Reviews
4.8
R Dakin & Sons is described as professional, friendly and helpful, with reviewers often mentioning that staff arrive on time, work tidily and explain how to use newly installed equipment. Boiler servicing, boiler and hot water tank replacement, a combi boiler installation, a bathroom refit, shower installation and repairs to a waste pipe and leaking tap are among the jobs reported. One reviewer said a boiler service led to work on a diffuser that a competitor later said was unnecessary, costing them £250 more than it should have. Another reviewer praised Richard for looking after their elderly mother with care. Several reviewers recommend the firm and say they would use it again.
Have been using Dakin’s for years as did my parents before me. Consistently professional, friendly, and empathetic as well. They always arrive with a smile on their face and do an excellent job. No mess, exceedingly helpful, and great value for money. Go above and beyond to cater to my needs and I can’t praise them highly enough. Great team.

My experience with Dakin &Sons was excellent. They arrived on time. Were very polite at all times and respected my property. After they installed the boiler they explained how to operate it and also left me simple written instructions as I am not tech minded. Thank you.
Thanks again Richard for sending someone out so quickly to our small plumbing job. You have been a joy to deal with throughout.
I have used R Dakin & Sons several times over the last few years and always been happy so when I needed a new combi boiler installation it was an easy choice for me. Communication with Richard is excellent. They are always on time professional and friendly. Tom and Owen did a fantastic job replacing my old boiler. They are fast tidy workers and know exactly what they are doing. After installation everything was explained clearly to me on how to operate it. I couldn’t be happier and would definitely recommend this company. Prices are very fair to. Thank you to all the team.
We recently had our bathroom refitted by R Dakin & Sons for which we were very happy with. Richard helped with the requirements which were through a local supplier ensuring the order was right. While the whole bathroom was ripped out, they always made sure the toilet was available at the end of each day, the access through to the room was protected and kept clean. The level of workmanship is excellent, and having worked in the industry for many years it is great to see that people take great care and pride in what they do, the lads were also considerate and polite in what they did. I would definitely recommend them.
Second time having this wonderful company do repairs. Owen installed a new shower today, as usual polite, turned up on time, very tidy, explained everything, cant recommend these enough! Trustworthy to the core
Fantastic professional work repairing bathroom waste pipe. Tom and Owen were polite, very efficient and tidy. Everything was clearly explained, would highly recommend this company and definitley be choosing them again for future work on my house, thank you so much!
Superstars - this is second time that I have needed a plumber and Richard Dakin & Sons have not let us down! They respond promptly, keep you informed and arrive on time! They know what they are doing and do not mess about: fast, efficient and cost effective! The lad who came out went out of his way to close the water supply from the street as the drain/stop valve was under several inches of silt/mud. Thank you again R Dakin and Sons!
Exellent Service, Very Knowledgeable Heating Engineer, Quality Service, 100% recommend.
Richard looked after my elderly mother who had a leaking tap. He handled things with lots of understanding and care. Highly recommended.
First time we've used R Dakin & Sons for a boiler service, and we will definitely use again. Richard replied promptly to my initial email enquiry and booked in us straight away. Tom who did the service called giving me a ETA which was appreciated and did a great job on explaining potential issues with our warranty. Highly recommended.
Quick response to a small job came next day job done. Highly recommended
This is not a criticism of the work which was to a high standard but how a job was priced. Requested a boiler service and on inspection of the boiler was advised of a problem with a diffuser and that it had not been adequately provided for, so to make safe was advised to have the work carried out. After the work was carried out was advised likely to need a new boiler and was quoted for that but on receiving a comparison quote from a competitor I mentioned the diffuser work and he pointed out that it didn't need to be done, the diffuser had been correctly fitted on an adjacent wall. So the work carried out by R Dakin wasn't necessary and the job cost me £250 more than it should've. I'm hoping this is because the already fitted Diffuser was missed and that it wasn't an attempt to exploit my lack of knowledge in order to inflate the price of the job. I've just moved house and can ill afford to throw £250 down the drain for unnecessary work.
Excellent service and reasonable priced
