Highlights
“Ricky firstly installed a Tado smart heating system for us, and then we asked him to quote to service our boiler, fit a whole house pump and some other bits, which have all been completed. All the work carried out is of very high standard and Ricky is a very courteous, professional engineer. Very much recommend the The Plumbing & Heating Engineer Ltd”
“Ricky recently installed a brand new heating system in our home. He arrived exactly when he said he would, and all his work was neat and tidy. He left everything spotless at the end of each day — it was like no one had even been in our home! The place is lovely and warm now, and the system is running perfectly. I’d happily recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced, professional and reliable heating engineer.”

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 RegisterBy 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.
