Had a boiler service from Bill, his speed and professionalism was top notch. He also provided help pointers to help improve out central heating system
I had just moved into a place where the boiler had been shut off for a while and the pump has seized. Bill sorted the issue quickly and got my heating working again. My work schedule makes weekday visits hard so Bill was able to come on a Saturday to sort that for me. I'll definitely be using him in the future.Thanks again!
Very effective and timely service. The team attended immediately upon being notified, and completed the boiler and radiator servicing within minutes.
We needed the boiler servicing and radiators checked as we wanted to get ready for the winter. Bill and Simon booked us in quickly and came round and did an amazing job. They called before arriving. Best plumbers in Reading, would recommend.
Knowledgeable folks. Quick replacement of part. Will definitely use their services in future. Thanks
Really happy with the service! He turned up on time, was super friendly and polite, and got straight on with the job. He fixed an outlet pipe and also took a look at our broken shower, explaining things clearly and making sure everything was sorted properly. It was all done quickly and to a high standard. Would definitely call again and recommend
Billy provided an excellent service . Advised me when he would be able to come , kept me informed all the way along and arrived punctually . Job was completed very efficiently and Billy talked me through the steps and what work had been completed . All round great job , very impressed and will use again if I need a plumber
Been using Billy at comfy heating for about four years now. Always thorough and on time with great alround service.
Really professional and super quick thank you so much
Billy sorted out my hot water, on time very efficient, cleaned up after the job and very good value not over priced
It was lovely to have Billy to fix a problem with our Combi boiler and to do the yearly servicing. Billy was very professional, explained to me what he was doing, what the issue was and recommended what was the right way to fix the issue. He ensured everything was tested after the fix and property was clean before he left.
Professional quick response. Good service
Billy responded immediately when I phoned him and he was very upfront about when he would be able to come and assist with a leak in our loft. Upon arrival he was incredibly polite and had an air that put my wife and I at easy right away. His work was very quick, professional and above all he kept us informed along the way. He also made a point to have a human conversation with us rather than just sticking to talking about the job. In less than 24 hours of us realising there was an issue - never mind 24 hours of him being informed, our issue had been resolved. A great company and above all an excellent work person in Billy. Definitely our go to any future issues they may be able to help with.
Excellent response time and service . Reasonable price and good professional.
Very professional and friendly, really knows his job.
Very professional. Good communication throughout. Arrived on time. Excellent work.
Really good and professional service from Comfy Heating. They turned up on time and were very careful working around our new carpet. The installation of our new radiator went well and they were able to adapt to an unforeseen problem without issue. I’d highly recommend them to anyone in the Reading area.
Excellent and reliable plumber, who charges a fair rate and does certs to. Recommended.
Billy was transparent with pricing, laid out expectations and completed work to high quality aligned with his quote.
British Gas capped off my boiler during their service visit saying it was unsafe and I needed a new one (followed up two hours later by a salesman recommending a £4.5k replacement) - I found Billy via Google as he was local to me - asked him to check things out - he visited very promptly and advised that the boiler was fine and reconnected it, supplying a gas safety certificate. He easily could have sold me a new boiler so I found very refreshing that he gave me the all clear - will definitely be keeping his number and cancelling my British Gas Service contract. Only my wife was in at time of visit, she said he was polite and respectful, explaining things fully.
Great honest service at reasonable price!
The Comfy heating guys were brilliant in fixing the waste pipe on the shower which had flooded the house. Excellent workmanship and genuinely lovely fellas
5star service
Extremely good customer service , very clear communication and called me with ETA before arrival , completed job to a high standard , would highly recommend
Billy did a brilliant job in diagnosing a tricky problem with our system. The boiler is now working fine and providing copious amounts of hot water on demand. Thanks for doing a great job when others failed.
Reliable, professional, and efficient gas engineer. Arrived on time, completed the work to a high standard, and explained everything clearly. Highly recommended
Very happy with Comfy who serviced the boiler. Upfront with cost quote, prompt and efficient delivery, very polite communicating with me
Amazing plumber and heating engineers. They turns up when they say, they are transparent with what needs to be done and honestly priced. We used them in our old house and now in our new house, so for many years now. Our go to plumbing and heating engineers
When my usual gas boiler man couldn’t fix the problem, Bill did ! Thank you. Trustworthy and knowledgeable. Will definitely use you again.
Very fast and efficient service, great communication and customer service, highly recommend
Bill from comfy heating came over to us last week to replace our water pump which had started leaking. Super friendly, polite, extremely helpful. I will definitely be recommending Bill to anyone who needs a plumber. Thanks again.
The boiler was making a cracking sound, git help from Comfy. The service was quick and effective.
We were having water pressure issues at my home. Causing real problems and grief with 3 ladies in the house and electric showers struggling for enough water. Billy was a godsend. His approach is fantastic, with explanations and clear plan on how to problem solve. It was a head scratcher why this was happening but Billy being the diligent, thorough professional that he is got to the root cause and now we are good as gold. Heartfelt thanks.
Great experience with Comfy Heating & Plumbing Ltd! If you need a reliable plumber Reading, they’re professional, quick, and did a fantastic job. Highly recommend!
I recommend Bill, he's done fantastic job of serving the boiler; truly professional and highly committed service.
Excellent service. Flexible, punctual and knowledgable. Billie was attentive, professional and made sure a complicated job of fixing a tricky toilet problem was completed in good time. I’m extremely happy to recommend them
Thank you very much for arranging the visit promptly. The best think I liked was the open and professional conversation. It helps to build confidence with the service provider. Definitely recommend.
Bill and his colleague replaced a faulty kitchen tap for us. It turned out it wasn't a straightforward job as it seemed because of the design of the sink. I appreciated their hard work and excellent workmanship, getting it done quickly. They even made an effort to hoover the under sink before they left. Bill has also been very clear and transparent with his charges, which I appreciated very much.
i’ve used Billy for a number of years for my flat. This week i used him for replacing my shower cartridge. He is always professional, kind and does a good job.
Excellent experience, really friendly and professional service. Super-fast diagnosis of our boiler issue. Would definitely use this company again and would highly recommend.
Bill and Simon did an excellent job for me and I am happy to recommend them.
Our boiler had been making frequent gurgling noises even though it was serviced a month ago, so we called Bill. He was very professional, turned up exactly as promised, right on time, and clearly explained his charges beforehand. He diagnosed the issue efficiently and was easy to deal with. Would definitely use his service again and highly recommend him.
Had an issue with my boiler and he was brilliant from start to finish. Turned up quickly and even tried to fit me in earlier than expected, which I really appreciated. Friendly, easy to talk to, and took the time to explain exactly what was wrong. Clear, honest, and knew his stuff. Wouldn’t hesitate to use him again or recommend him to anyone.
We had a great experience and will ask Bill back for all our plumbing needs. He's got great expertise in checking our heating and giving our gas boiler its annual check. Really personable chap, who doesn't upsale you, respects your house and sorts the issue quickly. Very happy, indeed.
Really pleased with the job that was done on my bathroom tap. It was done fast and proper. Recommend. Really nice guy aswell
Nice people and a good service! Will be using in the future!
I have used Billy at Comfy Plumbing a couple of times now. He’s always reliable, efficient and generally a nice guy to deal with. He’s my go-to person for any plumbing work I need and I would highly recommend him.
We've had two jobs done by them recently. One of which was a tricky one to deal with. In both cases the job was done quickly and done well. Friendly guys who know what they are doing!
Amazing service sorting our boiler and leaking gas pipe. Always super responsive and helpful. Would recommend to anyone
Bill is a very trusted gas engineer and professional tradesperson. He did a great job fitting our automatic thermostat, explaining the best option on the market and fitted as soon as he could. He also serviced our boilers for the past 4 years. Professional and reliable couldn’t recommend enough.
Rightly identified the issue with the boiler and resolved it so professionally at one go! Appreciate your service!
Bill was a great help, he’s very helpful and very professional. He saved the day after the heating and hot water system was playing up at my rental property He figured out what was wrong straight away and put it right efficiently. Both I and my tenant really appreciated his professional and efficient service.
First impressions count and extremely pleased with bill and his college work. Would definitely recommend.
Having a plumber that is responsive, honest and knowledgeable is priceless! Thankyou Billy. 5. *****
Great job by Bill & So fixing my broken toilet. Both friendly,tidy & efficient. Bill with So made a special point of returning on the same day to check & fix my boiler so I could have proper hot water & heating. All very Much appreciated. I would recommend their services.
Brilliant service! Instead of pushing me to replace my boiler, Comfy Boiler repaired it and saved me a fortune. The boiler is running smoothly again, and I really appreciate the honest, trustworthy approach.” Thanks billi
We thoroughly recommend Comfy Heating & Plumbing Ltd. They were a pleasure to deal with and their work was top notch, helping us locate a long term leak and replacing the tank as a result. They worked right through the heat wave to make sure everything was fitted and working well. They were brilliant.
Honest and reliable trader. Billy from Comfy has been very helpful and accommodating, his work ethic is second to none. Highly recommended.
Arrived on time for boiler service . Very professional.would use again . Very reasonable price
Impressed at the quality of work, advice and general professionality. There were some initial problems but all were resolved without becoming issues, and all done within the allotted time. Will use again.
EDITED TO ADD: SCAMMERS HAVE HIJACKED THIS COMPANIES NAME AND REPUTATION!!! Only use the number in the reply of this review to contact the legit company! My review below is for the SCAMMERS using this business' name incorrectly! I chose this company due to the high rating and recommendations in the local area (now I realise it isn't local to me, but they confirmed they covered my area). Firstly, once I had booked, I received no confirmation via text or email, so had to rely on verbal confirmation over the phone upon booking. Then, on the day, after booking a 3-4pm appointment, I had no contact whatsoever, and come 4pm, after having no one turn up, I rung up, to be told the engineer was late and they couldn't get ahold of them. The lady on the phone said she'd ring me back once she'd managed to get ahold of the engineer (which she didn't). If it wasn't for me calling, I would not have known, as I received zero contact from the company themselves. The engineer never turned up. I rang about 5 times, and only by 6:15pm did I have a definite answer that the engineer had a personal emergency, after I suggested I find another company to help me. I was also promised a callback from a manager, which never happened. Then, at 6:30pm I had a call back to ask if I still needed my engineer today??? After being told they couldn't come out and I have rebooked for the following day?? (Also, the rebook for the following day did not arrive either, after many promises from the lady on the phone that they would be here!!!) it was only after cancelling at 10:30am the following day that I got a call back my the engineer to explain the circumstances. The phone number linked to 'Comfy Heating' also answered with the name '24hr heating Services' which just added to my confusion. I have also tried to call other 'local' companies, but it is the same people who answer, so it seems like a lot of 'local' companies are using a centralised call centre? I could be wrong, but the service from them was appalling. I appreciate that some things are out of certain control, but my expectations was extremely poor!!
Fantastic service, support and communication from Billy at Comfy Heating and Plumbing. Have not met a nicer man who is patient and helped resolve a problem to everyone’s complete satisfaction. First class!! Recommend without hesitation.
Contacted comfy plumbing for somebody yo repair a leaking mains water supply pipe. Leak being adjacent to water meter and in driveway. Told they had people loxal to me and price for callout with first hour labour. Also said that somebody would be at my house in 1 hour. 2.1/2 hours later, no show, no call to advise. Phoned to cancel.
Billy is the best plumber we've finally been able to find - and we've tried a few ! Billy was knowledgable even during first contact over the phone. We had multiple issues including the shower hot water not working and the cold taps upstairs not working but being ok downstairs. Billy methodically problem solved sharing his 30+ yrs experience along the way giving us confidence that proved well founded. Problem was fixed and at a very reasonable price. He also diagnosed some boiler issues we'd been having while he was here. We know who we're calling next time we need any kind of plumbing work done.
Bill came and completed an emergency call out due to a faulty boiler sensor. Fixed the issue quickly and checked everything else to do with the hot water to make sure all was wells
Great service, got us out of a tricky situation after being let down by another emergency plumber. Went above and beyond with great customer care. Would recommend and will use again. Thanks guys
I have been using Comfy Heating for many years.They always provide a reliable, professional service . The work is always up to a high standard. I would have no hesitation in recommending Comfy Heating.
Very professional, trustworthy service from start to finish, at a reasonable price. Billy is a true gentleman. Would definitely use again.
Great service as usual. Found a leak on our water cylinder on Sunday night and Bill and Si were round the next day to have a look. Cylinder needed replacing and it was all sourced and completed by Wednesday afternoon. Price was reasonable and work was carried out to the usual high standard. Can also confirm that Comfy Heating & Plumbing is indeed a family business and having done business with them over the last 5 years there has never been a call centre in sight!
I recently had a gas safety check carried out and was extremely impressed with the service. The engineers Bill and Simon arrived on time, were polite, and explained everything clearly. They carried out a thorough inspection of all appliances and ensured everything was safe and compliant. The whole process was efficient and gave me great peace of mind. I would definitely recommend this service to anyone needing a reliable gas safety check. Excellent work!
Very happy with the emergency fix completed recently. Extremely quick response, all necessary work explained before it was undertaken, site left clean after completion.
Bill is great!! We have had multiple plumbing issues with our rental property in reading. He has engaged amazing with our tenets and spent time making sure that any solutions and thought through and will last the test of times highly recommended!!
All work was done very professionally, quick, clean, tidy and prompt. It was very nice to meet Billy today and I think we are so lucky as he did an amazing job.
came out promptly, diagnosed the fault in no time, and got us back up and running that same day. Professional, tidy, and confident in his knowledge and work.
Great service! They fixed our leaking sink quickly and professionally. Very friendly, efficient, and left everything clean. Highly recommend
Thanks comfy heating & plumbing, my job done with professionally, excellent service
Absolutely fantastic service! The gas engineer was professional, punctual, and quickly diagnosed and fixed the issue with our boiler. Highly recommend!
It’s stressful enough when stuff breaks, so having someone reliable turn up fast and just get it sorted was a massive relief. Price was decent too for a call-out. Proper professional service definitely keeping their number saved!
He explained everything clearly, fixed the issue on the spot, and even helped advise on clean-up. Exceptional service in a stressful moment.
Thank you for completing the gas inspection and boiler services.
Fast and friendly service! Billy and team were able to service my boiler and fix hot water issue in good time. Will definitely go to them again with any other issues!
Boiler Service - we would highly recommend Billy, he's a lovely chap, polite, speedy and knows his trade very well. Thank you Billy. :-)
When you want a trader and in this case Comfy heating “Billy” is honest and great work ethic so this is the man for your job.I do not do many reviews but in this situation its highly deserved
Top class & very helpful
Highly recommend Billy from Comfy Heating. He has been out a few times for the boiler - he is easy to contact, arrives on time and does the work to a high standard for a fair price.
Very friendly, responsive, and on time. Fixed the boiler and have not had any issues since.
Our boiler had stopped working not only did Comfy Heating diagnose the problem they went above and beyond to fix the problem the same day. Couldn't be happier. Great service reasonably priced. Would definitely use again.
Very trustworthy and friendly. They provide a price quote upfront, and they know what they are doing. They also provide valuable advice to avoid future problems. I highly recommend their service.
If you want to save yourself, time and avoid having an experience like ours. The first company to call is Comfy Plumbing and Heating Ltd. The problem was solved the same day in the most professional manner.
Bill and Simon were a pleasure to work with. What seemed like a simple task to replace an existing washbasin and stand in the bathroom turned into a potential nightmare owing to nonstandard and unsuitable products and fittings supplied by the manufacturer. Bill had to use all of his experience and ingenuity to connect things successfully, and at a very reasonable price given that he had to make 2 visits on different days. Many thanks, much appreciated!
★★★★★ I had an excellent experience with Billy when he installed my new washer/dryer. He was punctual, arriving on time, and maintained great communication throughout the process, keeping me informed at every step. His work was efficient and professional, ensuring everything was installed perfectly. Beyond that, he went the extra mile by helping me move my old washing machine outside, which I truly appreciated. His pleasant and friendly character made the whole experience even better. I highly recommend him for any plumbing work—reliable, skilled, and genuinely helpful!
Quick and knowledgeable, advised me on the best way to deal with boiler issues and replaced the plate heat exchanger.
Great service, fairly priced and very responsive. Have been a customer for several years and would still recommend.
I had a great experience with comfy heating and plumbing, I had a issue with the hot water on my boiler and billy diagnosed the issue no problem. I would highly recommend
I found Bill to be trustworthy, reliable and competant. He serviced my boiler and carried out repairs of the boiler promptly. I would have no hesitation in recommending him. Just used Bill again for another annual boiler service and found him to be reliable and proffesional at all times. I just used Bill again as we had no hot water, he quickly diagnosed the problem and repaired the boiler. Bill just fitted a new boiler for me. He behaved in a proffesional manner at all times and I would have no hesitation recomending him.
Excellent service from Billy, he competently fixed the flue issues I was having with my boiler. He also had great communication responding promptly to any messages and came round within a more than reasonable time frame which is hard to come by these days. Highly recommend!
Excellent. Billy and his team‘s is very professional. Prompt communications. I requested an annual boiler maintenance service but he checked all my radiators as well. They even had their shoes cover when coming to my house. So detailed and considerate. Good price. Highly recommened.
Fast, thorough and professional service - would recommend and use again
Reliable, helpful, knowledgable. Always the first plumbers I call. Nothing is too much trouble.
Had no hot water pressure and the problem was fixed 10 minutes after they arrived, a piece of plastic was lodged deep in the pipe work. Brilliant and efficient
Used Billy's services once again for annual combi-boiler service. Great service + reasonable rates. Prompt service.
Very friendly and was very professional couldnt fault the service we received
Bill and his brother did an outstanding job when our old boiler broke earlier this year. They responded promptly and professionally, coming to inspect and replace the boiler even on weekends. We are very happy with their service and would highly recommend them.
Bill was with us within half an hour of phoning for help. Did an excellent job,diagnosing the problem, finding a replacement part and had the system up and running quickly. Many thanks
Bill and his colleague have consistently provided me with a fantastic service for the past couple of years. Bill has carried out multiple boiler services and assisted with other general enquiries. Always on time, and with a courtesy call beforehand to let me know he’s on the way, Bill delivers a stress free service at very reasonable costs, and is always willing to provide guidance and recommendations to go the extra mile. For anyone looking for a business they can rely on for their central heating needs, I can’t recommend Bill/Comfy Heating more highly.
Bill seemed very genuine and helpful to ensure our underfloor heating was set up the best possible way as our house was feeling cold. The house is much warmer now. Simple, efficient and very knowledgeable - really recommend!
Comfy Heating and Plumbing were the only company who returned my call to service a gas fire. They arrived on time, showed a good professional knowledge and did an efficient and effective service. I am really pleased to have discovered their existence and will certainly use them again. I have no hesitation in recommending them. A top class company in my opinion.
Great guys, arrived when they said, did a thorough job and took care with their work.
Easy to book and the team arrived promptly at the agreed time. The work to cap off a gas hob and remove all associated piping was completed very efficiently and the necessary certification was provided shortly after. Billy and his colleague were both very courteous at all times. Very satisfied and will definitely use Comfy Heating & Plumbing again.
A pleasure to deal with and great service. We used comfy heating and plumbing to repair an issue with the water tank and they provided an excellent service from start to finish. So much so we asked them to come back and upgrade our heating to a smart system. I can Highly recommend them.
I have used Comfy heating and Billy for around 5 years through different companies, Billy is courteous, professional and trustworthy. I have referred him to friends and family and they have always been impressed with his service. Highly recommend.
Definitely recommend! Great service, fast to respond, friendly and very helpful.
Bill investigated a leak from our hot water boiler. He was very careful not to cause a flood and carried out his work quickly and to a very high standard. He was punctual and pleasant, even phoning ahead to let me know when he would arrive. I will definitely use Comfy Heating for any plumbing and heating needs and would recommend them highly.

Been using Comfy Heating for a good few years now and they have always been efficient, helpful and honest! Bill is always happy to help and his prices are reasonable too! Will continue to call Bill whenever I need gas/plumbing assistance in the future.
Billy and his colleague were very friendly and helpful. They serviced our boiler, and checked the gas cooker and radiators. They were thorough and did a great job. Very reasonably priced and arrived exactly when stated. I would definitely recommend.
Great service overall! I initially wanted a standard boiler service but luckily Billy detected a small leak I hadn’t noticed and probably wouldn’t have done for a while. He managed to get the leak (non urgent) sorted the following week. The work was explained and carried out efficiently plus the area was left tidy. He turned up on time and was very professional inline with COVID restrictions (mask, etc). I would highly recommend!
Nice guy, very clean, efficient and knowledgable. Would recommend and use again.
I have used Billy's service several times now including gas safety inspection, boiler service and installation of thermostat. Billy has been very professional , knowledable and polite. He always calls before he arrives on time, and he finishes the work in a very clean way. I would definately use his service again and I highly recommend it.
Serviced our boiler, prompt & professional would recommend
This company is very professional. Billy is easy to contact, come on time and very helpful. I have used this company twice and won t hesitate to use them again.
We had a broken valve due to which heating wasn't working. Bill was informed on the night, and came in the next morning and fixed it promptly. Great service!
Good service. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Will definitely use him again.
Bill replied to my telephone call very promptly and arranged to come the next day to sort out our gas fire. He telephoned to say he was on his way and he sorted out our problem. We are very grateful for amazing service. . We will recommend him to friends.
Bill was very efficient and Covid conscientious. I’d definitely recommend him or use his services again! Thanks for your help! Stacey
Earlier in the year the manufacturer had supplied a faulty replacement part for our boiler. We were delighted with how thoroughly, and quickly, Billy obtained a replacement part and fitted it in the boiler under his 12 months guarantee. Despite our offering to contribute to his costs, he refused to take any money.
Excellent service
Billy did an annual boiler service, he ensured that the radiators did not have any air trapped, took time and made sure that everything was in order , some good tips, and local to Earley.
Bill was good and very prompt in attending to my work . Happy with his work . I will recommend Bill definitely .
I have used comfy heating and plumbing on 3 occasions and each time Billy has been professional, thorough and friendly. Always keeps things tidy and explains everything clearly with useful tips for any aftercare or monitoring. Will definitely be using comfy for all my boiler and plumbing needs!
I have used Comfy Heating twice and on both occasions he has been tidy and quick to provide service on time.
Billy came in to do the boiler service this morning, got on with the job, checked and explained everything. His charges are also resonable and I will be using him for all plumbing and boiler needs.
I got two bathroom sink taps replaced. The job was done quickly and was of high quality.
