Mr Dad's Electricians & Gas Engineers is described by many reviewers as friendly and polite, and several say the team turned up when promised. Boiler and heating repairs are the most commonly reported jobs, with several reviewers saying the team responded quickly, including on weekends and evenings. Reviewers also report that staff explained the work clearly and helpfully. Some reviewers describe problems: one says a Gas Safety certificate was not provided after a visit and calls the service unreliable with poor communication; another reports a missed plumbing appointment without an apology and a later call that was not returned; a third describes rude customer service; and one reports a boiler repair that did not work, followed by an unnecessary further repair and difficulty getting a refund. One reviewer also says you have to pester the business to get it to come around.
Great service, fast and effective. Thanks for getting my boiler working again.
Excellent service. I phoned up to arrange a for a shower replacement. He came out the next day and completed the job. Really nice bloke, very considerate and great communication by Whatsapp. It's great when a tradesman doesn't let you down and turns up as promised. I'd definitely use Mr Dad's again.
Aadam recently upgraded my bathroom and cloakroom. A very professional job from start to finish. Good communication along the way too. He takes real pride in his work. I would have no hesitation in using his services again and recommending him to others.
We had an issue with our boiler and a leak this evening, rang our estate agents and they got a quick call out by Mr Dads, very professional and managed to fix it even though it was 8pm this evening! Highly recommend!!
A bit unreliable and poor communication. Chasing for Gas certificate that already visited but no certificate provided. When you call them they said we will send you and not happen. Very disappointing customer service.
Adam and team refitted our bathroom. Which included having to totally rebuild the door frames and architraves. They also installed some additional electrical sockets in the lounge. All the work was completed to a high standard, Adam and team were professional and tidy and turned up when they said they would. I would not hesitate to recommend them.
Came at short notice to update cooker wiring and fit new cooker - did an excellent job. 100% recommend. Since I wrote the above 6 yrs ago I've approached this firm twice. The first time they failed to show for a pre arranged plumbing job. When I contacted them they said other work had come in and didn't even apologize. Then I rang them recently for some urgent electrical work. They said they would get back to me that day but never did. In short, i'll not go near this company again. 0% recommend
horrible customer service very rude
Came and sorted faulty boiler out quickly, very informative, made aware of possible issues that didn't come to pass as he managed to fix quickly and efficiently. Would highly recommend :)
Great help over the phone with alarm problem at weekend thanks so much
Super job building electric log effect fire into chimney breast and installing pocket doors between lounge and dining room. Adam was knowledgeable and very helpful and has now given rooms the wow factor. Thanks Adam and Patrick
Excellent Job, fast and reliable
Needed a ceiling pendant light fitting changing to a flush mount E27, to accomodate a ceiling fan. Very pleased with the communication, punctuality, friendliness and workmanship from the electrician, very reasonably priced and would highly recommend.
They fixed an issue with my boiler. Very quick and professional. Super lovely to work with and very very helpful! Best people around to sort these kind of issues! Very happy
Absolutely lovely man, friendly, extremely helpful, answered all my questions and went above and beyond to make sure my boiler and other issues that wasn’t even his problem were sorted and safe for me and my baby!
Aadam and his boys made me a utility room by halving my garage and knocking through into my dining room, they also bricked up a window and put a sky light in a bedroom for us. Not only did I find them to be very professional, clean and tidy in their work I also found them to be very helpful in guiding me to what would work best for me. Would I use them again? Absolutely. Already saving for my next job
We called Mr Dad's to fix lots of outdoor lighting, including replacing broken garden lamps and sunken uplifting. They were very friendly and did a great job at a good price. Would definitely use their services again and would recommend.
They best person sort the things in professional way! The are great, HUGE Recommendations!
Good service and fast response
Mr dad gas engineer we use em alot for our Gas safety checks and breakdowns Mo is good at what he does he is Gas safe and also a qualified electrician . If we call him out for a breakdown 90.% of the time it's fixed that day awesome guy so if your looking for a good gas engineer he's your man his son is an electrician also .
Thank you Aadam for the excellent work youve done in 2 of my houses. I highly recommend this company, very good customer service, fairly priced and work done properly. Ive had bathroom repairs, boiler repaired, and some light fittings done. Will definitely continue to use Mr Dad's 😀
Mr Dads have done a few jobs for us in the last couple of years and always top notch quality work at a reasonable cost. Recently had very low pressure on my boiler and phoned Mr Dads - in two minutes I was talked thru the solution with out having to wait for a visit. It was done as a favour rather than charged - that is one fantastic selling point for the customer experience you receive from Mr Dads. Excellent.
We were very happy with the work the team did on our sockets and lighting in our bedroom, and will be giving them a call when we start work on our other rooms.
I so hope thanks for your service
Excellent service. Thanks so much for coming out and getting our boiler up and running so quickly Highly recommend
Really helpful and explained what I needed to do to understand the heaters and replaced the one that needed too be changed quickly and efficiently. Very good customer service, helped with any questions I had too. Lincoln Williams
Had no hot water, they came out straight away and fixed it there and then. Excellent service, will be using again
Wonderful service the maintenance man was in and out no problem. Very quick and 100 percent recommend
Really lovely guy, really helpful and explained the new boiler thermostat and how the use all the functions and things properly. Really good service.
2 men came to my mums house. Both very nice and done all the work that needed to be completed. Highly recommend
Had a boiler leak came out with in couple of hours (on a weekend) probably the best service I’ve ever had from the trades. Did the repair, very efficient and knowledgeable. Will definitely use him again.
Quality, speed and very friendly service.
Was out within an hour, amazing service and got us back up and running! Fabulous would 100% recommend! Thankyou Jenna
Had no heating at all and needed new thermostat,the gentleman who came out was really lovely and had it sorted out in no time :-) would highly recommend
I am impressed with your work. I enjoyed having you around. Thanks 👍👍👍
We hired Mr Dads twice now, once to move a radiator around, this time to correct a number of issues raised by our last electrical inspection/EICR (incl. new circuit board installation). Mr Dads is a meticulous electrician/plumber - good attention to detail, easy manner, takes time to explain what needs doing and what will happen next, and his work is very tidy (our electric cabinet looks brand new, all cables tidy). You do have to pester him to get him to come around, but alas, that seems to be universal in the trades. We would definitely use Mr Dads services again.
Great results, water running hotter and friendly service.
A hard working family business. Sorted my mums light, smoke alarms and fitted a new boiler. I don't ring anyone else 5*****
Done the job to a very high standard. The man went above and beyond and even sorted our light switch out whilst he was here. Very friendly and will definitely recommend. Thanks again
Very helpful gentleman came to fix our thermostat did a great job and then when shown other issues even tho he didn't have them on his jobs list he contacted his office and they were happy for them to be sorted. Very happy with the service and will be using again
Really fast and effective very polite aswell thank you
Very professional staff, quick response. Spot on identifying and resolving boiler issue.
We live 50 miles away and needed electrical checks to be done in our 80 year old relatives home. Contacted me dad's and they sorted everything for us..highly recommend
They did a brilliant job today , they took things apart and checked them thoroughly where as the last guy to come didn’t even take anything apart . Thankyou for the service x
Adam installed an electric cooker an hob for us.The job was done very quickly Would highly recommend Mr Dads.
Adam fixed our electric problem very quickly. Told us the price before he started so no arguments with the cost.
Absolutely lovely, came straight out to help us with our boiler and stayed to make sure working, really professionally and a really nice guy! 5*
Mr Dad's is very efficient and would recommend to anybody nothing is too much trouble always comes out wen we need him and never leaves a job unfinished
Our boiler broke down he sorted it no problem nothing was to much trouble would recommend mr dads for anything you need he is a very pleasant person aswell
Mr dad's is the best... different people came to fix my boiler but couldn't do anything. Mr dad's did the job within a short period of time
Very professional and friendly Finished nearly on time !!
I can't give them enough praise for the work they did for me.ticked all the boxes at a very good price
Had a boiler leak and these guys came out within 30 mins and sorted it. Thank you very much. Highly recommend
Really really amazing, they've been so quick and reliable about fixing every problem I've ever had or caused in this house, and that's honestly such a comfort. My boiler stopped working today and I sent a message thinking probably tomorrow since it was already late-ish, but he still called and talked me through fixing it and so patiently (I'm so sorry I have no idea what I am doing) so it'll work until bits can get replaced.
Mr Dad's Property Maintenance were recommended to me by a colleague at work and I can say today that it is the best recommendation ever. Mr Dad's did a fairly big job for us for a few months. Aadam is very knowledgeable and ensures that jobs are completed thoroughly. There's a lot of due diligence in their work, very professional, hard working and helpful. They did so much more work for me that is not mentioned above; plastering, plumbing, joinery etc. Aadam was always updating us on the jobs and communicating with us when needed. The finishing is amazing - I now have a beautiful home. A big thank you to all at Mr Dad's. Mr Dad's have more planned work to do at my property in the near future as I am prepared to wait and be confident that the work is completed professionally. I will recommend their services any time.
Great friendly service, fast response, also the plumber explained the issue to me and exactly what they had done to sort it.
10/10 Excellent service. Travelled from Leeds and needed some industrial cable sorting out asap. Mr Dad was available within 20 minutes on a Sunday to do this. Very professional and quick.
Once again Mr Dads to the rescue. I have used Mr dads twice now. once to fault find and repair some electrical lighting issues and more importantly today after a burst hot water pipe. Mohammed and team were prompt always, courteous, fairly priced and left the place spotless. I cannot recommend them highly enough and will continue to use them.
Good job
Really happy with the work done , very professional , knowledgable, tidy and friendly, I would definitely recommend and would have give a 5 if communication was a bit better . Thanks again 👍🏼
Can't praise the guys enough. It was a nightmare situation and they succeeded where others have failed! Would definitely recommend.
Mr Dads was very professional and polite, I had no electricity going through my kitchen which meant I had no heating hot water, no cooker, fridge freezer, microwave kettle or washer due to a new kitchen being fitted the previous year and a junction box being fitted but could not locate it. Mr Dads stayed and went through everything including underfloor boards to put me at ease and ensure everything was fixed and I had the essentials I needed. Thankyou mr Dad would definitely use again.
Before and after. We smelt a gas leak around our meter under the stairs, the guys turned up were polite and professional. Good to chat with while they were working and quickly identified where the problem may have a been and sorted out the bodge job done by the previous work. Quick and efficient, did a great job. I’ll get that bracket out too lads! Thanks a million, team and work was great.
Mr Dads was recommended by a neighbour of mine for their knowledge and skills relating to complex electrical central heating system. I contacted Mr Dads and found them to be polite and knowledgeable about our electrical system. The repair was carried out promptly and efficiently to a high level. We were updated at regular intervals about the necessary repairs and the cost , which was very reasonable. Mr Boardman. Didsbury area
Absolutely wonderful gentleman came into my home & fixed the problem in no time with my boiler. He explained everything to me in a 'language' I understood I'm not the brightest of buttons ! Highly recommended 5* 100%
They arrived when they said they would and fixed the boiler , had been without heating all over Xmas. Really good ,knew what he was doing .
The Engineer came out to fix my boiler, was on time, friendly and efficient. Even came back 2 weeks later to reset the salus app, very helpful..would highly recommend and will be calling Mr Dad's in the new year to service the boiler.
Very nice men very friendly job well done will use again for my boiler thank you
Very good service and fast
Excellent firm, wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
Mr Dad's service and work has been nothing short of brilliant... After trying over 10 local companies who all gave me different prices, advise and timescales for my new boiler installation I contacted Mr Dad's late on Sunday evening and they were more than happy to speak to me and assess my requirements. My requirements were challanging as I needed to convert from a combi to a system boiler in a different location with under the house piping work needed, to add to this I was going away and needed the work completed over the following weekend. Mr Dads came over the next day assessed, advised and reassured me they will fit me in and guarantee the work would be completed on time which was a huge relief and nothing was too much trouble. All meterials were delivered on time, communication was clear and the installation team worked 12+ hours on a Saturday and 14 hours on a Sunday to ensure they kept their promise before I went away. The installation team were meticulous in their work and went above and beyond the level of service I would expect at such a busy time for the trade. The company stuck to their word. Price reasonable and only asked for payment when I was happy with everything which is true testiment to their honesty and pride in their work. Thank you to the full Mr Dad's team.
I dont usually do reviews as I usually forget.. But this time I was determined to review this company. The service I received from this company was first class, a very nice guy came round to my house, within a matter of hours, he fixed our Decorative gas fire in no time, gave us lots of advice about the fire. This is a company who care about their customers, you dont find that often do you ?
Good service, pleasant to deal with, not over expensive.
needed 2 smoke detectors fitted. Marcus turned up on time and very courteous. did the work very quickly and to a high standard. Very happy with this company
Called on a Saturday after many others in the area didn't answer, got through and the gentleman was very helpful and arranged for an electrician to come out on the next Tuesday. Electrician Marcus arrived within the quoted time period on the Tuesday and was very helpful, quick and efficient. Helped me understand what had happened and highlighted some other work which could be needed. Overall very pleased, good value for money and very friendly & efficient throughout.
Professional Installation from a great company. Highly Recommended
Very happy
Had an external overflow pipe that needed sorting out. And it was, next day. Sorted. Would recommend.
Great service,would recommend.
I have called Mr Dad's Electrician for help with my gas boiler, there were the only ones in the area to call back on the same day. Very quick response and fantastic service! Much recommended!
Replaced light pendant. All arranged by phone and WhatsApp. Job done when they said and very neat. Photos sent to confirm on completion. Excellent.
Absolutely faultless service. Wired my cooker in for me and did an excellent job, couldn't be happier. Lovely guys. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
Had a couple of electrical jobs that I wanted doing, contacted Mr Dad's who were helpful and provided me with a quote, Adaam was very knowledgeable and honest. Aadam came carried out the work, he was professional and friendly. Happy with the work done on the day outdoor socket fitted, light switch installed in the garage and a loft light and switch installed. Would definitely recommend and will use them again in future.
Highly recommend, Got the job done quick and easy very friendly and nice people Amazing service 👍🏻
I rang in desperation for an electrician and hsd to leave a message they kindly returned my call as a courtesy but were not available to help
Very professional..
Previously had a few issues with the shower, boiler and toilet which Mo has always been able to fix to a high standard. (As well as carrying out the yearly boiler checks.) He came round ASAP when we had no hot water running (within an hour or so,) fixed the issue and taught us how we can fix it ourselves if the problem arises again. He does a thorough job every time and replaces any parts necessary, (especially when previous workers haven’t done the job properly) and makes sure you’re happy that the problem is fixed before leaving. Always willing to help with any issues and is very friendly. Would definitely recommend!
Called mr dads about broken boiler and they came and diagnosed the problem the same day, after discussion we decided to have it replaced rather than repaired and they fitted the new boiler the next morning
Aadam and his team were an absolute dream. We had our 2 bed Victorian terrace renovated at the height of the first lockdown in 2020 and what should have been an incredibly stressful time, was made (dare I say it) enjoyable. We initially called Aadam to quote for a re-wire but (in addition to the re-wire) he ended up fitting new radiators in every room, fitting a new kitchen (including appliances), fitting a new bathroom, opening some doorways and countless other “smaller” jobs in between (sorry Aadam!). I’m pretty sure my partner has some form of OCD but each and every job was completed to an incredible standard. We recommend the Mr Dad’s team to all of our family and friends and know that we’ll use them again in the future. If you want a job doing properly, we would highly recommend Mr Dad’s Property Maintenance. Aadam goes above and beyond and we are very grateful that we found him.
Called out to fit a new Hive device to Boiler. Aadam was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable in fitting and helping me set up the Hive App. He didn't leave till i was comfortable using the new Hive device which was really helpful. Would highly recommend!
My heating and hot water suddenly stopped working. Mohammed was able to come round within hours to replace a faulty valve to get things back on track. Good value, friendly service.
I contacted Mr Dad's after being let down by a plumber at the last minute (before having plasterers booked in to re-plaster our bathroom). Not only did Adam book us in the very next day, but when a problem occurred he went out of his way to return and fix the issue after hours. I would not hesitate to to recommend Adam and Dean to anyone looking for an electrician or plumber in the North West. We are so grateful and I only regret not being able to make them a cup of tea!
Installation of new gas cooker completed expertly with minimum fuss and no mess. Attended at short notice. Very impressed.
I have used Mr Dads 4 times now for a variety of jobs. They are reliable, friendly and courteous. They explain everything and leave everything tidy. I highly recommend them.
I needed my Hive relocating from an old boiler to the new boiler. Contacted Adam who got back to me straight away and gave me a price for the job. He came quickly and whilst here also sorted a leak on my shower and taps. Very personable, reasonably priced and knowledgeable. Would definitely use again.
The owner is the winner of the staring competition So rude
I had Mr Dads doing some electrical and gas work at my house and my friend house and I always recommend them to all my friends and family. There great customer service, and high quality job its unquestionable. Thanks so much Mr Dads
Adam was brilliant called out on short notice and very reasonable as well, top lad and did a very professional job - very happy with his service
Excellent service
Rang Mr Dads to see if an engineer could come out but due to the outbreak non were available as full house had shorted out. Amazing service over the phone gentlemen guided me through the process and got me up and running for now. Definitely recommend just from the service over the phone.
We had spotlights fitted all around our house, Aadam and Patrick have been exceptional and did a fantastic job putting them in. They are very friendly and reasonably priced, very trustworthy people that take their time to ensure tasks are carried out properly. I will be using them again in future. Kind regards, Ahmed
DO NOT USE THIS FIRM'S PLUMBING SERVICE!!! - Used last month to diagnose a faulty boiler, the guy who visited stated it needed a new valve and seal. Ordered parts and then fitted, at a cost of £130, however, boiler was actually worse, noisier and not responding to the digital thermostat at all, which it had been previously. Called him back, only to be told that it was now something else completely ( expansion vessel) at a further cost of £160. Decided to seek a second opinion from Adam's Plumbers and am glad I did as within a minute of arriving, I was told there was absolutely nothing wrong with the expansion vessel but that a new heat exchanger was required and that the 2 parts which had been replaced (sump cover and a seal) had done nothing to remedy the problem and was completely unnecessary work. The lovely guy from Adam's suggested I contact the manufacturer directly, as the cost would be much cheaper. I contacted Ideal Boilers, who visited and concurred with the diagnosis provided by Adam's Plumbers. I now have a working boiler but have the headache of reclaiming my money from Mr Dad's via legal channels, as despite requesting a reimbursement, I am still waiting! Do yourself a favour and stay clear of this firm if you have any boiler issues, use Adam's Plumbers instead would be my recommendation.
Had an interruption to our gas supply and with going away the next morning it needed sorting. Rang for help and they were at the door in quick time. Very friendly, very professional and I would have no hesitation using them again or recommending to others. Many thanks!
Really great service, our boiler broke the day before Christmas Eve and the guys came and replaced it so quickly and it was very affordable. Great service.
Mohammed and his team have been reliable, cost effective and honest from the first call I made to them. As a landlord it’s important to find these type of skilled tradesmen but sadly they are rare. I’m pleased I’ve found mr dads and will continue to use their services. Great communication from Mohammed, a very trustworthy man. He got my electrics and gas services sorted during a stressful time. Very competitive pricing and the re assurance of knowing the job would be complete was priceless. Thank you Mohammed and your team. A very grateful landlord. Mark
Mr Dad had installed a new consumer box in my property over a year ago. This morning my appliances tripped in the kitchen and he assisted me straight away via a telephone consultation. Through his advice was able to ascertain what was wrong. Professional service.
Called Mr Dad's to fix my boiler. He came the same day. He does not charge by the hour, but only a small fee to diagnose and fix the problem. The boiler needed a pump which he supplied at a very good price (we checked online and the price was slightly higher online). I am very very happy with the service and value for money.
Great value and service. Would recommend again.
Great service very polite and helpful people do a great job would recommend them to family and friends
I called Mr Dads yesterday after drilling through a wire and they were fantastic. Speedy response, very commutative and great service. A lovely young man came and fixed the problem, he couldn't have been more helpful. Would absolutely recommend them and will certainly be using them again in the future. Thanks again.
No electricity this morning!!... Panic stations!!... Contacted Mr.Dads......here within the hour....problem quickly identified and solved.....panic over!.Smart looking workmen.Efficient,friendly,reasurring service.Would definitely recommend this company.Wouldnt hesitate to use again.Thank you guys.
Excellent service. Prompt. Polite. Got on with the job. Highly recommend them!
Very pleased with the work they was very friendly and did a amazing job putting my wall lights up and taking my old gas fire out Would definitely recommend And will be using Mr Dad's in the future
reliable, excellent professional team, installed a new water heater device, one day completed and very nice work
All work carried out to an exceptional high standard and competitively priced,highly recommended.
Excellent service, very helpful and reliable at very short notice, highly recommend
Absolutely excellent service - couldn't have asked for better standard of performance. The best in the business.
I would definitely not recommend this company I was told he would be here to my property before 5 and he came at quarter past to then proceed with the problem which was the boiler. He took something out cleaned it put it back in and said it was fixed. Only gone from our home 10 min and original problem back again. No heating or hot water. And he knew it needed a part to fix the boiler but just left without telling us.
Aadam and his team carried out various works at our Head Office whilst we were undergoing a refurbishment, works included plumbing and electrical works. Throughout the whole process Aadam and his team conducted themselves in a very professional and polite manner, works were completed on schedule and to a very high standard. I would certainly recommend their services and will be using them again in the future.
Mr Dads team were professional, friendly and very helpful with our requirements. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone who need big or small jobs done to their home. Fantastic five star service!
Mr Dads fixed our fussy old electric boiler and is a really nice guy! Also fixed our taps and came out to see us on a Saturday. He always goes above and beyond to help his customers!
Great job upgrading electric supply to outhouse. Overall - Reliable, friendly and professional, no rush happy to advice and job completed quickly and to a great standard. Job: Electric supply to outhouse failed. Mr dads identified problems with cable supplying the electric, (which was not a easy job) and provided a temp fix and advice regarding up grades needed to make the electric supply safe/match regs. Upgrade booked in for later date, good prices quoted. Cable to be replaced and breaker box fitted to ensure supply through the cable to outhouse did not exceed safe levels. This involved running a new cable under my garden to the outhouse. By the time work was completed you could not tell my garden had been disturbed. Breaker box in outhouse also replaced and mounted on wall in a more suitable smarter manner to previous breaker (showing good attention to detail). Would highly recommend and use again.
Professional and courteous service. Adam was great and responded quickly to emails. Work was done with no fuss and Adam managed to work around a 96 year old grandma in the property as well. Recommended and will definitely use again Cheers
I would definitely recommend this company! They have just fitted my chandelier. They were prompt, professional efficient and very polite. Explained the process and cleaned up after himself. Have already arranged for further electrical instalments!
Excellent customer Service from Mo! Couldn’t fix the problem but took time to explain why and offered suggestions for replacement parts which he will source. Not pushy would recommend.
First class quality workmanship, friendly and polite. Any issues came and dealt with in a timely manner. Would certainly recommend if you require any work doing
Friendly & professional, got all the jobs done quickly and made sure I was happy with every part. Thanks guys !
Professional, helpful and prompt service from a very personable gentleman. Brilliant customer service.
Brilliant experience with this company. I recommend to anyone
