4.5
A P V Boiler Services Ltd has a long-standing group of customers: several reviewers describe using the firm for over 15 or 20 years, and one for 22 years, for heating, plumbing and boiler work. Reviewers describe boiler installations and replacements, bathroom installations and plumbing work, and a few were pleased with the speed of response for urgent problems, including same-day visits and a call-out just before Christmas. Multiple reviewers describe the team as professional, friendly and tidy, with one saying the team protected the property before starting work. Some describe problems getting appointments and call-backs: one reviewer reports repeated appointments and no-shows and says a boiler pressure problem was not resolved after paying for a boiler key; another says a quote visit was not arranged after being told they would be called back; and a third says they could not get a date for a boiler service despite offering several dates.
APV installed my original boiler about 20 years ago, and when it recently started to falter, I had no hesitation in calling them again. The replacement was completed in a single day. The team took great care to protect my property before starting work, and the whole process was simple, efficient, and carried out to the same high standard I remembered from years ago. A well-oiled machine made up of a lovely team of people — highly recommended.
I have been using APV for all our heating for 22 years and they remain a great company to deal with.
Excellent Boiler Service from Ashley, very polite & efficient. (See you this time next year.
Excellent team, really professional and friendly. Fast response, clear quote and schedule of work. Kept me well informed throughout and gave me options to save money on what needed doing without compromising on quality of work. Will definitely be using again and would happily recommend to any of my friends and family.
Had a minor issue with the boiler not firing up after a possible gas leak. Tried all the home fixes with no success, called APV and they were round the same day and had the issue fixed in no time. Delighted with the service.
Anton and his team not only completed the job brilliantly (one that many other plumbers weren’t prepared to take on) but they also came back to help with moving radiators so that the plasterer could make good. Always professional, efficient, on time, reliable and at a reasonable cost.
Very good service. My heating had been playing up for a week and eventually just packed in. It took three visits, but God love them ,they sorted it out. I'd use them again in a heartbeat and I highly recommend them.
APV came out last minute just before Christmas and did a great job on our oil boiler - highly recommended!
Spoke to Anton late afternoon to tell him I had a leaking value near the boiler. Gary came at 8.00 am the next day fixed the problem and fully serviced the boiler. Excellent service can not be faulted.
Amazing service , couldn’t of been any better , such a helpful company who sorted out the boiler within a day of me ringing them . Anton and his team deserve a 100% review , no faults at all , a very neat and tidy job would definatley recommend to all my friends and family , and I will be using them again , Thankyou so much ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Anton and team are always reliable and provide a great service. Highly recommend!
APV has given me a service that is both effective and reliable for some years. I can well recommend it.
We are absolutely delighted with the new bathroom Anton and his team created for us. They were accommodating of our needs and requirements and we felt very comfortable having them in our home. They also installed a new boiler. The team were friendly, knowledgeable, hard working and professional and we are really happy with the results, so much so we have invited them back to do another project! We would thoroughly recommend them.
Anton and his team have been looking after all our plumbing and gas requirements over the past 15 years. Also, for my mother next door. They have provided fantastic service, including installing new boilers, tanks etc and are fantastic in an emergency! We inherited dodgy plumbing!
I highly recommend Anton with his efficient and friendly boiler / heating system installation team. The work was done on time and within budget - no complaints whatsoever. Julian in Oxford
Outstanding and great value-for-money service. We trust them for any job, small or really big (they re-did the whole central heating in our house). They are very knowledgeable, reliable, polite, and always able to match the right solution for the problem we had (e.g. a leaking oil tank). we have now relied on APV Boiler Services for almost two decades, in three different houses, and we strongly recommend them. They have the key of our house and when something really urgent is needed, they come in 24 hours, no matter how busy they are, weekends included.
Anton and his experienced team at APV replaced 2 bathrooms for me recently in North Oxford, they were very professional, always courteous, and timely. I enjoyed working with them as they also very knowledgeable about the work involved in the job, especially as we live in a period house. I am very happy to recommend them and to provide a reference and for their work.
Very, very bad experience. Repeated appointments made resulting in no-shows. I have already paid this company over £100 for the provision of a £7 boiler key and only five minutes of attention to my boiler. The boiler's pressure problem continues but it is impossible to get a return visit by the engineer to investigate further. Unreliable, time wasting, and costly service. I will have nothing more to do with this company.
After looking at some of the mixed reviews on this company I thought I would arrange to get a quote for a full heating and plumbing installation in a property we are renovating. Unfortunately we were not treated with any respect. Firstly, they implied that we would not be able to afford their work and secondly they did not call me back to arrange a site visit, as they had promised. Would definitely not recommend this company.
I asked politely a couple of times if they would come and do a service on my boiler - they would not give me a date - just said "would call before visit" I gave them several options/dates when I would be home - no calls, no texts - from them - frankly disgusted with them. - Will never try them again and will make that known to all my (and their) local contacts. They do not deserve the 1 star I have to click to publish this.
We're absolutely delighted with Anton and his team (Anton is the owner). So much so that after having them fit a complete new heating system, we asked them back to do the bathroom install. We had three quotes on the heating, while APV's was in the mid-range on price; it was obvious that they were going to do the best job. What we got with Anton's quote was more than 'That'll be a dozen rads and something with fire in', he walked the house, made loads of suggestions, made it clear that he understood how a family would use each room and acted more as a design consultant. The end result was that clever placement of radiators, hanging at the tightest bracket setting (awkward for installers but great for householders), and use of high-output but super thin units meant we gained space in many rooms. APV are on Worcester Bosch's approved installer list so have a preference for those models, the advantage is that by using an approved installer we got an extra two years on the boiler warranty. It also means APV's installers have been through the right courses from the manufacturer and that further added to our confidence in them. Over the three days of installation, the team worked neat, fast and were friendly and professional. I liked too that Anton regularly came by to check work, solve challenges and to make sure we were happy. Which we were throughout! One last point: all of the team, including the boss, arrive in liveried vans wearing professional uniforms with the APV and Worcester Bosch logos on them. That might seem like a small detail but for us, it's reassuring - it suggests they care enough about their reputation to literally wear their names on their sleeves. Finally - I'd like to make it clear that we have no connection to APV or Anton other than as happy customers, this review is entirely independent. We would highly recommend APV to anyone needing heating or a new bathroom.
