Reviews
4.6
Reviews praise helpful engineers and office staff, neat installations and prompt repairs; some positive comments concern the plumbing supplies counter. Critical accounts describe a radiator problem after servicing and a dispute over a return visit fee, unanswered calls and emails, and an appointment cancelled shortly before it was due.
Always helpful and have done several good jobs for us
We unknowingly purchased a property with a questionable maintenance history and needed a trustworthy company to help us to get the house how we wanted it. RF Blount & Sons have been brilliant over the last four years we've been using them. Not only have they professionally undertaken all the Plumbing and Electrical jobs we have thrown at them but also suggested other improvements which we hadn't considered. We ditched a large company who used to service the central heating boiler in favour of a contract with Blounts, and now feel comfortable in their hands. The professionalism doesn't stop with the engineers who have visited but also the 'back office' staff are also commended for their courtesy, efficiency and patience! We have just been offered a new annual boiler service contract and are signing it without hesitation. Highly recommended!
A very big thank you to Andrew, Arron and Oakley for installing two air conditioning units into my Bedroom and Kitchen / Diner. Their work was nothing but professional, exceptional and clean. Three very nice engineers who went the extra mile with complete attention to detail, they even repaired and serviced my boiler whilst on site and set up our telephone app and alexa for us both. I have put RF Blount to the top of my contact list and will definitely be calling you for future servicing and any other projects I need completing. Thank you again for your service and please pass on our thanks to Andrew, Arron and Oakley. Kind regards James and Jackie
Such helpful guys. Boiler service undertaken very efficiently. Great customer service. Thank you.
We just wanted to send a huge thank you to everyone at R F Blounts from a lovely warm house in Irthlingborough 😊 Our boiler recently died, right in the middle of the cold spell. There of hundreds of heating engineers out there, how do you choose which one to call for help? We decided to contact a long establishment family business with a great reputation, R F Blounts. Initially we dealt with Becky in the office, she was very helpful and got an engineer to us really quickly. Andy swiftly diagnosed the problem and even managed a temporary fix. They immediately got us a quote sorted for the parts and fitting. They also pointed out that the value of this quote was 1/3rd of the price of a new boiler. Our boiler was 21yrs old and had been repaired before, what do we do 🤔🤔 They passed us over to John who quoted for a replacement boiler, explaining that it was a lot more efficient than our failing one, and the new one comes with a 10yr warranty (provided it is serviced annually). I quickly arranged for 2 more quotes, these confirmed that the price from Blounts was fair. We made the choice to go for the new boiler. They quickly got one ordered for us, we arranged a date for it to be fitted. We now have a fabulous new boiler, it looks neat, as does the installation work. I was more than happy with the engineers Arron and Alfie, both were polite, informative, helpful and likeable. So, it’s a huge thank you from Pete and Jo We would 100% recommend RF Blounts to anyone with boiler, heating or plumbing issues.
Service my boiler when needed and emergencies or general jobs always fit you in worth the money than pestering people to give you a time and date who still don't show
Had a new kitchen tap fitted today and all was efficient and perfect. The young engineer who came to fit it was outstandingly polite and efficient, thank you and I’m sorry I didn’t catch your name so I could give you a mention. Kind regards Steve from Yardley Hastings
Very efficient. Becky at reception is very good at keeping you up to date and her customer service and communication is great.
Leaking joint, Chris came out looked said hum. New Radiator, so said about other room rad. No prob he said. Came today all fitted working, cleaned up behind himself. Never knew he'd been. Excellent Service highly reccomend

Called RF Blount after another boiler repair company was unresponsive. Dealt with me professionally from start to finish, job was done quickly and to a high standard. Definitely using them again in future!

Had an appointment. Rang 15 minutes before to cancel. Very poor service. Not the way to run a business!
Best plumbers merchant in kettering. I wish I had caught the name of the guy who served me today. Because he was the most helpful man to ever work at a plumbing suppliers.

New Sink in Bathroom - Ryan did a super job, same as when he fixed my burst water pipe outside - a day early too! Many thanks
Made a call , emailed the company asked for a reply . Called again they said they were busy but that’s an excuse, only an answer or any communication will do !!!. Your brand image has been tarnished. As a company I regarded highly long ago obviously isn’t run by experienced customer facing people. One team wrong direction!!!
Our central heating boiler stopped working, so we called Blount and they arrived within a couple of hours.A new part had to be ordered, so we had to wait a day for it. Next day bright and early the engineer arrived and replaced the faulty part and all fixed. The two engineers that visited were fantastic, great guys. A good service especially a couple of days before Christmas. Thank you all.
Blount came to service my 88 year old father's central heating system. during the process their engineer bled the radiators, except for one in the lounge, which he 'showed' the key to but did not bleed properly. My father said "are you sure you've done that properly"? which the engineer dismissed offhand. since that day, the main radiator in the lounge that my dad takes his heat from has not worked! I called the company up and they wanted to charge a fee for coming out to fix the problem they caused. I asked for management to call me back, but of course they didn't. very dissatisfied with the service - make sure you check all systems they've touched before you settle the bill. DGH
