken by Chris as usual. An extremely efficient, courteous, knowledeable and helpful service from Shaws Plumbing and Heating as always. Highly recommended.
Verified by CheckatradeBoiler service
Disappointed, I booked a service for 4pm. This was changed to 2.30, then 12pm which was not good to me. After a few calls, it was back to 2.30. The engineer came to the door without any equipment. I got the impression he was in a rush. And didn't really have time for me. He said he might have to remove the top of the boiler & as there was a wooden cover I needed to book another appointment. I said I could remove it in a couple of minutes but he wasn't interested. After more discussion, it was obvious the service wasn't going to happen. I asked him directly & he said no. So I told him to leave.

Fast, efficient and communicative about what was being done throughout. Highly recommended.

Verified by CheckatradeRemoving and replacing radiators
Chris and Angelo came to remove and replace some old radiators. The work required some additional pipe work and they did a great job! Would definitely recommend to others as they were reliable, kept us in the loop, and were really efficient. They also kept the place tidy which was superb.

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.
