Great job carried out by John who fitted a new boiler for us today. Turned up when they said and completed when they said. Very tidy job and left the house how they found it. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again.

Combo Boiler & thermostat

Neil gave me a quote a week ago for a combi boiler and a google nest. John the engineer fitted the boiler today and set up google nest which I’m absolutely delighted with! Would highly recommend CB plumbing & heating services!

Professional and Great value for money

I was enquiring for a new boiler to be installed, had 3 different companies out and they seemed the most professional and were the first ones to respond.
They weren’t necessarily the cheapest but honestly felt they offered the most value for money overall.

Unsafe electrical installation, left without boiler for 3 days and out of pocket

The boiler was installed on the Tuesday but there was a mix up which meant that the wrong thermostat was installed. This was no big deal as the boiler was functional and they had arranged to send out someone on Friday to change it over.

We discovered on Friday evening that the heating wasn’t working and spoke to the sales rep on Saturday who said that he could get someone out on Monday to fix it. Since it was going to be a couple of days, I took a look myself and discovered that it was very unsafe:
- One live wire (mains voltage!) was sitting loose in the thermostat
- Second live wire was incorrectly terminated and was loose in the terminal
- Circuit was wired incorrectly – one of relay wires was in the wrong terminal
- Neutral and earth were incorrectly terminated and risked working loose over time
- Fuse was 4x the manufacturer’s rating and the earth had been spliced. Therefore, the fuse would likely operate slowly, if at all!

The installer said that he had never installed a Nest thermostat before so it is somewhat unsurprising that it was a complete mess. More concerningly given the state of the wiring, he said that he installed Hives in the past. I would STRONGLY recommend that anyone who has had one installed to contact CB Plumbing or an independent electrician to get it checked over.

The electrical installation from the first visit was far from perfect but the third visit was spot on. This implies very poor training and supervision practices. Given this, I tried to cancel the service package but I was told that “unfortunately this was not a paid added extra, therefore, there is no option for this to be refunded.” (direct quote) They did waive the cost of the thermostat installation but £320-£150 is still £170! (assuming £80/service which is the number that the sales rep quoted as the value of the service when selling the package to me). This is pretty slimy given that they used the monetary value of the servicing as a selling point when convincing us to go with them over their competitors.

Finally, the sales rep made a really big deal of the quality of the heating system flush that they run versus their competitors and this was a deciding factor in us choosing CB Plumbing. Since they never turned on the radiators, it was clear that this was either not done or done improperly. I queried this 3 times by email and WhatsApp and each time the question was sidestepped or ignored. I looked into paying someone else to do it properly but, according to google, the cost is £300-£500!

Reply from CB Services Group

Dear Jonathan

Firstly I would like to apologise about the experience you have had with my company CB Plumbing And Heating Services. I understand that you had concerns regarding the electrical aspect of your install which I sought to rectify promptly once brought to my attention. As you stated in your review the efforts made to correct this were "spot on" so I hope to take from this statement that you were happy with the final outcome. 

With regards to the flush, we have test results from ADEY stating your system has been flushed, proving it was in fact done and done properly contrary to what you have written in your review. When you queried this via whatsapp, we offered to forward the results to yourself, an offer which you declined at that time. If you have changed your mind and now wish for the results please let me know and I'll be happy to send them over. 

I am disheartened to hear that you consider our company "slimy" for not refunding an item which was free of charge. Our sales rep explained the average cost of servicing to demonstrate how much you would be saving by opting for this incentive, however, as you did not actually pay £320 for the package there is therefore no option for this amount to be refunded. As you have stated in your review, we waived the fee for the thermostat which I feel was a fair deduction to compensate for the inconvenience caused. 

We aim to deliver high quality service with every install to maintain customer satisfaction and once again I apologise that this was not the case with yourself. Please be assured we took your report very seriously, attempted to address each of the concerns raised and rectify them to achieve a positive outcome. 

As you are aware, I have reached out to yourself to arrange a suitable time to discuss things further. It was disappointing that you ignored this as your feedback is important to me and vital in helping us to improve our service going forward. 

I hope to hear from you soon.

Super efficient service

Super efficient service. On the initial visit to quote , Calvin was very knowledgeable about the products I’d researched and provided clear details on benefits of the boiler chosen. The process to arrange was very quick and efficient. Liam and Connor arrived promptly and worked hard all day keeping me updated. They tidied before they left and gave a demonstration of the boiler ensuring I had all of the paperwork I needed. I’d had a bad experience recently so was pretty nervous about the whole process. The team took this into consideration when dealing with me and assured me throughout the process. Highlybrwcommend

Amazing

I recently had a new boiler installed by CB Plumbing and Heating Services. I was absolutely delighted with the service from start to finish. A huge thank you to Calvin who went up and beyond the call of duty to rectify an underlying problem. I would highly recommend this company to anyone.
Thank you!

New boiler

I received a few quotes for a new boiler but after a visit from CB Plumbing and Heating Services and speaking to Martin I decided to go with them instead. For someone who knows nothing about boilers, Martin and his team were able to explain everything I needed to know in a
simple and straightforward way which
made the process so much easier. Liam
carried out the installation in a few hours, was very respectful and tidied up afterwards. I feel so much better knowing I have a reliable boiler going into the winter. Would recommend Martin and his team without hesitation.

Gina…New Boiler

From Martins initial visit to the engineer Callum installing my new boiler I can’t fault them. An efficient friendly & polite group of people I enjoyed meeting.
You wouldn’t have known they had been in as they cleaned the kitchen area & took away my old boiler.
The price of a well known boiler with a 5year warranty & yearly service out quoted every one else. I will be recommending CB to everyone.
Thank you so much CB for a job well done.

Boiler installation

Overall great experience from CB!
Martin visited to provide a quote for a boiler installation. He was polite, friendly and knowledgeable. Didn't come in with a sales pitch, just to inform me of my options which was perfect.

Installation was hassle free. The engineer, Liam, worked quickly and tidily. Even moved my fridge back into place without being asked after I'd moved it when he arrived.

Boilers are pricey things but I felt the price I paid for a well known brand + installation was very good. Plus CB included a 5 year service plan.

I highly recommend them after such a positive experience.
