We were recommended to GH Heating and Gavin in particular by our neighbours who were impressed by him. Gavin arrived at the designated time and asked me to describe the problem. I told him we had only lukewarm water for washing etc. After examining the system he told me that the cool water was due to a faulty valve and showed me the area that had caused the problem and what to look for if the water cooled again. Gavin took particular care to explain things to me. I felt confident that I could phone him if I was at all concerned.Read full review

Don’t bother looking any further -Gavin is the best. I consider myself lucky in having ‘found’ him years ago and continue to use on an annual basis. Always so professional and efficient and willing to go the extra mile whenever it’s been necessary. I can’t recommend him more.Read full review
Gary arrived at the stated time, having emailed in advance, and carried out our boiler service as usual, which we are very satisfied with.Read full review
Easy to use on-line booking system, useful text messages to advise arrival time and real-time tracking of the engineers van. Arrived on time (in fact early) and was polite and efficient. Boiler service done in just over an 1.5 hours with some advice on future areas for attention – without any pressure to commit. Would definitely recommend based on my experiance.Read full review

Great service, well priced and professional service from Gavin, thanksRead full review
Very happy with the sevice provided by Gavin, would highly recommend.Read full review
It’s been a while since I’ve experienced a service as good as GH Services. I rarely write reviews but Gavin absolutely deserves the best recommendation there is. When I called about a faulty boiler, Gavin offered to come round the same evening to have a look. Unfortunately I had plans, so we arranged it for the next day. Gavin gave me an hour time window and called to let me know when he was on his way, so I knew exactly what was happening. Gavin solved my issue using his vast expertise and completed the job in an hour. His advice, knowledge and aftercare are of the highest calibre, as well as his professionalism. Another important point to note is their IT system. From the moment you call, you are sent links to their extremely efficient and user friendly internal system, which sets up an account and takes all of your details. It guides you through process and at the end of the job allows you to pay through it and gives you a job report as well as the invoice. It made the whole process smooth and incredibly easy. It’s mobile friendly too. I really can’t recommend enough. Thank you Gavin.Read full review

Very pleased with Gavin's work, as always. He arrived on time, serviced the boiler thoroughly, replaced a ball valve in the loft and left everything clean and tidy. I can highly recommend him.Read full review
I have been using G H Heating for many years now, for the annual service on my central heating system and for any emergencies. It’s always easy to book and I get useful reminders when the appointments are due. I’ve had lots of different things that needed doing and a lot of remedial work on pipe work and radiators last year. After Gavins recommendation, I put the heating on for 20 minutes, each Sunday all through the summer months. It doesn’t heat up the house enough to be a nuisance but it keeps the old system ticking over and flushed through, so it’s not a shock to the system every October when I put it on for the first time, and it’s all seized up! Very successful and no problems with clogged pipe work this year. Gavin is very professional and courteous, and gets on with the job efficiently and thoroughly. He always wears shoe protectors to keep carpets clean and a mask to protect me from viruses as I requested. I am more than happy to recommend this company and pleased to have someone local as well. I’ve recommended him to friends as well.Read full review
Reliable, professional and friendly serviceRead full review
A company that always keep you updated with upcoming appointments and even contact you on the same day. Gavin did turn up later than was arranged, however he let me know in advance and even offered to re-arrange if it was going to be inconvenient for me. Once he turned up, shoe protectors came out, and he got to work in servicing the.boiler. Efficient, respectful, reliable and a friendly guy. Keep up the good work 😊Read full review
Gavin serviced my boiler for the 3rd year. Lovely guy, very friendly and efficient would definitely recommend him and have.Read full review
All round excellent service! Gavin was straightforward, knowledgeable and communicative throughout. The issue: boiler was working intermittently every few days. Gavin was our second opinion after a large and local boiler company did a crap service/check and only gave us the option of a new boiler or a £600 replacement part to fix it. Gavin did the service/clean, and all the checks and gave us solid advice. Our boiler now works perfectly fine I would use GH Heating services again.Read full review

If you’ve ever tried to get a school boiler replaced, you’ll know the hard part isn’t the engineering.
