Excellent Work, after a Shaky Start !

The job didn't start too well after Ashton was issued with the wrong specialist OEM kit to service our cistern.
But the most important thing was, that instead of getting back in his van, he then went about devising a work around. After speaking to the manufacturer's technical helpline he managed to turn things around and successfully finish the job without out any drama.
A credit to his company

I contacted Alfords on a Friday at 11.30am.
At 3.30, Tyler the fitter turned up and diagnosed the problem for me.
He managed to get the pump going, but waited for 15 minutes to check.
When the pump stopped again he rushed out to get a new pump before 5pm.
He then came back and fitted the pump so we had hot water.
Best plumbing service I have used and would fully recommend them for customer service and price
Thanks Tyler and Alford Plumbing and Heating

Boiler Repair

This was the first time I had used Alford Plumbing and Heating and was extremely pleased with the choice. Having had a boiler issue, they were able to attend promptly and resolve the fault quickly and without any fuss. The engineer was polite, punctual and extremely tidy while fixing the problem. I can happily recommend their service and will be using them again should the need arise.

New boiler installation

I was really pleased with the new boiler that Alford Plumbing and Heating fitted for me. The fitters were polite, friendly and professional and the work was carried out to a high standard and they took the time to explain all the new buttons and functions. I also thought they were good on price. I would highly recommend and will use them again in the future.
