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
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

5 star service. Very helpful and explained everything in detail.Will only be using G H Heating Services now. Thank you so much.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
