Customers of B.Nicholls Plumbing and Heating Ltd repeatedly mention Barry by name and describe him as professional, friendly and tidy. Several reviewers report boiler servicing and boiler repairs, with one saying a leak was found and fixed during a service. One reviewer describes a system-to-combi boiler conversion in an old house, and another reports a complex gas heating installation and a wet room in an annexe. Reviewers also mention fixing a leak under a floor, upgrading radiators, and tracing a persistent water leak that turned out to come from next door's property. Communication is described as clear and prompt, including text messages with an arrival time.
If you need any plumbing work done, look nowhere else! Barry IS THE MAN for the job, big or small. He completed a system to combi boiler conversion in our old house and in extreme heat. When quoting, he took the time to understand our needs and future plans, explain what was involved and was very accommodating around payment timescales as well as small ad hoc requests during the job, that were not originally agreed. I have already booked Barry for further work, and him and his team worked hard to accommodate the job at short notice due to it being a priority (for us of course, not him but that didn’t stop him and his team getting us booked in quickly)! Barry is trustworthy, professional, courteous and friendly, everything you’d want in a tradesperson. The job was completed to a platinum standard and I trust there will be no issues - and if there were I have full confidence Barry will resolve it speedily and hassle free. Go with Barry and you can’t go wrong! Thanks so much and we look forward to having hot baths and showers and a warm house in winter for years to come.
Barry came out to service the boiler and did a fantastic job, he also found a leak and fixed it immediately! Lovely guy with great communication skills, timely, economically sound and friendly with it, even though weather was 30 degrees ! Definitely would use the services he provides in the future. Thank you so much !
Barry is extremely sufficient and tidy with his work. Very reliable and loves a good coffee! He came to me for a boiler breakdown and he was able to diagnose and repair it. From the outcome and expression of how Barry works it showed very clearly he knew what he was doing and an expert with boilers. He was very knowledgeable and it was clear he knew what he was doing. He comes across as smart , presentable and trustworthy. The whole experience was as good as you can get , I highly recommend!!
Barry was absolutely brilliant, work carried out very professionally and very reasonable.
Absolutely fantastic job. The work completed on our annexe was far from straightforward, involving a complex gas heating installation alongside fitting a beautiful wet room, and everything was carried out to an exceptionally high standard. Barry is incredibly knowledgeable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a skilled and trustworthy gas engineer.
Really happy with the boiler service carried out. Great company to deal with, will use again happily. Communications were excellent at every step - really good people to deal with. Professional and pleasant!
I can't recommend Barry highly enough. Following some boiler issues in the run up to Christmas, he was incredibly reactive and did whatever was necessary to diagnose and fix the problem. He clearly has a solid knowledge and bags of relevant experience to get to the answers quickly. In addition, the communication is fantastic. Text and emails confirming when appointments are made, his likely ETA etc. and so there is no hanging around as you know exactly when he will be there. All this and his charges are competitive as well.
Barry is brilliant and very professional. He came to the rescue for my dad as he had no heating or hot water. He has today installed a new boiler and has been patient with me trying to set up hive on my phone!!! An absolute outstanding man. Thank you ❤️
Barry is professional, reliable and honest and I wont use any other plumber or heating engineer now. He always goes above and beyond with fair pricing. 100% recommend.
Barry has done some fantastic work for us recently, including diagnosing and fixing a leak under the floor, upgrading radiators, and fault finding a weird problem with our boiler. Barry is professional, friendly and helpful. Work is carried out to a brilliant standard, Barry is neat and tidy, punctual, and very reasonably priced. I'd recommend Barry 100%, with no reservations whatsoever.
B. Nicholls recently did a boiler service for my house, he turned up on time (I even got a text in the morning giving me an ETA which was a nice touch) and was very professional and knowledgeable. He advised me of the condition of the boiler and sent all certificates across on the day, all at a very reasonable price. Thoroughly recommended!
Barry’s attention to detail is second to none which I feel is vitally important when poking around my gas boiler! He was thorough and patient, fully explaining the work that was needed. All of Barry’s communication was prompt and clear. His quote was reasonable and fully explained. He turned up on time, worked hard, did a neat job and left the place spotless. He seemed like a nice guy over all too, making time to fit in work that was urgently needed at my property. Cannot recommend highly enough. Top job!
Rang Barry this morning (listed on WaterSafe site). He came out within an hour and painstakingly searched for what has been a persistent, but unidentified water leak. Eventually it turned out to be from next door's property. He followed that saga right through to the negotiation with the neighbour's landlord and Agent, found the leak and fixed it. I cannot praise him highly enough. Not only is is calm and thorough, he is also charming; in short a genuinely decent bloke! I can now sleep at night, without dreaming of having to launch a boat.
