We were very happy with the work and particularly that they gave us a start date and had all the materials and fittings they needed already with them. this meant the work was completed faster that expected on site. There was an issue with the flush at first, but when reported, the plumber attended very quickly and resolved the problem. They were very neat and tidy.

Our 14 year old gas central heating boiler stopped working, and we asked Harbour Multi-Trades to see if its useful life could be extended. In spite of heroic efforts, this proved not to be possible, and we opted for a new boiler, a decision that could have been made sooner. The installation of the new boiler was carried out smoothly and efficiently, and we are very impressed with the quality of the work and the skill and commitment of the engineers.

Got them to change a gas boiler for an electric one for underfloor heating. Although it had a couple of problems, I would give them 5 stars because they made every effort to sort it out, and that is the best judge of a company. If you need plumbing, heating or electrical work done, I would definitely recommend them.

Replacing broken fan downheater in the bathroom and the installation of an isolator . The job took two visits, one to establish what work was required, and the second to fit the isolator switch, and the heater once it had been ordered.
Greg was excellent, and the work was done fairly promptly. If I had my time again, I'd have asked him to fit the isolator switch during the FIRST visit. That would have allowed me to get the plastering repair work done while the fan heater was being ordered.
Most importantly, though, Harbour Multi-Trades at least did the work.

Harbour replaced a gas boiler in our flat. They sent out both a gas technician and an electric boiler specialist to help us make an informed choice. The work was carried out neatly and efficiently and all is now working well. What I particularly like about Harbour is that they are very easy to deal with, respond quickly to enquiries and send round a knowledgable person who turns up when they say they are going to.

We had a gas leak in our home and were supported by Harbour Homes. Ross originally noticed the leak and came back with Lewis, and his superior, Neil - John arrived a little later and was amazing. We live in a old building with awful pipe work, they found the gas leak and fixed it within the day!! Both Lewis and Ross worked through their lunch and stayed late on a Friday - and couldn't be more polite.
Due to bad pipework, there was a leak which was fixed asap. Lewis informed our downstairs neighbour and Ross managed to turn off the mains. Due to this, we left the carpets up and Lewis provided a dehumidifier and will lay the carpets once the flooring has dried - he moved my wardrobe/ plants etc so i was more comfortable. This extra touch really meant a lot.
We were disappointed with Neil's attitude. He came across as quite defensive, didn't inform us of what was happening, then left early leaving the others to deal with the water and gas leak.
Despite this, Lewis, Ross and John provided an excellent service, updating us constantly and they went the extra mile. We can't thank them enough for their service and they represent the best of Harbor homes!

In 2023 Harbour replaced our combination boiler and undertook some ancillary tasks to ensure that it would function with maximum efficiency. Harbour's Project Manager, Mark, supervised the work and we were most impressed with their service. Harbour has replaced T B Mackay, who had served us very well with our previous boiler over a period of nearly 20 years, and we now have a service contract with Harbour for our new boiler. Most of the technicians we got to know with T B Mackay are attached to Harbour. It's a multi-trades company so you don't have to ask around for recommendations for electricians or other trades, and they are very accessible and helpful when you have a problem, even if it's a relatively small one! Heartily recommend them!

We've had two visits from Harbour's electrician, Greig, in connection with a faulty heat alarm. The first visit was to diagnose the problem and to source a replacement that would work with the interconnected smoke alarms, and the second was to fit a replacement alarm. We were impressed by his thorough approach, positive attitude to the job, his analytical and technical skills, which inspired our complete confidence.

As usual for this firm, the problem I described was considered carefully, and the faulty part was identified (the heating element of an immersion heater) and then replaced in a quickly arranged follow-up visit. The end result is not just restored functionality but clear improvement.

I live in a managed Shared Accommodation property, where issues with the buildings roof (under guarantee) caused leaks in my bedrooms.
2 full bedroom ceilings including insulation were replaced, but problems with finish after a different company were brought in to decorate were noted. I explained these to Tam at Harbour, who originally very kindly arranged to have full ceiling replacement instead of patches, and he then arranged for corrections to be made to the finished job; even allowing me to highlight all areas in advance for work by his colleagues, which would then leave decorators to complete their finish again to the desired standard.
I really appreciate Harbour, and Tam in particular, for being so accommodating and making sure my property repairs were done to a good standard, after I found issues with the completed decoration.

Needed a pipe replaced and some flooring renewed after a burst pipe. Happy with the service from Harbour. They got someone out to provide an estimate quickly and at a reasonable price. We didn't have to wait too long to get the work done at a busy time.
We were really pleased with the work our joiner and plumber put in on what was an awkward job. They showed up on time, conducted themselves in a professional manner and finished the work to a good standard. They also disposed of the debris and tidied up one they'd finished. Would happily use again.

I used T.B. Mackay Energy Services to replace a failing 18 year old combi boiler which was beyond repair. I received helpful advice on the right type of replacement and the quote I was given was very competitive compared to others. The job was arranged quickly and the workmen who carried it out were polite, friendly and kept me fully informed as to what they were doing throughout. They were also neat and tidy.
