Vic was simply brilliant. So knowledgable and gave some really good advice as to what was needed in our house. Really professional and nothing was too much trouble. Would thoroughly recommend Afterglow Plumbing and Heating. Will definitely use again
Fantastic service by Afterglow Plumbing. I had a great price to fit all new radiators and brand new boiler in my bungalow on short notice. Vic was very thorough in his quote and completed the whole job to a very very high standard. Vic & son are a fantastic team and worked quietly and neatly in my home. Cannot recommend them enough. Highly trustworthy
We’ve used Afterglow for small repairs in the past but recently we had a new boiler installed and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. Communication was quick and clear and everything was completed on time as promised. Pricing is competitive compared to other quotes but the level service really stands out. Everything was also left clean and tidy, which was much appreciated. Overall, a reliable, professional family run service that delivers both quality and value. Definitely the choice for anyone looking for a trustworthy installer
Excellent. Very efficient. Responded really quickly and very pleasant. Highly recommend
Vic changed a tap for me. All went smoothly and he was a great communicator and got on with the job. I’ve already booked him for another job! Highly recommended
Afterglow installed a new boiler for me a few years ago and I was really impressed with their work. Since then, I've always chosen them to service the boiler and do my gas safety certificates. Vic is friendly and very professional and always responds quickly to me and my tenants.. I highly recommend this company!
Amazing service they replaced our boiler and just serviced it aswell very professional top standard carrying out work. Would highly recommend to anyone and will continue using them in the future.
Brilliant service, can’t fault Afterglow at all. Came quickly from when made contact and were on time and efficient. Both were very helpful, friendly and tidy. Would highly recommend and would use again without doubt.
Vic and his apprentice (also called Vic) recently installed a brand new Worcester Bosch 8000+ 32kW Combi boiler, flue and controller and replaced all the radiators throughout my house. Their standard of work is impeccable and they're both friendly and very professional. I'm so glad I chose them and highly recommend them to anybody who needs great plumbers that are a BIG cut above the rest! 💯
Had our new boiler installed recently, and I’m really happy with the whole experience. The engineers were professional, explained clearly how everything works, they made sure the system was set up properly before they left. Everything has been working perfectly since, and the house is lovely and warm. Truly recommend them for a reliable and smooth service.
Used Afterglow a few times for frozen pipe repair and general boiler service. Just had new radiators throughout the house. Work was professional and quick. The lads worked very cleanly and left no mess. Did a great job, very happy! 👍
I don't normally do reviews, but because I was so impressed with the work done, I thought I would give it a go. Thank you Vic & son for installing a new central heating boiler at such short notice, very much appreciated, can't praise you enough for all the work you did, you were absolutely brilliant. I shall definitely be contacting you when the annual service is due. Also I would like to say that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to others. Once again many thanks
Good service and positive experience. No call-out charge, no hidden fees.
Great service. Very thorough and professional. 2nd time we have used Afterglow and will continue to do so
Vic came to fit a new stop cock and kitchen taps for my elderly mother today. He was so friendly and completed the job quickly and efficiently. He made my mother at ease with his cheerful manner and we will definitely be using him again for all of our plumbing needs. Can highly recommend .
I'd been let down by another Gas engineer numerous times. Contacted Vic and he got me booked in. There was a problem on the day with another job he was doing but he kept me informed and arranged to come that evening instead. Excellent service and can thoroughly recommend !!
Great service provided, really efficient + attention to detail and super customer service.
Excellent service, tidied up afterwards. All work done in a professional manner and assistance setting up new heating controls. Outstanding. Highly recommended 😎
called to fix a leaky rad valve, Vic did that and more, great service, thanks!
Outstanding from start to finish! Replied within every hour of when I sent a message. My grandparents wanted a new Worcester Bosch boiler and the service was exemplary. Quote was the cheapest out of boxt and Iheat - so that was more than efficient. Vic and his son are highly recommended as the job was completed before the estimated time was given; they tidied and vacuumed after the boiler had been fitted. I had a few problems with getting used to the controls and vic was happy to talk me through it. Should I require a new boiler in the future or know of anyone I will be sure to use again.
As always Vic did a great job. He responded really quickly to my request to fix my leaking boiler. Managing to fit me in at his busiest time of the year. I highly recommend Vic and wouldn’t use anybody else .
I have been using Vic and his son to carry out central heating service work for me for the last 4 years.i have found that his workmanship is to the highest standard and has got to be the best in the business . Will definitely continue to book him to service the boiler next year.
Brilliant service again from Vic and the team!! We had no heating and after our call he came out after within the hour, diagnosed a faulty valve, ordered from Screwfix and up and running with a further hour. At the same time serviced our boiler which was due next month so a massive 2way win 🏆.
Really happy with Afterglow. Our old boiler had given up the ghost. Vic came out to quote for us really quickly and was able to install the new boiler the next week. He came out on a weekend as well which we really appreciated. We are delighted with the new boiler. Vic is reliable, knowledgeable & tidy. Thank you so much!
Highly recommend afterglow plumbing very professional sorted the leak on my boiler in no time even showed me the part that had broke 👍
Really happy with this company my grandads boiler broke on the Thursday he came out the next day to look at it and was fixed by the Sunday in one day amazing service and really friendly couldn’t appreciate it anymore thank you so much highly recommended from myself and my family
Vic and team came highly recommended to me from a friend. Our boiler was broken beyond repair and Vic helped us choose the right option for us, installing a new boiler quickly, they're friendly, trustworthy, do what they say they will and even go the extra mile to keep your house clean and tidy. We use them every year now for the service and even other odd jobs for plumbing. Would not hesitate to recommend.
Excellent and helpful workers Removed all old boiler and rubbish and tidied up after Highly recommend
I'm super happy with the service provided by Afterglow Heating Ltd. Victor, the heating engineer, guided me through every step of installing my new central heating system. He patiently explained all the options, making sure I understood everything. During the installation, he kept everything clean and tidy, and the attention to detail was impressive. I highly recommend them for anyone needing heating services. Thanks to them, I now have a top-notch heating system and a hassle-free experience!
Vic and his team did a fantastic job with our new boiler installation. Very happy with the service provided. Professional, reliable and great communication throughout. Wouldn't hesitate to contact Vic again. Highly recommended!
Our boiler broke Sunday night at 1am when it was -1 degree outside. My partner and I have an 8 months old baby and the house was cooling down quite rapidly. Called Vic on Monday and he initially said that he couldn’t do a boiler replacement until Wednesday. However, he called me back about an hour later and had managed to move all his other jobs and prioritised our boiler replacement for Tuesday which my partner and I appreciated greatly. Vic was punctual, polite and tidy and the work was spot on. Highly recommend his service. Thanks again
Vic was very thorough a big thanks
I’ve just had my boiler replaced with Vic at Afterglow. I’d highly recommend him to anyone. Communication was great and he answered any questions I had so I understood all my options. When the work was carried out he was really careful to keep doors closed so my indoor cat couldn’t escape, which was much appreciated. All mess was cleared up, which was again much appreciated. Very friendly, helpful, professional and all round lovely guy!
Excellent service! Afterglow went above and beyond to make sure I got the best outcome and even recommended I go direct to the boiler manufacturer but they couldn’t help so Afterglow came back and fixed the problem, gave it a service and it’s now working better than ever. Lovely guys. Highly recommend!
When we realised it was time to get our boiler serviced, I emailed about 4 or 5 companies I found on the Baxi website. Afterglow was one of only two companies who got back to me. Vic replied almost immediately and told me they had a slot the very same week. He came today and serviced our boiler, can't thank him enough.. great communication, super efficient, friendly and professional. Will be using again for sure 100% recommend. Thank you Vic.
My boiler started playing up I phoned after glow plumbing. I have used afterglow plumbing for many years now. Vick said that he was working just a few miles away. And would come round to have a look. He fixed the problem on the boiler. Also did the service on the boiler which was due. All in all fantastic service by a professional company.
Vic was very quick to reply to messages. Once booked he turned up on time and was very clean and professional when working. We would definitely use him again.
Called Vic as my boiler stopped working, luckily he was in my area and said he would pass by to see if he can get it fired up. Unfortunately he found that my boiler needed a few parts which I suspected having never had it serviced in 14 years. Vic offered to order the parts and book me in, however I opted for new boiler install rather than keep replacing parts. Within an hour of him leaving I had an official itemised quote at a very reasonable price. Having accepted the quote my install was booked in 2 days later. Vic arrived on time and finished the job to a high standard, on time and on budget with absolutely zero issues. Would 100% recommend, professional, reliable and great price. Thank you for everything.
Thankyou so much for sorting out are boiler today. Vic came out of his way to make sure we got our heating working again he made sure he would fit us in today. Very quick service reliable and friendly thankyou!

Vic installed A New Boiler He was very Professional At His Job Excellent Engineer Freindly And Will Definitely Use Him Again.
Vic is the most honest heating engineer I have used. Have recommended him to many other people. Wouldn't go anywhere else
Afterglow helped me to install a new cylinder in my apartment in Birmingham City Centre. When I first contact Vic, he diagnosed my issue over the phone call straight away. In addition to this, Vic arrived on time and got to work without delay and also clean & tidy up in the end of his job. I would defo recommend Vic to everyone ! Excellent work and very professional.
Great gob very friendly and informative would thoroughly recommend and likes coffee
Called afterglow to come and change a stop tap on the recommendation of Severn Trent. The gentlemen arrived on time and got to work without delay. In addition to this, he resolved another issue with the toilet flush and the kitchen tap without extra charge. Seriously cannot recommend this man highly enough, excellent work and very reliable and job done to a very high standard.
Vic installed a worcester bosch boiler for me 2 years ago. He told me he would put the job through Boxt as it would work out cheaper. Great. He proposed the job would take 2 days. On the day he brought somone elses apprentice and another man and said it would be a day. I was told around 3pm the work was finished so came back home. The apprentice said to vic what about the valves upstairs and vic said it would be ok. Few days later a valve upstairs leaked and vic came to repair. He told me they were old and I shouldn't touch them. Why weren't these replaced at the time? I asked how much to replace and he told me a price so I said I would be in touch. Few months later and vic is not interested in coming back to replace and said he will see me for the boiler service. I have never heard from him since. I was told by a subsequent plumber the boiler should according to regulations have an isolator switch, and without this the WB warranty may not be vaild, so I have recently needed to contact Boxt separately to come out to fit one and also have the outside flue adjusted to be flush with the wall. Not very good customer service.
The engineer made no offer to do the job. He said he was too busy
New Boiler fitted. Excellent service and went above and beyond by cleaning out existing radiators. Very professional and would highly recommend.
Very happy! website easy to use and book an appointment. good communication before hand. arrived early and sent me my certificate by email before he left. id definitely recommend Vic to anyone
I had a new tap installed and I am very happy about the job Vic has done - Very professional and neat. The nicest and smartest plumber I've ever used. have already recommend to my friend and they are very satisfied too.
Afterglow were the 3rd company we had over to quote for our new central heating and after they came round to have a look we knew they were who we wanted to go with. Our house had storage heaters so we knew there would be some upheaval to fit a whole new system from scratch but I was amazed at how little mess was made. In two rooms upstairs the other two firms who quoted had said that the laminate flooring would all have to come up and would need to be re done but Afterglow installed everything without taking up any of the floor which has saved us money as well as mess. I will be using this firm for all relative work on my house in the future really efficient and professional service. Not a bad word to say
Excellent service. Very pleased with the service and help. Very reliable and efficient. Would definitely use them again.
Quick and efficient service. Very pleased. Would highly recommend them.
Fitted a new boiler for us the other day, very happy with the work carried out +++++
great service, good price, great workmanship. I needed a new boiler and Alfterglow have been professional in every aspect from the original phone call, to quote, tidyness and workmanship. would recomend these guys. 5* rating
Prompt reply to email of problem then sent message giving time of turning up. Engineer (Vic Mullan) turned up on time was quick efficient and solved boiler issue. Also was curtious and cleaned up on completing job. Would definitely use them again.
Arrived on time did everything he said he going to do.Did all the necessary checks good customer relations would recommend
Excellent plumbing service - friendly and professional, easy to book an appointment, arrived on time and completed the job (changing bathroom taps & fixing the loo) quickly to a high standard. Highly recommend!
I've just had a new combi boiler fitted by Vic, as others have said Vic is a credit to the trade, great communication, quick and professional installation, came when he said he would and I now have a new working boiler, couldn't be happier. I would absolutely recommend him in the future.
Best guy in the trade I've ever used. Honest, clear, efficient and a lovely bloke. What more could you ask for?!
Had a new boiler fitted today by Vic and his team. Excellent service from start to finish. Responded with a quote within 30 mins Brilliant communication throughout Via emails and messages Arrived on time as arranged No hassle, no mess. Lovely guys Cheaper than a very well known gas supplier and with better customer service Would highly recommend
Can't fault the experience. New boiler fitted and system cleaned / tested in a matter of hours. No hassle. No mess. Excellent Price. Vic's your bloke!
Needed a plumber urgently because of a burst pipe. Vic came out immediately, the work he did was extremely neat and also really reasonable priced. Will defiantly use Vic again.
Top man! I'm with British gas homecare plan and due to snow they were extremely busy and not answering my calls. I called afterglow and after a brief chat and some perfect advice I knew what was wrong and fixed within 5 mins. Thank you
Great service, courteous and speedy. Would recommend highly and will use again.
Superb. We experienced a gas leak and after glow were able to fit us into their busy schedule at extremely short notice. Excellent service- highly recommend!
The best around! Highly recommend
great experience from start to finish,highly recommend afterglow plumbing,came out at short notice and done a great job fixing my boiler I'd been having problems with.happy costumer🖒
Quick reliable and great price. Vic attended an emergency call out when my mum had a huge leak after the boiler broke, he stopped the leak and fixed the issue. We then got a great quote on replacing the boiler and he did a fantastic job, even cleaned every bit of mess up after him brilliant! We then had afterglow out again to install new radiators throughout all of upstairs, again turnt up on time done the job in the time given and great price - no faults at all which is why we always use Afterglow for any new work required. Thanks Vic, highly recommend Afterglow!!
Top class service all round, were quick and did a brilliant job, even fixed a dodgy door for me!
Knowledgable, friendly and professional, and gave good advice quickly to sort my boiler problem. Very happy to recommend Afterglow and Vic. :)
I called few numbers trying to get someone to set up our timer for the boiler in our new apartment as it did not have any brand name written on the control box and we do not have any manual for it either, Victor was really helpful as he posted a picture of the control box i sent him on a forum and he texted not long after the manual in pdf which like he suggested saved me money and time ! Thumbs-up !
Excellent work from quote stage through to completion of the job. Vic's quote was clear and well itemised. Once the work was started I found Vic to be very thorough and professional, work was started on the agreed day and was completed on time with the minimum of disruption to heating and water supply throughout. At the time of quoting Vic had a full work load which meant a waiting period before he could undertake the work I needed done - experiencing his workmanship I can understand why he is in demand. I made the right choice in waiting for him to be able to do the job and have no reservations about recommending him to family and friends. Thank you Vic for an excellent job.
Called Vic out to deal with a boiler problem at one of the rental properties we manage. Service was brilliant and the boiler was up and running again in no time.
Highly rated professional service, can not fault at all . Highly recommended
Very quick, hassle free and professional service from Vic. I was impressed.
Polite, professional and efficient. Can't recommend Vic highly enough. Afterglow came round to service our boiler - they were on time, did a thorough job and I'm very happy with the service and the price.
Used Afterglow for the second time yesterday to have a shower fitted after last year getting them to sort out some faulty electrics in my bathroom, and I have got to say they have done another blinding job. Not only did Vic do a great job with the shower he actually took the time out to clean up after which was brilliant. Would highly recommend these guys over anyone else out there.
