A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO CHRIS who responded brilliantly to my emergency call when I discovered a leak which was spraying water all over the floor of the toilet. He was very polite and efficient and fixed the problem very quickly.

Sink replacement in bathroom.

Have used Bays for several years now in my previous home, and now at my current home which has required some work. I always ask for Chris as his attention to detail, courteous manner and communication skils are fantastic. Chris has done many small jobs for me including new kitchen taps and central heating issues. He has just replaced my bathroom sink, which was not straightforward, and he was neat and tidy at all times. Highly recommended! PP Maggie Sandford-Fawcett

Edward Bays Limited did an excellent job

Edward Bays Limited removed, and made good, an old obsolete Rayburn cooker. They were reliable, punctual and did a very efficient job leaving everything neat and tidy. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Was a long term customer for over 10 yers which included having a new boiler. Initially service was quite good (remember dropping the house key off at the owners own house) but over the years as the business grew service suffered with missed appointments and poorly trained staff. Finally lost patience after a number of issues when an engineer diagnosed a water leak and told me that the fault had existed for several years. Why they missed it for all the years Edward Bays had been servicing my boiler I’ll never know. Switched to a small local unit and now get the service I came to miss.

Thank you for your review, after looking into your account on our system I can see the issue you have mentioned above was from a leak you had in 2017, we were under the impression this had been resolved as we attended right up until 2019. If you feel like this issue was not resolved and you would like to discuss it further please email our office on admin@edwardbaysltd.co.uk.

We look forward to your email.

Kind regards,

Our boiler kept locking out over the new year, a local company came in and we thought the problem had been fixed. However after they had left it happened again. They were reluctant to come back so we contacted Edward Bays, Craig arrived that afternoon it was a Friday and freezing cold. He found the problem within minutes and although he couldn’t get the part for that day he got the boiler going and it stayed on. he then returned first thing Monday morning with the part and it has been fine ever since. When we called the office Starr was so helpful and arranged an immediate visit and Craig certainly knows his stuff. We will be having a new boiler this year and will definitely be going to them.

Our heating system failed on what I suspect was one of the coldest days of the year. An 8.30am phone call to Edward Bay's, who installed and maintained our boiler resulted in a visit from their excellent technician that afternoon restoring our heating by tea time a job well done. I would recommend Bay's they are honest and very competent and always have given us excellent service.

Lifesavers on a Cold Sunday Morning when Boiler Stopped Working!

Woke up Cold Sunday morning to find no heating and no hot water - boiler showing F22 error. Rang Edward Bays (who we have used previously) and within 1 hour had an emergency on call engineer Chris out to the house. Required a new pump - all fixed by midday as had a pump in the van. Amazing friendly reliable quick service - would not hesitate to recommend. Five Stars! Thank you.

To all at Edward Bays:

As a first time customer,I would like to express my admiration for my first experience of your company.
From the important first contact with Starr Owers, I was made to feel that you are there to help me.
The attention to small details has been exemplary - A call to confirm that you had received my emailed acceptance of your terms and conditions; A speedy appointment with an anticipated arrival time window; A call when your technician was on his way; A swift resolution to the problem by Chris.
A Huge Thank you and congratulations to you all.
