Turned out it was a much bigger job than expected, but Will persevered all the way through and did an excellent job I'm absolutely delighted with. Good price too & Will went out of his way to come out at weekends to make sure I had heating for Christmas. Very fair price, excellent service 100% recommend." > Source: Customer in East Sussex (5.0, via Which? Trusted Traders) > "We used Will to install two new hot water tanks, but while awaiting the appointment our boiler heat exchanger cracked, so Will came and install a new boiler and two large new hot water tanks. No mess, no fuss, and even had to climb on the roof to fit a new vent pipe for it. Job completed on-time, which matters to our small B&B!" > Source: Customer in East Sussex (5.0, via Which? Trusted Traders) > "For the last 8/9 years Will has serviced our old (pre 2003) boiler annually, understanding our reluctance to replace it unless necessary. In addition he attended to repair various valves, pumps, thermostats and taps at short notice to keep the property warm and running. He was always contactable, responsive and provided his expertise at a very reasonable rate. In short every box can be ticked but I particularly want to praise his communication skills. Will's ability to explain his work to the non-technically minded with patience is outstanding. Not just to me and family members but a long line of carers as well. We are moving out of the area but warmly recommend Will Cresswell." > Source: Veronica in Greater London (5.0, via Which?

Trusted Traders - Public evidence last checked June 2026 ## Before you hire a builder _What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_ - Never pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done. - Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced. - Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job. - Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact. - Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current. ## Contact - Phone: 07989 985949 --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/will-cresswell-building-and-maintenance Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source and is cross-checked.
