PHP first installed a valliant boiler and radiators to upstairs bedrooms in my brother's home. The job was done to a high standard. We have now had Matt come and service my Mum's back boiler and gas fire. Matt was very professional, very pleasant friendly guy who took his time and did a thorough job.

Very pleased with the service that PHP provided. I thought my electric boiler may need replacing but PHP suggested a change of parts and descaling the plates as a less costly alterative - the work (carried out by Matt) was professional and thorough. The office staff also deserves a mention for being very helpful and responsive to queries. Overall, I would definitely use their services again.

Report
We had a pipe leaking under the floor and had used a specialist leak detection service to identify where the leak were, and called PHP in to quote for finding and repairing the leak. The PHP engineer who came out to quote cut the leaking part of the system out enabling us to use our boiler again at no charge which was amazing - and more than any other plumber had done. We then engaged them for the rest of the work, as well as making good, which they did efficiently, quickly and to a high quality. Would use again, no question.

I contacted PHP on the recommendation of some neighbours as I had no heating or hot water on probably the coldest day of the year so far. The appointment was dealt with efficiently, and the job was booked in for the same day which was much appreciated. Jared arrived at the agreed time, and sorted out the problem after going through a checklist of possible causes. I did however still have no heating or hot water for the rest of the day. I reset the boiler myself the following morning, and as I write this review some five days later, all is thankfully working ok. The other matter I wish to mention

PHP supply experienced, competent tradesmen - plumbing, building, electrical work - at a fair price. The outside loo project took a long time, though, partly due to concrete drying times and partly due to poor inter-office communication at PHP. If they had been more proactive, I would have had my work completed sooner. Very happy with the work done, though.
