5 Star Company

5 star company.
The engineer (Phil) turned up on time, did the service in just over an hour or so and was pleasant and helpful throughout, really nice lad.
Would recommend to friends and family alike for anything plumbing or heated related.

Shower and sink tap.

Responded to my request quickly and kept me informed throughout. Polite and curtious. Would use again without hesitation. Not big jobs but still needed doing and reasonable cost.

One hell of a service

First time I used this company for a boiler service, the engineer was very good and thorough throughout the service and gave me some good future tips and advice on maintaining my boiler moving forward, very happy with the service and will be using again.

Very proficient and friendly service

Very proficient and friendly service. The original plumbing in kitchen needed a lot of adjustment which the engineer carried out. One small problem with waste from condensing boiler due to a faulty part which was swiftly dealt with into main waste water hose.

Good equipment but expensive fitting charge

Good equipment well fitted.
So why the missing star?
In the job description it said 'our qualified engineers will carry out the installation ...' In the event one young man did the job (well) and he seemed to be from a sub contractor. He was surprised that the unit was on site. He collected it , then I described the agreed layout to him, he showed me that it would be difficult to do a neat job as there were pipes in the way. he suggested putting the outside unit around the corner, but that would have obstructed a narrow sideway, so we settled on him putting it on the wall of the house. In all the job took seven hours, he did not take a break. When I thought about it afterwards I realised that we had paid upwards of £150 an hour.

Hi Roy
I'm sorry that you feel this way.
I believe that you chose us above alternative companies as we were the cheapest. The expert that we used works for us on many projects and their costs and the cost of the equipment were reflected in our quotation.
Hope you enjoy your air conditioning unit.
Thanks Anja

Alford - Brilliant!

Alford came to solve a difficult heating issue in our public building, they were super professional, approachable and explained what they were doing in great layman's terms, they quickly bought in specialists for the difficult parts of the job who were equally as brilliant and the job was resolved quickly. Would definitely recommend. Thanks. Derren Storey, Manager - YMCA Eastleigh

We will never use any of their services again.
Upon we requested non emergency repair, engineering visit was scheduled few days after. The visit took only 10minutes as the issue with out toilet stopped the night before so repair wasn’t really needed, but we were still charged for half an hour service at call out rate.

I'm very sorry to hear that you're disappointed in our service. Should you have cancelled the 8am appointment, there would have been no charge. Sadly my engineer obtained materials for your toilet, in case needed, drove to your home and unpacked his tools. You then agreed that he check your toilet, which he did. In our terms and conditions we could claim the full amount, however on this occasion we decided that 1/2 the amount was fair for his 1/2 hour.
All the best
