I used A & D a year ago to replace our antiquated and quite complicated heating system. They were professional, tidy and did a great job. Last night I contacted them as the (very old) programmer on the system had developed a fault, they contacted their electrician straight away and helped me to sort it out. Very impressive service, thank you! I would highly recommend them.

We used A&D Plumbing Services this week to install a new Baxi boiler, to replace our old, 19-year old Baxi, after too many call outs for an aging system. We worked with Baxi who recommended A&D, as they were Baxi trained. Great service, from start to finish. The initial visit to review and quote was done by Kevin and he was open and honest about the job and the work required. The quote was very comparable with others and we decided to go with these guys. And we were not disappointed. Kevin was assigned the job, with Alan and they worked really well. They found a minor gas leak on our meter and

I recently had a new boiler re-positioned and commissioned by A&D plumbing. I chose this company through recommended plumbers by Worcester Bosch. Out of the 3 home surveys/quotes I received it was out of two that I felt confident with. Both showed professionalism and were very informative. I decided to select A&D Plumbing and am so pleased with my choice. The team doubled up to carry out the works in one day as opposed to two to accommodate my working days. I cannot praise the work and professionalism enough. Nothing was too much trouble for the engineers. I was informed all along the way and

Being a technical manager in the water industry I know a thing or two about plumbing systems. These chaps quoted for what was needed and not what they wanted to change. Being without hot water we appreciated their prompt availability and the work was spot on, they even hoovered up. A big thank you to Kevin and team for your hard work. We had a new boiler and an unvented cylinder fitted. Looking forward to seeing you next year for the boiler service. Highly recommended, cheers chaps.

The work involved removing two boilers, consolidating the system to run off one new boiler, moving the location of the boiler and water cylinder and transferring from gravity fed to direct mains system. All new pipe work was introduced with a minimum of disruption to walls and floors. The work took just over a week and was carried out efficiently, quietly and with a minimum of mess. The job took just over a week and and the result is absolutely first class.

We recently bought an LPG cooker from Curries/PC world who totally failed to install it and left us with no cooking facilities for 5 days. I contacted A&D Plumbing and explained our plight. They had an engineer round within in 24 hours and fully installed the appliance without any fuss. The job itself tuned out to be bigger than expected but this was no issue for the engineer who was excellent throughout. Whilst on our property, the engineer also serviced our boiler for us again without fuss or drama, unlike Curries/PCWorld which for them everything was a drama! My faith in the trading sector has
