Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 136 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the professional and exceptionally helpful staff who arrive promptly to resolve complex heating and boiler issues with great skill. Many consumers deeply appreciate the clean and polite approach of technicians, who routinely wear shoe covers, explain the repair process clearly, and tidy up afterward. However, some people mentioned occasional communication difficulties and noticeable scheduling delays when trying to arrange urgent appointments through the office team. A few reviewers experienced frustratingly long phone hold times and felt that service updates regarding technician arrivals could be handled much better.

Irfan did such a good job this evening . We were left without working heaters and he did all he could to sort our problem out. He went out to buy the part that needed to be replaced and changed it making sure that my young children would not sleep in the cold. As a parent , I am extremely grateful. Also he cleaned after himself so I can only leave a 5star feedback. (VHLJOB282845)

Efficient and friendly service

Gas engineer Chris came to fix my leaky hall radiator. He did this job quickly and also bled radiators for me and checked the heating. He also fixed the low pressure for me even though he wasn’t called out for that. He wore shoe coverings which was very considerate of him, and he is the only gas engineer that has come to my house and done this.
A very polite and helpful man.

Repaired boiler

Village heating came on time to repair a boiler they had wrongly fitted and hopefully sorted the issue. The staff in the office were helpful and considerate especially Ronak.

10/10

I am extremely happy with the recent boiler repair service I received. The booking process was very easy, and Luna in the office was incredibly helpful and efficient in scheduling my job.
Shane and Ashton, the engineers who attended to my boiler issue, were truly amazing. They not only fixed the problem effectively but also demonstrated great professionalism by tidying up after themselves. Both engineers were a pleasure to deal with, and I would be more than happy to use your services again in the future.
