I cannot fault the service I have received from Paul. I was given a quote on what Paul thought the issue with my boiler was from the description I gave, once he arrived to fix the boiler and found out it was not the issue and the part he had ordered was not reaquired my bill was adjusted. Very trustworthy and the communication is excellent. Paul was recommended to me and I would highly recommend Paul.
Great experience from start to finish. Friendly, reliable, and kept me informed throughout. Really appreciate the honest advice and would happily recommend.
Great service and really good quality work, came when promised and finished the job really well, wouldn't hesitate to recommend them
Paul was originally recommended to me by a builder doing some work on my house to assist with a specific issue that was identified as part of that project. Since then, I have used Paul for a number of years in my existing home to service my boiler and he has also recently squeezed in a system check and boiler service at a property we are hoping to move to. He is always responsive, efficient, honest, works to a high standard and is competitively priced.
Paul Howard was professional, good humoured and did the job we needed.
I highly recommend Howard Heating Plumbing Ltd. Their engineers are experienced and skilled, consistently attending appointments on time. They are a reliable company that you can trust for all your boiler and plumbing need.
I have used these guys a few times, for both work at a rental property I own, and my own house. Always top notch service. Reliable, attention to detail, knowledgeable and everything is always left clean and tidy. Their work is priced fairly and transparently, too. Highly recommend them.
Paul has just completed the 3rd annual service to our Vaillant boiler, that he installed three years ago. As usual Paul arrived on time and the work was carried out very efficiently at reasonable cost. I highly recommend Howard Heating & Plumbing Ltd.
Used this company after our gas was shut off due to a gas leak Very helpful with all messages replied to quickly and given an accurate quote Work completed in the time stated and tidied up after Would highly recommend
Excellent service from Paul's team. Andy put in an outside tap for us today. He was polite friendly and tidy. Very happy customer.
Paul recently serviced our boiler and has now just replaced our electric shower that was past its best! Excellent service on both occasions!
If Carlsberg did boilers! Paul, Andy and Adam replaced and re-sited a new boiler for us. Throughout they were polite, professional and knowledgeable. They were always punctual, responsive and respectful and nice guys too. The finished job looked neat, clean and very professional. Highly recommended without hesitation
A professional, friendly, trustworthy and efficient service. Paul and co have undertaken a yearly service of my boiler since it was installed 10 years ago, including gas safety checks and certificates. Thoroughly recommended.
I've been using Howard Heating and Plumbing for several years and always found them to be reliable and quick to respond in an emergency. A friendly efficient service.
Paul Howard is conscientious. He services my boiler annually and sends all the relevant checks by email that he has carried out. I can go to Paul with any queries whether he has an appointment or not. No job is too small. He's always on time and competitively priced. I would highly recommend Paul.
Excellent speedy service by Paul and his team this morning. Very professional, polite and left the property spotlessly clean. Would highly recommend to friends and family.
Prompt response. Leak fixed in the same visit.
Quick, efficient and professional.
Great service, efficient and friendly.
Paul is friendly, courteous and thoroughly efficient. He provides a top class service. I recommend him unreservedly.
Paul Howard and his team have done several jobs for us in recent years, including our annual boiler service. They are always proficient, on time, sensibly priced and pleasant to talk to.
Paul and his team did a fantastic job installing a brand new boiler in our kitchen including converting the system to a combi setup and removal of the hot water tank. Great communication throughout and Paul and team worked tirelessly to complete the job in one day. The kitchen was spotless by the end, a very efficient service and I will definitely be using Paul for any plumbing needs that crop up in the future.
Paul installed my boiler several years ago and we have used him ever since. His comms is always good which is so rare with trades people. And he is always approachable for plumbing related advice. Highly recommend him.
Paul is a highly skilled professional who can be relied upon to carry out a thorough and complete job. I have employed him to install a complex multi-zoned central heating system with system boiler and unvented water cylinder which works perfectly. He now carries out the annual service.
First Class - Clean - Efficient - Friendly excellent communications - HIGHLY Recommend
Had a problem with radiators not getting hot and boiler making strange noises and cutting out. Called Paul who immediately suggested some ideas to get me going until he could attend. Called at my house 7:30am next morning on his way to his first job of the day to properly asses my situation. Quoted me that evening and managed to fit me in soon afterwards. Carried out the work and showed me the parts / blocked pipe work that was causing the problem. Job done. Very impressed with work ethic and attitude
Happy with service provided. Gave good advice initially before coming to site, and was able to resolve the pump issue swiftly when with us.
I am really pleased with the work completed by Paul. He was able to quickly resolve our heating and hot water issues as well as servicing the boiler. I will definitely use him again in the future.
Excellent communication and prompt service as quoted.
I cannot recommend Paul and his team enough, they came and fixed two toilets. The work was done to a high standard, and they were incredibly professional. I have been having issues with my heating and although they had not booked to help with the heating took the time out to check all my radiators and boiler and gave some great advice (which has worked). I will defiantly be using these guys for all my gas and plumbing! Thanks again
Paul did an excellent job and we would thoroughly recommend his services to any one. He was prompt, very tidy and his attention to detail was very good. Communication throughout excellent.
I would recommend Paul for boiler service and repairs. He provides a prompt and reliable service, backed up with the necessary documentation.
Boiler serviced. Friendly and professional.
Very pleased with the way that Paul went about the annual service on our boiler. Happy to have booked him in for next year.
Great service, reliable and consistent :)
Paul quickly and effectively diagnosed the problem with our condensing boiler and suggested options for rectifying it. The first one he suggested worked. Excellent service.
Excellent service highly recommended
Reliable, trustworthy and does an excellent job. No need to shop around, you've already found the best man for the job.
The Team at Howard Heating & Plumbing is excellent. They replaced our stopcock and fixed our dripping shower. It took us a while to find someone willing to sort these issues for us. They were very friendly and efficient. We would use their services again.
Paul and his team installed our new boiler in September last year, and the time has come for the annual service. Once again, this was carried out in a most efficient manner from booking the appointment to carrying out the service and finally issuing the certificates. All was left spotless and I have no hesitation in recommending Howard Heating & Plumbing Ltd.
Absoluty brilliant, great service with a smile.
Highly recommend, good communication and attention to detail.
Fantastic job on my replacement shower from Paul and Andy. Great communication and service. Would highly recommend
Paul and Andy installed a new boiler for us. They did a great job, were helpful and professional from start to finish, and left the house clean and tidy. Paul is always quick to respond to messages. We would highly recommend them.
Paul has helped us with our plumbing and heating needs for several years already, we value his services. Always neat, efficient and helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend Paul Howard's services.
Looking for a reliable, trustworthy, honest plumber can be difficult, because you never know if reviews are real, accurate, etc. Look no further, Howard Heating & Plumbing is the real deal! So helpful going above and beyond, even helping me after hours getting my boiler working again. Strongly recommend, you won't be disappointed
Excellent service, their work was carried out to a high standard, and they clearly explained what needed ti be done. I would thoroughly recommend them.
We had a small leak in our hall upstairs which was slowly seeping into our downstairs ceiling. We struggled to find where the leak was and called Paul for help. He and Andy swiftly resolved the leak by taking up the floorboards upstairs and identifying the suspect pipe . They took all the stress away! Thank you very much!
Very professional. Arrived on time, did a great job, clean and tidy on completion and at a reasonable cost. Highly recommended.
Paul fitted the boiler five years ago and has serviced it ever since. It's run very well. There is sense of professionalism, good communications and punctuality.
Paul is totally reliable & professional and explains everything clearly, so that you know exactly what the issue is. I have no problem recommending Paul to others.
Fantastic service provided by Paul for our annual boiler service. Very trustworthy and knowledgeable. Always leaves everything clean and tidy after the work has been completed.
Excellent repair of the boiler and the upstairs bathroom. Professional, easy to contact and got the job done.
We had no hot water due to an issue with our boiler. Reached out to Paul who before coming out to do the job, tried to help us to get hot water in the interim. He then came out a couple days later to sort our boiler - great job done and brilliant service!! Highly recommended!
Paul from Howard plumbing installed new Vaillant boiler to replace our 18 year old one that was failing. Managed to get to us quickly and assess and do the quote and install within the week. Having used Paul before am pleased to say he continued to give a good professional service. would recommend.
This company are my go to for any plumbing/gas issues -faulty gas fire this time, called up, availability the next day where the issue was fixed, highly recommend.
Had various jobs completed by Paul and they are always completed to a great standard. Very helpful - would highly recommend.
Paul at Howard heating was amazing to get back to us about our query with speed and professionalism. Even on a Sunday evening! For that we are extremely grateful. Would think of them again for the next big job.
Once again Paul carried out an excellent service on the boiler. Would highly recommend his work and knowledge.
I have used Paul for number of years, today he came completed a full service on the home boiler. Came in with overshoes and at all times respected our home, clearly explained what he was doing, parts to be replaced, resulting in a full cleanup internally and fully tested. After completion he answered some questions and provided some advice leaving everything clean and tidy. Reliable, polite and respectful, not sure I can say that about many others used in the past. Call him, Good man and great job.
Work carried out quickly and efficiently to a very high standard. Would highly recommend.
Very impressed how work was carried out quickly and to high standard.
Paul and his colleague came prepared with the necessary parts to fix my 25 year old boiler, he assessed it and determined it was in good condition for its age and that it just needed the circuit board replaced and a good clean. The work was done there on the spot, quickly, efficiently, and with no mess, he also then certified the boiler for safety too. I was extremely pleased with his communication before hand and what he thought would be needed. Thanks Paul!
Paul serviced our boiler. He arrived on time, was clean/tidy, happy to answer any questions and also good pricing. Would highly recommend 👍🏻
Best local plumber! Reliable, friendly, clean and honest! Always contacts us when it’s time for a boiler service so we don’t have to remember!
I have used Paul for several jobs over the past couple of years. He is professional, reliable always does a great job, can’t recommend highly enough.
Paul has serviced our boiler a few times. Always arrives on time, great pricing and does a great job. Would recommend.
One of the coldest days of the year for the heating to break. Paul came out within 30 minutes, identified and fixed the issue. Fantastic customer service - a very grateful family this evening! Highly recommend.
Paul and Andy responded very quickly when I had a kitchen tap disaster with water spraying everywhere. They changed the tap quickly, were very pleasant and communication was super clear. They wore shoe covers in the house to protect floors which is not something all trades do. Very pleased and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone who needs a top rate plumbing service. Thank you!
Ticks every box. Nuff said.
Previously used to service and repair boiler and more recently came to my rescue with a leaking mains supply pipe. Responsive, friendly, reliable (turned up on time, every time) and very professional. They take time to clearly explain what they need to do and why, even showing the faulty parts. Couldn't be more pleased with their service, highly recommend.
Paul literally saved our Christmas by fixing our heating at very short notice today. He was expert and professional, giving clear info about options and costs, and helpful answers to general queries. I definitely recommend the business.
I’ve been very happy with the boiler service again - many thanks indeed
Paul installed a new boiler and hot water cylinder today. He moved other appointments around so he could do this job before I go on holiday. Paul is always friendly and helpful, and gives good advice. Competitive prices too. Paul always tries to help, over WhatsApp, even when he doesn’t have time to come out to he property. I would definitely recommend.
Excellent service and initial remote support. Would highly recommend.
Very reliable and knowledgable. Responds very promptly to requests for help. Ensured he supplied all the appropriate information to keep my boiler log uptodate. Best boiler service I have every had
Paul provides an excellent boiler service ever year with helpful information on non related boiler issues.
Called around 5 or 6 plumbers in the Reading area for an emergency after coming home from a holiday to a broken boiler. Paul was the only one who actually advised over the phone fixes we could try ourselves in the meantime (which worked!) until he was able to come round and check. Really great service, absolutely recommend.
Issue with an old system's fill loop occurred during appreciatively busy week of Paul's year. Great communication before during and after, quoted and explained and after invoiced the expected amount promptly. Paul and Andy were punctual, friendly, did the necessary, fixed the issue, performed a service as desired and left the place clean and tidy. No complaints, no dramas, would recommend and will re-use
I have used Howard Heating & Plumbing services for nearly 8 years. Paul repaired my old boiler in my old home and then serviced it for 4 years (there were no issues after the repair). In my new home home, Paul installed a complete new central heating system, boiler and water tank. He services the boiler every year and there have been no issues over the past 4 years. I should add that Paul has always kept to agreed date/time, carried out the work that was agreed and never charged more than the pre-agreed quote/price.
Had my boiler serviced for the first time and Paul and his team were really efficient and gave a 5* service. Really quick and helpful. Will definitely be using him again and recommending to family and friends. Thankyou Paul 👍🏻
Paul serviced my Vaillant boiler. He was quick and efficient and charged a fair price. His follow-up documentation was also comprehensive and was sent immediately after the visit. All very impressive.
Fantastic job and customer service from Paul and Andy with the recent installation of our replacement boiler and radiator valves. Recommended to us by friends and they fully lived up to their reputation of being very experienced, helpful, efficient and tidy. Excellent work and we will be very happy for Howard Heating & Plumbing Ltd to take over our servicing going forward. Thank you!
Diagnosed the problem and replaced the part Within a day.
I’ve used Howard Heating and Plumbing many times now and always really pleased with the service. Boiler serviced many times and a number of plumbing and heating issues fixed.
Paul has serviced my boiler before and always been helpful. This time round I called him because my hot water had stopped working. He was able to diagnose the problem over the phone and was kind enough to squeeze a visit in the next day where he fixed the problem quickly. He is always on time, knowledgeable and tidy. Excellent service.
Paul has serviced my boiler for a couple of years now after helping me leave one of the big name providers. I trust him implicitly.
My boiler recently left me without heating. Paul managed to fit me into his busy schedule , initially giving possible suggestions and diagnosis over the phone. This was followed by visit, sourcing and fitting of new gas valve. Boiler was cleaned and serviced, and I was also advised on replacement boilers. Excellent service, polite and knowledgeable, clean worker. Recommend 100%!
When the company who previously serviced my heating appeared to cause an issue and would not come out to investigate (but were happy to quote for an - as it turned out - unnecessary and much more costly repair), we contacted Howard Heating who attended promptly and rectified the issue. We plan to go with Paul for our servicing from now on!
Paul has been maintaining and certifying my boilers for 4 years. I always find his approach professional and friendly.
Annual boiler service - 1st time using. Was very prompt in responding to request, arrived as per agreed timing and was efficient and pleasant to deal with. All positive!!
Paul and Andy came round to service our boiler and helped with a couple of other issues at the same time. They were friendly and professional, and we wouldn't hesitate to call on them again for assistance. Highly recommended!

Paul and his team did an amazing job, removing an ancient boiler and putting a new one in a different place, removing the old water tanks and cylinder, all in one day. Paul is an excellent communicator and replies very promptly to texts and emails and answered all my questions the same day. They were clean, fast and the work was of an excellent standard. I'd recommend them to all of my friends and family

Paul installed our boiler last year and it was a big job but carried out very efficiently.
