  • Clive Allen gave us a 1st-class 5-star service from start to finish. His visit to assess our requirements and discuss options was useful and clear, the quote arrived promptly and covered everything we had agreed. Amy in the office was happy to answer all our questions and adjust the order to our amendments.
    The installation of our new boiler and associated parts was carried out in a fully professional manner, with carpet protectors and dustsheets laid before any work began and all areas kept clean and tidy during and after the work. The fitters told us what was happening at each stage, checking we understood and were happy with progress.

    After completion on day 2, Clive took the time to demonstrate and explain the features of the boiler and controls, and his manner has been friendly, cheerful and helpful throughout.

  • We’ve been using Clive for over 7 years and he’s always been reliable, professional, and reasonably priced. Most recently, he came out to replace our shower – turned up exactly when he said he would, got the job done quickly and to a great standard, and left everything tidy. Clive’s one of those rare tradespeople who genuinely goes the extra mile. His wife Amy, who handles the bookings, is always pleasant and efficient, making the whole experience smooth from start to finish. Can’t recommend them highly enough.

  • I recieved a great service, from making the appointment with Amy, to Clive completing the work at my house.

    Clive completed the work in a very professional manner, was on time and left my house spotless. It was also done at a fair and reasonable price.

    I highly recommend Allens for all your plumbing and heating needs and will certainly be using them again myself, thank you.

  • I just wanted to shout out @allens_plumbing_heating for a great installation of a fantastic product! I had actually been looking for a cost effective heating system for years and have finally found one. My heating bills are now 1/3 of what they used to be!! So pleased. And it’s also an Aircon unit so these hot days are no issue at my workshop 😎
