We had a boiler service today and silviu the engineer arrived on time and was polite and friendly done the job with no fuss. I would definitely be using him again and I would also recommend him to friends and neighbours
An extremely quick and efficient service. The team are all polite, tidy and diligent workers. Everything was fully explained and all options considered for the work required. Will definitely use again and fully recommend. Thank you.
Came quickly, identified the problem and fixed it in an hour.
Excellent service! SCAF were very quick to respond to my message on checkatrade, for boiler servicing. Would definitely recommend this company again for any future servicing or boiler related issues.
Excellent fixed our issue really quickly and very proffesional
I highly recommend them. Excellent quality. They were immediately available to solve all your plumbing needs. Very effective and reliable. Many thanks
I’ve had a gas boiler issue fixed by SCAF plumping and Heating Ltd- very pleased with the result. The works done were quick, professional and carried out to a high standard. Our hot water kept dropping and now after the works it’s much improved, we have far more reliable hot water. Overall, a great service! Highly recommend!
Silviu was great solved my probpem really quick even though on weekend it was really helpful and quick, other do not even touch my boiler. Great service.
Awful, intimidating company
Silviu was great!! He arrived and diagnosed the problem very quickly and advised me that I might have a similar problem in the future with the other, ‘non-broken’ sink. He fixed both in a timely manner and reassured me that all the work was under warranty. I will use him again, when the need arises.
Overall very efficient work and came to the house very quickly too as it was a emergency and was very friendly aswell!
Professional and expert advice at all times. Really fast and efficient response. Very competitive price and I definitely recommend.
Rushed, had two leaks and very expensive. Avoid.
Quick, reliable, on time and great to deal with. Would highly recommend
Boiler replacement, new thermostats and radiator relocation. Great job and very efficient. Very polite and explained in great detail the workings of the system. Highly recommend SCAF Plumbing & Heating.
Silviu was able to come same day for a non emergency issue. He quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it all within 3 hours. Super friendly and professional, would definitely call for future needs.
Excellent & efficient service from these guys.. only contacted the night before yo get my boiler serviced & they fitted me in the next day. Highly recommended
SCAF Plumbing was fast and reasonably priced in tackling my emergency situation. They returned quickly to make a water pressure adjustment as well. Thank You
Great guy for servicing of my boiler. I am very busy with job and he gave me a time suitable to my timings and was at my home in time. Very proffesionally done job and taught me few things about my boiler as well. Will Call Again.
Silviu is always on top of things. He responds quickly and does his best to fix all sorts of plumbing repairs and issues as fast as possible. He is reliable and timely. Would recommend him whole heartedly.
I am very impressed with the service I received. He was very professional and extremely polite throughout the entire interaction. He did the job quickly, promptly, and thoroughly, and I am happy with the results.
Silviu was very knowledgeable and friendly! His response time and communication were great and not only did he fix the clog in the plumbing system, he also advised us of next steps in case the problem recurred in the future.
This is the second time I've called Silviu and he was great both times. My sink was clogged this time. Silviu took care of it. Very pleasant. Great work. I dread calling most plumbers but I feel really good about calling him.
I’ve used this plumbing service several times, and every experience has been excellent. They are always prompt, reliable, and available when needed, and their rates are very reasonable. The quality of work has consistently been great, and I’ve never had an issue. Silviu, in particular, does a fantastic job—professional, courteous, and efficient. Highly recommend!
SCAF Plumbing & Heating was fantastic to work with. They delivered on their promises and they were able to replace my boiler in a reasonable timeframe without a huge mess. Pricing was fair to begin with and Silviu went above and beyond to make sure I was happy. I am very happy with their services and would strongly recommend them to anyone.
AVOID if you are a pensioner living on your own. I’ve changed my review from 5* as found out from a friend that the WiFi thermostat they sold me for £300, is selling for under £70. To say I am upset and disgusted is an understatement. They say they give a discount to pensioners which is obvious not the case. This person is on the trusted platform Checkatrade so that is why I went with them. I’ve had 2 other tradesmen from there, who were excellent. I was also told that the £3,165 I paid in cash, to supply and fit a new boiler should have normally been around £2,000. I trusted this person as I even left them alone in my home while I went to get the extra cash. I have had no reply from the email I sent a week ago giving them a chance to explain about overcharging me. That speaks volumes to me.
The engineer was friendly, straightforward, thorough and clearly very skilled and experienced at his job. … always find them reliable, knowledgeable and value for money
Do not use.
Silviu (the plumber from SCAF Plumbing & Heating) really helped me out of my emergency just now. I was really let down yesterday by All Home Repairs 24/7 which gave me very bad service. So I called SCAF Plumbing this morning around 9am and was told that a plumber will be arriving between 1pm - 5pm. Silviu actually arrived before the time slot. He resolved the issue within a 10 - 15 minutes, stopping the leak which had flooded my kitchen and living room carpets. After returning downstairs from minding my baby, I found him mopping up the excess water on the kitchen floor. He even took the time to give me some advice before he left. I am very happy with his service and will use him again. It was difficult dealing with a bad plumbing company the day before so his customer service really impressed me. Many thanks for your help.

Came very quick, polite friendly and got the job done. Would recommend.
Very good for Gas safe inspections and turns up when he says he will turn up. Very Efficient!
I’ve given five stars because I was contacted immediately and was given a same day appointment , the Enginer turned up on time was extremely polite and informative (also removed his shoes👍)we had booked a boiler service but we were having problems with our thermostat /control it turns out it was broken so had no signal, he replaced it and reprogrammed it , he took the time to explain some things to us about our radiators and boiler (nothing was too much trouble) he left the place tidy, I’ve saved his number in my phone as we will definitly be getting him back next year to service the boiler, I would recommend Scaf Plumbing & Heating one hundred per cent 😊😊😊
Excellent service!
Very fast good and leaves area clean and tidy. Very good at his job
As per our previous experience of using SCAF, we again had an excellent service. A year ago Silviu and his team serviced our boiler and cleaned and serviced all our radiators with excellent care to detail, consideration of the house and cleanliness and stayed beyond working hours to ensure all was in good working order. Today Silviu returned to service the boiler again and was courteous, polite and thorough. The paperwork was sent through within the hour and I cannot fault the service. Thank you.
He arrive on the dot. The service went well. I cannot say much..THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
service the boiler Silviu was professional and explained through out everything for me to know i will recommend 100%
They were prompt, cleaned up as they went along, very polite and respectful, they did a good job would definitely use their services again. Very happy.
Very prompt and efficient service. Replaced the combination valve on our central heating system the same day
I logged a job and got an instant response. I changed time but they accommodated me. Explained everything and did everything I could have asked for. Carried out repair quickly and helped with queries on invoicing fast. Thank you
Excellent and quick service. I can highly recommend them.
Quick response on the day I rang up and the next day he was back to do the job full of a new boiler
Very fast, efficient and knowledgable. Problem was identified quickly and repaired 36 hours later. Completely recommend as felt confident was receiving a fair service. Thank you very much!
Silviu went above and beyond to solve the issue with my combi boiler. He arrived same day, communicated his arrival well and acquired the parts needed after inspection before returning to finish the job. He explained the issue, what the steps were he was performing, outlined pricing early and provided a top service. Will definitely use again
Silviu serviced my ASHP - was very thorough and went through findings with me and was a brilliant price will definitely use him again and will recommend him to others! Thank you!
The very picture of 5 star service. My boiler broke down on Sunday and by Monday morning it was fixed. Silviu was polite, professional and informative throughout. He was clear and transparent about the work that needed doing and the costs involved at all stages. He even went above and beyond by checking other appliances and resolving an issue with one of my radiators. From today onwards the number for SCAF Plumbing and Heating is saved in my phone. Highly recommended. Thank you again!
Always solves my problems within good time and for a fair price. Good service
Swiftly responded to my request on check a trade, diagnosed the problem and came back with the parts needed to fix it. When I called back with an issue that had arisen due to the other issue being fixed he came straight out to fix it. Helpful and friendly
Absolutely fantastic service!! Boiler broke down last week and Silviu came out so quickly to assist with what we thought was the problem. Even helpes us find rhe correct part our side to speed up the fix. Turns out it was a whole different issue and boiler needed to be changed. SCAF to the rescue and managed to obtain and fit a whole new boiler within 3 hours so the kids would not have to go without hot water. Amazing, friendly and professional service, even taught the kids some things 😊 and were not bothered by being asked questions. Even offered to help with any issues that may arise via video. Great value for money, zero mess left behind. Was upfront and honest about all costs and potential set backs if problems not fixed. Talked me through the set up and use of the new boiler and the best place to keep the control panel so it registers the correct room temperatures etc. Would highly recommend with all of the stars!!!
