Have used Gavin at GH Heating for a few years for our boiler. Earlier this week I had a problem with our water supply upstairs and rang GH on the off chance they could help. Gavin arrived first thing next morning and identified the problem, went for a new part and fitted and tested system before lunchtime that day. Excellent service as always and would not hesitate to recommend him and his company.Read full review

Gavin has been absolutely brilliant fixing our nightmare central heating system! We first contacted Gavin for what we originally thought was a simple thermostat replacement, which quickly opened a can of worms when Gavin discovered the heating system was wired completely wrong and likely had been since before we bought our house. Gavin was so thorough and helpful and even found us a local electrician to re-wire our system and attended the appointment with the electrician at the house to make sure everything was in order! Gavin answered our calls and messages every time the boiler and heating system threw up another curveball, and was friendly and polite each time he visited the house. Would 100% recommend GH Heating Services!Read full review
Gavin was really helpful today and I would thoroughly recommend him and his company.Read full review
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
