Highlights

"Rob did a fantastic job installing a new central heating system (boiler and new radiators in every room, as well as Hive thermostat) for us when we first moved into our older house. He was super professional, knowledgable, and friendly. He really took the time to talk us through everything when he visited initially, and the quality of the work itself is great. Everything looks super modern, and we've not had any issues with it at all. Would highly recommend him to anyone!"

Rob carried out my first annual boiler service in January. 12 months earlier, & days before Christmas, my previous boiler had broken down irreparably. Rob was recommended to me by a tradesman carrying out unrelated work at my property. Rob took the panic out of this situation by responding promptly and professionally, he also ensured he fully discussed & advised all options available to enable me to choose a new boiler. This was installed within the time frame given & before Christmas. Rob takes time to discuss details in an understandable manner. The work completed was of a high standard, completed on time, without disruption to the household. It was also good value for money. I would not hesitate to recommend.

Rob fitted us in at the weekend to remove our old gas fire and rescue a pigeon which had fallen down the chimney and got trapped behind the fire. Very quick and efficient and didn't charge too much either.

Rob was very helpful in sorting out the issue with my boiler. He patiently walked me through his diagnosis of the heating system and provided an honest opinion on how to resolve the issue. He was professional and kept to the arrangement. Thank you Rob.

I had an emergency leak from my hot water tank in the loft. Water had been dripping through electrical fittings on the ceiling to the carpet below. After a non response from another plumbing firm I needed to get this fixed as soon as possible. DLC was contacted and turned up promptly. The fault (a corroded immersion heater) was quickly diagnosed and a replacement was fitted. I was very pleased with the way DLC dealt with my urgent plumbing problem, especially the high level of attention and service given in a friendly professional manner. I would not hesitate to recommend them to future customers. Thanks.

Rob came out to fix my leaky radiator and do a boiler service super quickly. He worked out what the issues were and got them all fixed much faster than I anticipated. Would recommend.

Our boiler broke having just moved into our new house. Rob was so helpful and understanding, he came to help as soon as he could. He arrived, found the issue, rang and collected the parts and fixed the boiler within the hour. Would recommend DLC to anyone!

Before you hire a plumber

Agree the call-out fee, the hourly or fixed rate, and whether parts are charged on top — in writing — before an emergency plumber starts. Out-of-hours overcharging and 'while I'm here' add-ons are common complaints.
Be wary of a plumber who, on a first visit, says your whole system or boiler must be replaced — get a second opinion and an itemised quote (parts and labour separately) before agreeing to major work.
Gas and boiler work is a separate, regulated trade — not general plumbing. Make sure anyone working on a gas appliance is specifically registered to do gas work, and ask to see that registration before they start.
Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
Check any verified credentials, and that the business details independently check out.
