Replacement boiler install, removal of old boiler.
Friendly, efficient and hard working, with their emphasis on getting hot water restored by end of the first day - achieved to our great relief !
Neat install, with directions given on how to use boiler and control from app on my phone.
Very happy with the results.
I have used Contract Heating for some years for boiler maintenance and have always found them to be quick, friendly and efficient.
They may not be the cheapest around but "you gets what you pays for" – and they are worth it !

Brian attended my flat today and carried out a service of my gas boiler. He arrived on time and was very efficient, checking the gas main and testing all the radiators after the boiler had been serviced. I would thoroughly recommend Contract Heating.

I have been using Contract Heating for many years for the provision and servicing of my gas boilers. They have always been highly efficient, extremely helpful and very friendly when dealing with my requirements. Recently, I had a new Ariston boiler installed. It was done in a day by Rob and Mark and was followed up, at my request, by two visits from Craig who adjusted and explained its settings and operation to its somewhat confused new owner!! The ladies in the office have also been extremely pleasant and helpful when I have called. Thank you very much.

We have used Contract Heating Ltd to service our boiler in our house for the last 3-4 years. We are now remodelling our kitchen and we employed Contract Heating to renew our boiler and adjust the pipework to relocate the new boiler in a new position in the kitchen along with a new radiator . They undertook all the works in a very professional manner. The installation team for our new boiler was led by Rob Hamilton, and he had Mark and Austin working with him. They were all polite, Covid respectful and their standard of work was excellent. They were in our house for 3 days and always kept their work area clean and tidy. Every day they cleaned up after them and turned up every day at the time they said they would. I have had a similar positive experience during the three years of servicing our old boiler. I have got to know a few of the Contract Heating engineers over the last few years and it is always to good to hear reports from them about the high regard they have for Contract Heating as a company. I would recommend Contract Heating unreservedly.

Short version - If you are a small scale private landlord (I have <10 flats) you are not the kind of customer ContractHeating want or will look after these days.
Longer version - I used their landlord services for about 10 years and they used to be fine but I have got more and more unhappy with their service as they have grown. Boiler service contracts - as soon as you have one year where it costs them more than your annual premium they do not renew. DD debits continued to be taken even when service contract cancelled BY THEM. Their quotes for new boilers are not competitive in my experience. I did have them replace one and it was a nightmare with them having to come back several times because of issues with the flue siting, eventually resulting in me having to have the boiler relocated. Recent electrical fault is final straw, fault not even identified and unnecessary, unrelated work was done and then quoted another day's investigative work being required which could not be scheduled by them for approx 2 weeks, meantime tenants with no power. Another electrical firm identified the problem in 5 minutes and fixed it in about 30 mins on a same day call out. ContractHeating also wanted to charge me for an EICR which reported a fail due to the fault I called them out for and they did not fix! When I complained ContractHeating boss Pat said he was happy with his guy's work, but they would not charge me for that visit. Then when the next routine safety check came up on another flat a few weeks later he asked did I still want to work with them. I said OK, because I had not looked at alternatives - this stuff is just a chore. Then he came back and said well they would rather not continue our relationship. Why didn't he just say that in the first place? So agreed that will I take my business elsewhere, and having looked at alternatives there are certainly several that offer better value for money on the face of it, and the recent service standards from ContractHeating can't be hard to beat.

Removal of old gas central heating boiler and installation of a new one. The people working with this company were all very professional, communicative and helpful. This includes the staff answering the telephone, the engineers and the joiner. They turned-up when they said they would, kept me informed about progress and next steps, and they were careful about tidiness. The initial cost estimate provided was based on a thorough on-site survey and conversation. The final cost was just below the estimate. In summary, very professional and very reliable.

Boiler replacement went really well, with minimum disruption, guys onsite Rob and Mark were fantastic, were really good with my dog, all steps were explained before, during and after, clear instructions received on how to operate the new boiler/cube/app. Communication from back office/customer service was prompt, super helpful and friendly, I am really glad to be their customer. Many thanks to you all.

I have been using Contract Heating for years for a number of repairs, and for a very good reason – trust. They are really helpful, turn up when then say they will and pretty decent on cost too, plus all the staff are really nice folk. Really slick operation, good work!

I have used Contract Heating in my own home and in a church manse for several years and have always had excellent service. At Christmas 2020 the manse heating boiler came to the end of its life. Despite the obvious difficulties of timing and weather (external boiler room) a new boiler was fitted within a day and heating to the manse restored. A further visit was scheduled to install new controls and flush the system which also went well. I was completely satisfied with the care and attention given by the Design Engineer Craig Hunter and the two Installation Engineers, Alan and Dean. Covid procedures were properly applied and the manse family have expressed their appreciation of the respectful way in which work within every room of the manse was carried out. I can recommend Contract Heating without hesitation.

Alan Reid and Dean were brilliant and very professional at all times. The new boiler was up and running in no time and Alan and Dean even cleaned up, moved all of our furniture back for us and even set our timers back on the new boiler. Great job- thanks!

Rob Hamilton and Austen from Contract Heating completed a Combi Boiler installation and conversion. From start to finish the work and the results were professional, prompt, and above best expectations. They even left us with heating and hot water after Day-1 before continuing the next day. They arrived on time, left everywhere clean and tidy, and removed all surplus packing and materials. They're good guys too. The new boiler and piping work looks great. Not a single gripe, hence a score of 5. Thanks guys!

I provided evidence from an external source to support the classification that we had used but the other contractor’s opinion (“since nothing is exposed and the crack is not such that the cover is likely to fall off/fall apart, he doesn't see it as a significant risk, especially if a bit of glue or tape was applied.”) was considered to be more relevant than ours, and therefore we were not to be paid for the EICR we had carried out. I felt the criticism we received relating to this work had been unjustified and that our advice had been unfairly ignored in preference of that given by another contractor. Unable to reach agreement on this I made no charge for the work we had carried out.
The customer did want us to proceed with other work but not EICRs and indicated this was because we had not done a good job. There are jobs that do go wrong and there are times when we make refunds and rectify mistakes, but it is difficult to move forward with a working relationship when you are receiving criticism and cannot agree that what you have done was incorrect. I explained this to the customer and he asked us to close his existing service contracts and refund in full unless works had been carried out. Although this would not be the usual terms for cancellation we did this in order to bring things to a close as amicably as possible.
In summary, this customer has been a customer of ours for 10 years and it is not a good outcome for us that the relationship has come to an end in this way. We have tried to do this as amicably as possible all in the hope that we could move on without any further ill feeling. Unfortunately this review would suggest that we were unable to achieve that and I can now only hope that on reading this response the customer will consider this from our perspective, and at some point accept that as a contractor the position we were placed in was not conducive to a good working relationship moving forward.
