Had a complex plumbing situation.Great advice by company and carried out the project with perfection!
We recently had Cameron install a new combination boiler and gas hob. He was highly knowledgeable and completed the work with exceptional professionalism. He kept the workspace incredibly tidy, which made our evenings stress-free during the installation. The job was finished in under three days, and everything has been running perfectly since. Highly recommended!
We had a new boiler fitted by Rudkin and Herbert and are really impressed by the service provided. From initial contact through Courtney and Dianne, to the quote by Ian and the installation carried out by Cameron (and Jarad...sorry about spelling...and Ian), all were brilliant. The job was a nightmare we inherited when buying the house 3 years ago, with a boiler that was around 25 years old and a gas pipe run that was hidden in a ceiling void. The "brilliant" BOXT didnt want to touch it with a barge pole and, after they let us down the day before the install was planned, we shopped around and found Rudkin and Herbert. Ian quoted us and was obviously very knowledgeable and managed to come up with a solution to our problems (which included having to move a freestanding bath that previous owners had had fitted infront of the boiler cupboard!!). Cameron turned up on time every day and put a shift in. Polite, clever and a grafter. Never complained once and always told us what stage things were at and what he needed to do next...top lad. Gas pipe run update meant having to lift tiles on a roof to locate the bloody thing. Cam, Jared and even Ian made this possible...all in 30+ degrees heat. Says a lot when one of the actual owners of the business is willing to get on a roof to help his lads out!!. Cam finished off the next day, went through the new controls with us and left all relevant paperwork. Now looking forward to a good few years of not worrying about the winters coming. Brilliant company and brilliant staff. Cheers all 👍
We had a commercial boiler and radiator replaced. The installation was systematic. They were prompt, clean and Glen did his upmost to leave us with an efficient system. Brilliant service. Will continue to use them for annual servicing.
First class service from Rudkin and Herbert. Fitter was Cameron who was Friendly, professional offering exceptional service. Explained about boiler controls went through app. Showed all radiatos working. Explained and showed how to increase pressure if needed. Our last boiler we had for 19 years. Fitted by the company. Thanks for the great service. Cameron, thank you so much for first class service. David & Tina
6 weeks since Jason and his team put in a full central heating system boiler. It's been working brilliantly and lovely and warm in the house after the boiler failed over Christmas. Excellent service from everyone at R+H. Professional service with everything left tidy every day. Would highly recommend them all.
Job quoted & professional installation within a week. From Ian quoting the job, being very open and honest of what was required and that it would take 2 days rather than a 1 day rush. I believe it was Connor who fitted the boiler within the 2 days and had it up on running as well as through a smart app. Could not be happier & their price undercut British Gas by well over £1000.
Thank you Tommy from Rudkin and Herbert for grafting away to plumb in my new clinic sink. The whole service has been floorless since requesting a quote, efficient and fantastic communication throughout. Tommy is polite and trustworthy as well as extremely skilled! I'll be using your company again - thank you!
Rudkin & Herbert did a brilliant job repiping our central heating. Ian was really helpful & gave us a detailed quote at a very reasonable price. Cameron & Shay carried out the work to a really high standard. They were polite & hard working always leaving the place tidy at the end of each day.
A very professional job done installing our complete new combi boiler system. Cameron and Conner were courteous and knowledgeable and completed the installation with the minimum of inconvenience to our commercial premises whilst trading. I would certainly recommend Rudkin & Herbert Ltd based on my experience with them.
Cameron and Shae did a great job over four days, removing the old boiler and hot water tank, fitting a new boiler and new radiators. Both were professional, polite, skilled hard workers, always leaving the house tidy at the end of every day. Would definitely recommend them both, and Rudkin and Herbert, the company they work for.
Recently had an oil boiler replaced. On contacting Ruskin & Herbert the response was immediate, very thorough and explained what was needed and why. The engineers arrived exactly on time and introduced themselves , a first class job and if I could give Glen more than five stars I would, well done.
I Spoke to Carole on the telephone about my boiler problems, she was very lovely and couldn’t help enough, she arranged for Connor to come and evaluate the problem, followed by Ian to explain what would be best. Conner & his team came back and worked very efficiently and did an excellent job. Thank you!
Great service from start to finish. Would highly recommend
Cameron, the engineer who was sent out, was very efficient and thorough and left everything clean and tidy. Would recommend their services!
Just wanted to say massive thank you to Jamie for fitting our new bathroom. He did a fantastic job, was polite and courteous throughout. Also a massive thank you to Rob, who overseen the job. Again he was very kind, reassuring and thoughtful throughout, and his communication throughout the whole process was fantastic. I wouldn't recommend anybody else
Just had a new boiler and electric fire fitted by Cameron and Shaye. Engineers did a really good job, nice and tidy. Started on the agreed date and completed on time. Thank you to Max for resolving a snag promptly.
We recently replaced 3 boilers in a block of Apartment and I have to say Ian and his team has been amazing. He came out couple of times before we agreed with everything. He is a reasonable guy and quotes were fair as well. Work was done to the high standards. His team came bang on time, tidy up after themselves and resolve the issues , complications on the way. I would definitely Recommend this firm to all and be using them for my future projects ❤️
New cylinder and additional works. Cameron did a great job, he was on time every time. Great workmanship from the beginning to the end.
Before I choose Ruskin and Herbert I rang about 3 different companies for a quotation and then decided to go with them. The reason for choosing them was the company is run very smoothly and all questions were answered throughout the installation. Every call was answered by their office. After speaking with Diane, who helped with all office enquiries relating to the new boiler. I would like to thank Ian the Director for coming out to my house and explaining everything in detail for the installation of a new boiler and radiators. He was curtious and informative throughout the discussion. He left alot of information to go through and decide which boiler I wanted. He spent time going through the process. I want to say a big thank you to Cameron and Shaye for the installation of my new vaillant boiler Eco Tech Plus and 8 new radiators. I am very pleased with the workmanship of the installation. The lads were professional and polite. Cameron explained the information regarding the installation to me regarding the Vaillant Sensocomfort thermostat and how it operates. This was very helpful. Overall excellent job and would definitely recommend Ruskin and Herbert. Money well spent. Thank you so much
I have just had a complete New walk in shower put into my bathroom and the bath removed, I suppose you could say a complete refit, and through out the six days it took I can honestly say that I have had the greatest bunch of guys in my home anyone could wish for, they were always polite knuckled down and did the job, and why is Spencer a trainee, that man worked his little socks off I hold u in high admiration spencer and Shane for his size he can sure pack a lot in, very impressed with everyone including Diane at the office. I will not hesitate to recommend your company. Keep the good work up
We just had a new boiler fitted by Cameron and shaye. We like to thank them both for their hard work and effort and for doing a marvellous job of fitting it professionally and being very kind and friendly and giving so much information whilst doing the job. We also like to thank Dave for doing the electrical side of the installation. We have used Rudkin And Herbert a few times now and we would highly recommend them.Many thanks 😊
I am not the one to usually leave reviews, but after a year long search for the right Gas Safe engineer to replace my old hot water tank system to a combi boiler on an old terraced house, I was left with, hefty quotes or "No we cant do it" the job is too big and there will be complications. I was then recommended to Ian from R&H. Ian came out to visit after hours, and explained everything thoroughly, whilst everyone else said the job was too difficult or they couldn't do it, Ian suggested different ways to accommodate my needs and was very patient with all my questions. I was able to contact him at any time and he always responded back promptly. The quote given was reasonable and dates for works were also readily available to suit my work schedule. The engineer who carried out the work, Cameron, was knowledgeable and carried the works out in a proficient way despite being under the weather. Although there were some minor hiccups along the way (as expected with a job like this), these were sorted promptly and everything was put back to how it was. I now have a system which works well and I am glad to have used R&H. I would highly recommend ALL of the team at R&H including the front office staff who were all attentive. If you are looking for a friendly, reliable boiler installer/gas safe engineer in Leicester then look no further. Thank you all!
We are absolutely delighted with the walk-in shower recently installed by Rudkin & Herbert. The whole project went very smoothly. We were impressed with manager Rob who called in daily to oversee the work and who went the extra mile to make sure we were happy with the end result. A special mention to Jamie who did a magnificent job with the plumbing, tiling and fitting of the shower screens. His craftsmanship and attention to detail is second to none. A pleasure to deal with. Each member of the team, including Paul who prepped the walls, was courteous, professional and tidy. We would highly recommend this firm.
We have just had our bathroom refitted by Rudkin & Herbert and could not be more pleased. Design suggestions and planning by Ian was inspired. Excellent tiling by Minty, who easily satisfied my husbands OCD. A massive thank you to Paul and Carl. What a team. Every night everything was left clean and tidy, they were so polite, thoughtful and a high attention to detail. Requests were listened too and expert advice was always on hand. All the trades persons involved were friendly, polite and efficient. The bathroom is absolutely gorgeous and the process was very smooth and uncomplicated. Would recommend highly - thank you so very much.
I recently had my bathroom upgraded, I could not have hoped for a more wonderful transformation, with the help from Rob with the plan, Paul, Karl, and Spencer the finished bathroom is outstanding, the team have been friendly helpful and a pleasure to work with. I have worked with Rudkin and Herbert before I would have no hesitation to recommend them, if you are looking for great advice, value for money, professionalism look no further. Thank you for everything.
We recently had a new oil fired boiler and system installed by R &H. Very professional. Very clean and tidy. Friendly staff. Very good all round.
We were very impressed with Jason's excellent work Top class!
Could not fault the service from all the team, especially Cameron who fitted the boiler. So helpful , hardworking and polite. Nothing was too much trouble.
Excellant disign and work
Excellent work from Rudkin and Herbert. Paul installed two radiators and left the place perfectly clean. Good lad to chat to as well, filled with friendly advise and very professional. Communication with the office has been straight forward as well.
We recently had a new bathroom and walk in shower fitted by Rudkin and Herbert who did a fantastic job. Rob was very helpful in the planning and overseeing of the whole project. We had a lot of work that was carried out, Simon the plumber had great product knowledge and went through everything with us from start to finish and also kept us updated each day. Carl who carried out the carpentry works did an excellent job, also many thanks to Spencer, Jazz and all others involved. We would recommend Rudkin and Herbert to anyone who is looking for a new bathroom.
R&H have just completed a major upgrade of our central heating. The quality of the work from the start to completion has been exemplary and so has been the communication. Highly recommended!
So happy with my new boiler,radiator and shower. Jason was a totally great guy and very professional and patient when explaining things. I left Jason to it, and couldn't believe how much work he had got through when I got home from work. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company for every member of staff involved from start to finish.
We recently had a new boiler fitted and we are very satisfied with the overall service. Cameron was exceptional with his attention to detail and high standards.
Absolutely delighted with the service provided. My very frail mother in law wanted her bathroom made into a wet room. The work was carried out on time and to a very high standard. Communication was excellent throughout. Perhaps most important though was the considerate and understanding behaviour of Simon and the workers involved. They made the whole process so much more manageable for my mother in law. Thank you.
Last October we had a brand new bathroom fitted stripped right back to the brickwork, walk in shower, toilet and hand basin lovely tiling and floor. Now our brand new outside toilet with panelling, new flooring and door, no mess always clean up. Thankyou Rob and all the team at Rudkins & Herbert, would highly recommend, thank you again Mr & Mrs Kenure
Cameron came to fit a new boiler and Taydo radiator system in my flat this week and was professional, friendly and efficient. He even helped me with setting up the app to control the temperature on my phone (I'm a bit technologically challenged!) Overall a very pleasant experience and I would be happy to recommend Rudkin & Herbert to others.
Very good assessment of our requirements for an assistive bathing wet room and thoughtful follow through and execution by plumber Simon. I was also pleased with general finish and appearance and removal of rubbish. I thought the overall cost very reasonable for the amount of time and labour.
Excellent communication and Service All communication with the staff was excellent. Regular updates on progress. I was told by another plumbing company that my boiler flue was too close to the window and a flue for that boiler was not available and that I would need a new boiler. Contacted Rudkin & Herbert, sent over a few pictures of the boiler and the flue. They got back to me with a quote for replacing the flue. Work was carried out on time and provided with a new Gas Safety Certificate :)
I needed my kitchen updating, and an antique radiator installing. The office staff were friendly and helpful. Cameron came on time, and managed the work very well. He improved the pipework left by former plumbers, managed to fit the old radiator, and didn't leave until everything was done to (both) our satisfaction. A very good service!
Joe, Jason and Ed were brilliant. Efficient and excellent tradespeople working hard and as a team, working around us in our home. Completely trustworthy and pleasant. Cleaned up after the job. Office staff extremely friendly and helpful. Nothing to fault. Can’t rate highly enough.
Absolutely 5* service from these guys, especially Cam. Kept us informed through the whole process, very knowledgeable and down to earth. Did a smashing job especially under difficult layout of the house. Would highly recommend these guys. Nothing is too much trouble, even stayed longer to explain several times how to operate the boiler and the hive system. Thanks guys!
I needed to replace a very old boiler and hot water cylinder, and wanted a high-quality Vaillant system which would be future-proof and could work in conjunction with an Air-Source Heat Pump at a later date. Ian visited and listened to our requirements and explained the various options. The Rudkin & Herbert team installed the new Vaillant boiler and ASHP-compatible hot water cylinder in our garage, fitted some new radiators, TRVs and flushed the system, and connected the new system and removed all of the old system and pipes no longer needed. All with the minimum of disruption. I was really impressed by the professionalism of the R&H team, particularly Cameron's meticulous attention to detail and very neat and tidy pipe work. It's great to see people taking such pride in their work. Very happy with the quality of the work and end result, highly recommended.
Excellent from start to finish! Had been thinking about having the bathroom done for about a year and then decided to go ahead - we had a separate toilet & bathroom but decided to have all in 1 room Mum had recently had a stroke and was in the recovery stage, straight away Simon put mum at ease and explained everything he was going to do and regularly came downstairs to check she was ok with the noise and herself in general. Nothing was too much effort for him. Throughout the week Tom, Pete, Minty & the electrician were all great too! Very happy with the bathroom and got it all done within 2weeks! Great team & great work completed - thankyou so much
Just had my boiler install. So in the past 10 years I’ve had about 3 engineers come down to change my boiler. So I’ve seen the difference in workmanship. By far, Rudkin and Herbert were the best. I had an engineer called Jack, very professional, very informative and very competent in the trade. I would defo recommend and defo use again.
Had a Combi boiler to replace old traditional with tanks etc. Everything, from the quotation to the finished job, was professional and the workmanship excellent. The fitters took care, taking away rubbish and leaving a neat and tidy finish. The main fitter Cameron worked really hard replacing an antiquated system, explained what he was doing and took time answering my questions. The Apprentice Max took great care removing and fitting new radiators. A further fitter Jason, did a tidy job on the gas work. I was recommended to Rudkin & Herbert by a neighbour and can certainly recommend them.
Following a hot water cylinder tank leak attributed to its age, I found it necessary to replace my boiler. Ian, recommended by a friend, proved to be an exceptional choice. Upon visiting the property, Ian provided a competitive quote and executed the replacement with precision and excellence ( Must name here Joe, Max and Tom and their hard work. Good, smart and efficient ) . His accessibility and prompt responsiveness via email and WhatsApp further underscored his professionalism. I wholeheartedly recommend Ian's services, as he proves to be reliable and available when needed most.
Excellent installation once again from R&H at Shree Hanuman Temple, fast & efficient as usual.
Had a lot of work done with them. I will provide and honest amount. Work was done over the last few months. 1. Quote provided swiftly and was very detailed and impressive. 2. When the job started, the main plumber was shocked as there was clearly too much work for him to do, for the allocated time. He continued and then required extra help along the way. 3. The job performed was very good, can't complain about that. 4. However, there have been problems since then. I was them chanrged extra at the end due to 'extra time and work', though lots of work planned wasn't done (easier plumbing routed used), they didn't send enough people in the first place (and thus of course needed more people on the job) and ignored the hundred of smoking/tea breaks. Also, interestingly on the last day they finished 2-3 hours but they hung around and then left at 4-5pm;I assume the vehicles might be tagged by the company boss. I paid the extra money (approx.10% more) simply as I wanted the after care if required, but see below the issues. 5. Post care warranty has been non-existent;they refuse to come and deal with problems I've faced, despite calls and emails. I've found an alternative plumber to resolve these issues. 6. Please note, the boss (Ian Herbert) is a very aggressive man, and had to be warned to behave. He doesn't like to be told he is wrong unfortunately. Be warned, my advice is to use another company or a local independent plumber. Look elsewhere. Happy to provide proof and verification of the work and the issues, if required.
Needed a new boiler and radiators for the house as well as relocating from bedroom to kitchen. Decided to go with Rudkin & Herbert due to the reviews. Can honestly say it was well worth it. Ian was great with advising us on the different options as well as accommodating our needs and Cameron was great with the installation as well as coming back to fit the radiators once we were ready for them. He was clean tidy and did a great job explaining everything to us. Would highly recommend Ian and his team
Fabulous. Jason, Max & Joe of Rudkin and Herbert have ‘just’ installed a complete new heating system for my home; boiler, pipe work and radiators. What a joy, the guys worked so hard, were so professional and tidy. You should see the superb finish. Amazing, thanks guys, well done Rudkin and Herbert.
We wanted a new boiler. We got excellent advice and Kam, who fitted our boiler, was excellent. He was pleasant and very professional! He did a great job and didn’t leave any mess. The boiler works really well and we are very pleased with everything! I would thoroughly recommend Ruskin and Herbert. They were equally as good when they upgraded our bathrooms several years ago. They continue to provide an excellent level of service!
Modernised upstair and down stair Bathrooms. Excellent work and service provided with ease by the team of Robert (Rudkin & Hertbert). All the advise and information provided by Rob in the quote and during work were excellent. All the staff, including office staff, listen to your concern and promptly deal with it. Rob(Manager), Simon(Plumber) and Carl&Peter(Carpenters) are excellent and very knowledgeable. Thank you so much team and would definitely recommend Rudkin & Herbert and the team. Thank you.
We recently used Rudkin and Herbert to replace our bath with a walk-in shower. We had previously had quotes from the large companies who do this for a living, but found them pushy and expensive. Rudkin and Herbert in contrast, listened to what we wanted and installed a practical and attractive walk-in shower, retaining our existing shower at our request. Result: cheaper and better adapted to our requirements. Rob and Paul and the tiler, whose name I have forgotten (sorry!) were particularly helpful. Many thanks all.
Use them in the past. Good job at reasonable price. We have been put on a waiting list, because they are so busy
Very bad company had shower replaced the on off button is very doggy very bad
As helpful as ever highly recommended
Excellent, from first contact to completed job. Jason Herbert managed a tricky install, and also coped admirably with dealing with my mother who is suffering from dementia. I have no hesitation in recommending them.
Faultless service. Just moved into a house with no heating or boiler. Rudkin & H gave a good quotation figure and clearly knew their stuff. Cam and Jack who did the main work were great. Hard working and professional, thank you. They started on the day agreed and worked hard every day. Professional all around and would I highly recommend them.
Ordered new radiators for the house and had a new boiler system installed with high quality goods recommended by Ian. The workmanship was excellent and everything clearly explained by Cameron who was tidy and an asset to the business. Only slight issue was the communication regarding chrome over copper pipework on rads but it was dealt with to my satisfaction in the end. On the whole a 5 star service and I would highly recommend them.
Posting on behalf of Mrs C McNeill. Jason was very methodical in his approach, plus he was clean and tidy. Very pleased with the job
Great workmen, efficient, polite and helpful. would definitely recommend.
Fabulous Bathroom !!!! Thanks to Rudkin and Herbert Team !!! Job well done Recently we had our bathroom completely refurbished and are extremely pleased with the way work was carried out .The bathroomhas been transformed into a luxurious , spacious, and bright looking room. This would not have been possible without the dedication and very skilled staffs from Rudkin and Herbert company. Everyone from the plumber, plasterers ,electrician, and tiler - all contributed their skilled and expertise to transform our bathroom. Our thanks and our appreciation goes to Ian ( planning /design of Bathroom ) Paul ,Tom, Tom ( tiler) Dave, and Bob. I would recommend Rudkin & Herbert if you are thinking of renovating bathroom or any other heating related work. I have used this company in the past for Boiler and Central Heating installation, and for Pressurized Immersion tank in 2022 Anil & Josh Jan 2023
We needed a new boiler. Hesitant with who to go with due to the cost associated with a new boiler & fear of a bodge job. However we found Ruskin& Herbert after a huge amount of research, they we’re great. Great service from visiting for an estimate to the engineer with the install. Really quick turnaround with the quote. No issues no drama. Great local business and definitely makes you feel at ease with a purchase like this.
Thank you very much for the work that you have carried out on the installation of a new boiler. Very polite, professional and couldn't fault the service at all. (Paul the engineer gave an excellent service)
Wasn’t disappointed After our old (20yr+) boiler broke it was time for a new one. We didn’t know anyone that had used Rudkin & Herbert before and after reading reviews we decided to go with them….. They didn’t disappoint. From when Ian came out and reassured us that it could be changed to when Cameron appeared on the day of works. Cameron is a credit to the company. He was always on time, polite and courteous. He laid carpet protector down on all areas that he would be working, cleaned up after himself every day and left us with water. He mostly worked on his own and had additional support pop in when they were free. Took ½ a day longer than quoted (price didn’t change) but this did not impact on the works carried out. Had an issue with our bathroom radiator after (not a fault of the installation) Paul came out the day that I rang and sorted the issue within minutes. I am now saving for a new bathroom and will not hesitate to us this company for the works.
Had three new radiators installed in our house. Cameron was great, very polite, and tidy (tidied as he went and put protective covering on the carpets), and the work is to a great standard. Explained how everything works before he left, very happy with the result!
Professionally installed pressurised water system and boiler.
We’ve used this company a number of times and will gladly use again. Very professional and seem to provide good opportunities for young apprentices! They’re reasonably priced and provide quality products!
I've used Rudkin & Herbert for new boilers and heating systems in my last two houses. They did such a good job the first time I automatically used them a second time. The installers are always super friendly, clean, tidy and spend plenty of time ensuring you are up to speed with the system before leaving you. The second system was installed by Jack who was great with the kids, really friendly and always left the house clean and tidy. I've not had one single problem with either install and would highly recommend to anyone!
Fantastic service from Ian's initial visit to quote for the work then replacement of my 24 year old boiler and repositioning it into the garage from a cupboard on the landing. The existing pipe work to the old boiler was horrendous but Joe figured it all out and managed to hide it all beneath the floor. Paul meanwhile installed the new boiler and carried out all of the associated pipework. Both of them arrived early each morning and stayed late to ensure the three day job was completed on time. They were friendly but professional and answered any questions I had. They were also extremely tidy and cleaned up thoroughly after completing the work. A mention also to Nick the joiner who made a great job of replacing the flooring damaged during the work. Finally, the staff at the office were also quick to respond to a query about the start date for the work which I had got wrong. The boiler has been working perfectly since last week and I was so impressed with Paul, Joe and Nick that I'm now awaiting further quotes for work on my en-suite and bathroom. Great company and superb staff.
I had a complete upgrade of my plumbing and heating system which was very complicated. The work was carried out by Glen who was super efficient and an excellent tradesman. He is an asset to the company.
Excellent service. Quotation was clear and detailed (thanks Ian) this then transitioned to the high calibre of workmanship and quality components. Jack was excellent in execution of duties, also questions I had were thoroughly answered and thought through. Easily recommend can see why Which recommended this company. They made a complicated upgrade from the customer viewpoint... A simple task.
Just had a new boiler fitted. Boiler working well. A great job was completed by Cameron the installer. He was punctual, polite, always tidied up and cleaned up each night and went above and beyond staying til 6.30pm to wait for an electrician and make sure everything worked before he left on the final day. He should be employee of the week! A great company to deal with.
Had a wet room installed by rudkin and herbert in June 2022, I couldn't praise them highly enough, excellent work and very efficient always cleaned up after themselves, wouldn't have even known they had been here, would highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to use them again thank you to all
I thought it is about time I added a review for R&H after a year and usually gives me a good indication how a company deals with its customer care service, after having fitted two easy access bathrooms for my elderly parents in 2021 and my disabled father who has neurodegenerative disease with limited mobility. I have given R&H two stars because it has dismal customer service, it seems every time you need to put something right with an issue/s with bathroom/s that R&H has fitted. I have been persistent with them and confronted with R&H not having engineers or not a priority for them with excuses after excuses. When it does happen, it can take considerable time to put it right. Kicking it into the long grass, hoping the issue will disappear. Unfortunately, customer care/aftersales support seems like an afterthought with R&H and no CRM or anything that resembles it. You would you expect R&H to have this in place like with any other businesses, to have ease of access and speed of support, first contact resolution. It needs to be timely in resolving any matter however small or big to repair or replace faulty product/s, unfortunately it has nothing the resembles this with antiquated approach to customer service. These are three examples as to what good business customer looks like with positive examples, how they approach customer service from my experience who have ‘can do’ positive outlook and having used various companies like BOXT which fitted our boiler and every time I have contacted them there were no qualms or excuses, the matter dealt with quickly regardless how small or big. Another local double-glazing company I have used, has the same approach of quickly dealing with issues, an email/telephone call confirming the booking of an engineer. I even used another local plumbing company to fit a kitchen tap and the director of that company came to fit the tap within an hour, as his engineers were out on other jobs, without excuses and in fact he later text me a week later to see how I was getting on with the kitchen tap. Although R&H engineers were brilliant and it is a shame the management at R&H has no comprehensive approach to customer service, it is something R&H management needs to do to put in place with a good CRM process. If you are planning to use R&H, please stipulate that you expect aftersales or customer care support as part of the package in place. If there are any issues arising in the future and expect any issues or matters put right without excuses. Please shop around with more customer focus businesses, as the expenditure having a new bathroom is expensive. So, it does require careful approach which bathroom fitting companies can meet customer expectation and going beyond without excuses or qualms.
Just had a new boiler fitted by Jack and I'm really pleased with exccelent work carried out since the very beginning till end. Very professional and focused on the task. The level of tidiness shocked me-nothing left for me.Very friendly and professional approach. So thank you Rudkin Herbert from the very first visit by Ian, amazing Ladies from office and of course for Jack.
Rudkin and Herbert have just completed our bathroom. From the initial visit from Rob to discuss what we wanted to completion , they were totally professional in every aspect. They listened to us and gave lots of good advice. Top quality work throughout from Simon the plumber, Pete the carpenter and Minty the tiler, and the plastering team . Many thanks to you all for our beautiful bathroom. Chas and Karen
Got the radiators replaced in most of the house. From start to finish, the service was great and the work was carried out promptly. All options were discussed beforehand and quotes given were straightforward. On the day, the work was carried out by an experienced member of staff and the replacement radiators have made a huge difference. The company have proven to be very reliable and I know I'll have no problems getting any work done by them again in the future
just had new boiler fitted by Glenn and Joe really pleased with work carried out excellent work carried out from 1st to last minute hopefully will now be using R & H for all plumbing work in the future . thanks also to Ian for survey of work req explained what was needed very clearly .
Boiler changed for my parents, great job by Cameron.
Special thank you to an excellent team of Rudkin and Herbert Bathrooms: Paul, Nick, Tom, Pete and Rob for transforming our bathroom to a walk in shower. Finished to a very high standard. They were all kind, polite and professional. Big thank you to you all. Julia and Jim.
Had my oil boiler changed. From the beginning to the end of the process the service I receive was excellent. Ian who came and gave me the quote was very helpful in deciding what needed to be done. The staff at the office were excellent dealing with any of my queries. I was exceedingly Impressed with the installation by Glenn and Ed. They both worked extremely well in the house and made us feel comfortable. The standard of the installation was excellent very neat and they always tidied up after them selves. The level of work was of a very high standard and even improved my installation . I would highly recommend this firm for the high standard of work and competitive price.
Professional job a few changes here and their, all been updated patient calm and professional thankyou
Just had a new boiler installed by Rudkin and Herbert. We were very impressed by the skill and workmanship of the installer Glenn and Joe. They were a pleasure to have around the house and left everything clean and tidy.
Absolute professional company and top quality work, from Rob in sales through to Paul and Pete the engineers, to Minty the tiler and Di and the ladies in the office, very polite, helpful, and when carrying out the installation very clean and tidy. I can not thank them enough.
Recently had a new combi boiler installed by Rudkin & Herbert. The whole process from the initial survey to the actual installation was carried out very professionally & on time. We were kept updated throughout the whole process & the installation engineer Jack arrived on time with his colleague & both were very friendly, informative & worked efficiently. They were tidy & the work was done within one day, even though it was scheduled for 2 days. Jack also had to do additional pipe work which was not planned for. Thankyou to both the engineers & to the office staff who are always helpful & take time to resolve our queries. My family really appreciated their service & care that was provided.
Great work! Overall happy with the installation of the new boiler & the staff who were on site (Paul, Stan & the electrician). Prompt correspondence from the office staff as well. Happy to recommend this company to family & friends
Great work from Paul & Ed fitting a new radiator and replacing the old boiler - thanks both. Paul explained everything really well. Thanks to Tracey in the office too! Would recommend. :) Big smiley face.
I had a new boiler installed by these good folks and am very pleased that I did! They may not be the cheapest installers/engineering/plumbing firm but their prices are competitive and the workmanship was impeccable throughout. They have communicated regularly to update me re the work to be done and Ian came out more than once to check it was all going well. The chap who did the work was methodical and tidy and did a great job. Highly recommend.
Excellent service most polite and helpful very tidy and clean couldn’t have given us a better service would definitely recommend to friends and family a big thank you to Paul Langley.
This is our second time having a boiler installation with Rudkin & Herbert. We were happy with the work at our old property and so chose them again at our new property. This time the installation was more complex due to changes that the previous owner had made and I was concerned we would have problems getting the old 1978 boiler changed. But no this was not a problem to Ian when he popped round, he knows his trade and explained what would happen and gave a fair quote. They even helped with the plumbing work of an old sink and refitting a new one which Glen did for us. He did a great job of this so thanks to Glen. The actual boiler installation and new radiators were carried out by Jack and Ed, they were both professional and very hardworking and tidy. We were very impressed with the neatness of Jacks plumbing of the pipework to the boiler and the gas pipe and well done to Ed as there were no leaks to the pipes fitted to the radiators. Both did a fantastic job so Thank you. I know if we ever need any work in the future we will go back to this company and will recommend them to friends. Thanks guys we are so happy with our boiler.
Just had my bathroom made into a wet room by Nick and Simon, from start to finish they were very friendly, cleaned as they went, and told us everything that they were doing that day, I did not want it to look like a hospital room, all the fixtures, fittings, flooring were of good quality. We even got a very good choice of tiles to pick from. Would highly recommend this company., from Ian coming out to measure up and he explained what would happen to closing the door as they left. Thank you Pam-Allan.
Hello, I recently had a boiler installation and a gas fire service. Everything from the initial quote until the installation by Glenn, went spot on and very much oriented to my needs. A team of professionals that I highly recommend.
My elderly mother recently had a 'low-level' shower installed in her first floor flat in a retirement village. Work was completed efficiently and ahead of time. The staff (Simon & Pete) were very polite and considerate. Well managed, with good communication from Rob. Mum's very pleased and we would recommend the Company.
Rudkin and herbert have been excellent im so glad I went with them my wet room looks amazing better than I'd even imagined I don't have a bad word to say about them all the lads were all great polite happy talkative I felt right at home with all of them they turned up on time I was informed who would be coming in each day and what time ian who came out originally to measure up knew exactly what I wanted and needed even tho I wasn't sure of everything I needed Rob was always on the end of the phone when I needed to ask anything and a special thank you goes to all the lads that did all of the work thank you Simon nick Joe dave and minty you have all been fantastic 👏 highly recommend this company thanks again sally green
Recently had a downstairs cloakroom fitted , very happy with the workmanship and service provided by Rudkin and Herbert . Simon and Nick did a superb job always polite and friendly and I would be happy to recommend them . Also thanks to Rob for overseeing the work and keeping us informed.
Rudkin and Herbert replaced an old boiler with a Combi boiler, moving it from the kitchen to the airing cupboard upstairs. Quick response to a request for a quote, great communication and planning. Boiler was replaced quickly in the time specified to a very high standard. The fitters were excellent, neat and tidy and very helpful. Would definitely recommend.
Rudkin & Herbert recently fitted a new boiler and heating system. Ellis, who completed the work, was great. He was really efficient and friendly and explained everything to us. He also identified a gas supply issue to the house but sorted it for us with no fuss. Our new system is brilliant and the Hive that they installed with it works a treat. We have had them out again today to quote for 2 new bathrooms and a downstairs toilet too as we were so pleased with the service.
I used Rudkin and Herbert to install a complete new central heating system, including boiler and all new radiators - I have to say that I am more than impressed with the service and, in particular with Ellis. Nothing was too much trouble and despite the amount of work undertaken, the house was left in the same cleanliness as before the work was started. I would highly recommend this company and, have already ordered a complete bathroom refit from them
An excellent service and results. I previously used Rudkin & Herbert to replace my central heating system and they did a great job so I got them back to refurbish my downstairs toilet. I needed the room completely gutting, a new suite installed, a boiler boxed in, a lot of piping moved plus plastering and tiling. Everything went perfectly from start to finish. Ian came round, we discussed options and he produced a clear, detailed design and quote, which was very reasonable. The work itself, by Simon, Nick and Minty, was carried out very efficiently and to a high standard and the results are excellent. Throughout everyone involved was friendly and helpful and I would unhesitatingly recommend them.
Excellent work and service delivered during challenging times - highly recommend
Absolutley excellent service. Boiler broke in the cold in November last year. I had a prompt evening visit, and a new boiler was fitted within a week. Glenn and his helper were fantastic. even covered my hall carpet in plastic so as not to make it dirty! Once the boiler was up and running Glenn even helped me to set up the App for me to control the heating. I would certainly recommend R&H without any reservation, absolutly brilliant! THANK YOU.
If it is a new bathroom or wet room you are looking for, you need look no further then Ruskin & Herbert. We have just had the pleasure of our wet room installation carried out superbly by R & H. from design to tidying up. We needed an adapted wet room which still looked as though it came straight from the catalogue and that is exactly what Rob’ s design has given us. Rob visited 3 times until he and we were happy with every aspect of the plan and we have enjoyed so many plaudits from friends and family. The execution was mainly carried out very expertly by Nick and Chris and they explained each step as the work progressed. And not to forget the staff in the office. If we had a query it was dealt with there and then. Thank you R & H and long may your success continue. Rosemary & Graham Benison
Poor workmanship. I had a water softener installed. Installer drilled through my worktop, the drill hole isnt towards the back of the worktop where cables could be dopped neatly down the back of the units. I'd prefer to have been asked before, some trunking and thought would have been a better option, better yet a dedicated spur.
What can I say, from start to finish we were so impressed with Ruskin & Herbert. The quality of the work, the products and professionalism of the team were outstanding throughout. The owner Ian, came out and really helped us to scope out the project, he gave us some invaluable advice and is very knowledgable and professional. The quote was emailed promptly, it was clearly set out and very competitive. The work was seamlessly planned out and everyone delivered on time without complications or delay. The guys who completed the work were brilliant, they were all qualified and experienced trades people. They arrived on time, worked hard and always made sure that they left the house clean and tidy. They were also brilliant with our dogs (which was a real worry for us). We are really happy with the work done. We have had so many complements from friends and family.
Everything what's you need to do litle and big job electric, plumbing etc.
If you are looking for friendly, reliable, hardworking and clean plumbers then look no further. We have used them for moving and installing a new boiler and also had a new bathroom and couldn’t be happier. We wouldn’t use any other plumbers. Thanks so much.
Good
I have got my new boiler fitted along with replacement of all my old radiators and couple of new radiators installed end of May 2019. The job was done professionally and took exactly three days as I advised initially. Cameron started the Job on day one who was very polite and explained things properly who was later joined by Matt on 2nd day who was also brilliant and explained me how to use the controls. Just few minor niggles after the Job was finished but Ian sorted out very next day. Overall very happy with the installation and service provided and would definitely recommend this company for boiler or heating needs.
First class operation. Arrived and finished on time. Did a brilliant job replacing my old central heating system and boiler. Friendly and informative team (Ellis, Joe, Jason, Nick and Simon). What more can you ask. Highly recommended.
We are very happy customers. Paul has just finished installing our new boiler after moving all of the pipework to a new location. He has been here for 2 days and has been courteous, professional and the workmanship is excellent. I would heartily recommend Rudkin & Herbert to anyone. This is the 3rd time I have used them and have already booked in for a complete bathroom remodel in May.
New worcester boiler installed in January 2019 by engineer Jason and Cameron, and very satisfied with their service. Would recommend to anybody.
Excellent new oil boiler installation by Glen supported by Joe Chris and Dave. There were a few challenges overcome with expertise and good humour. Very impressive - highly recommended. Seldom have I paid a large bill so happily!
I have nothing but praise for this company, right from the first contact with Ian Herbert the process has been everything you could hope dealings like this should be, professional, efficient, courteous and most of all they stuck to the time frame and price promised.The installation is perfect and the engineers who carried out the work should be very proud all in all EXCELLENT. Thank you Rudkin and Herbert.
We asked Rudkin and Herbert to quote for a new boiler and to upgrade the gas supply to suit. The quote was competitive and comprehensive and we gave the go ahead. The work was carried out efficiently and quickly. Cameron was drafted in to climb around 3 adjoining (just) loft spaces to get the feed through the 30 metre distance, which he did without complaint. Glenn lead the team and fitted the boiler and gas connection and we were all very pleased when the test showed all in order and no leaks! Full credit to Cameron for his efforts. Well done Glen and team, great job and all waste/mess removed. Many thanks, Alan
We have had a new Worcester Bosch boiler fitted. Matt the fitter was brilliant. Arrived on the day punctual, polite, courteous and not just a lovely lad to have around but a first rate plumber.He worked hard, cleared up after him and gave us detailed instruction afterwards of how it works. We have no hesitation in recommending Rudkin and Herbert. They are competetively priced and offer a first class service. Many thanks all and also the team in the office.
This company did a good job installing my new boiler. The team also worked well.
Got my boiler and heaters purchased and installed from them, excellent and professional job done by all - Paul, Ellis, Jack and the helpful one Cameron! Special thanks to Diane to sort out the remaining issues smoothly and interpreting the miscommunication...deserve a 5 star for a well done and a well coordinated job!
We have fitted a new Worseter Boiler. Paul came to fit the boiler and he has done a great job. He fitted it within two days and explained in detail how the boiler works. All work was done and left the place spotless. Satisfied . Thanks to Paul.
Be wary of this company! The owner can be extraordinarily rude. We spent neary £30,000 in 2017 with this company. Some of the works were completed to standard (central heating). Other major works (our bathrooms, WC and washroom) were substandard and it was a battle to get them to listen to my concerns (bizarre behaviours such as attempting to tile over old wallpaper). The owner was completely dismissive of my concerns. Why am I posting this review now? After noticing a foul smell recently, I found out today that the exhaust from the washbasin for our downstairs toilet pours straight into the ground outside of our front door. Yes! They had failed to attach pipes that would allow the waste water to flow into the drain.
Just had a beautiful bathroom installed ahead of schedule and to the highest of standards . A big thank you to Rob and Debbie in the office and also to all the trades especially Simon and Nick. I would recommend Rudkin and Herbert highly to anyone looking for a new bathroom,as from start to finish the job was managed seamlessly
Excellent service provided by Rudkin & Herbert. We had a new Worcester Bosch Combi boiler installed in place of our old heat pump system and the service provided from the word go was fantastic. From going through all the details of the new system at quote stage to the installation by Matt. You couldn't ask for a better service. Carpet protector laid from the minute he arrived to the time he left at the end of the job. Advising when water and gas was being isolated, and general politeness, cleanliness and tidiness the whole time he was there. Even explaining the system controls and how the Worcester Wave works at the end of the job. I will definitely be using them again in the future and would have no hesitations in recommending them to anyone.
The staff are excellent , The work they do is all way first class 5 Stars all the way
Just had some more radiators replaced by Rudkin and Herbert and again cannot fault their workmanship. This time we had Paul and Tom to fit them , exceptional work and both very polite would definitely recommend.
Excellent service. Quick to come round for a quote, which they were happy to price match with another quote. They gave us more services for our boiler repair than others offered. When the time came for the boiler to be fitted, the engineer arrived early and worked quickly and cleanly, fully explaining how to control the new boiler and thermostat settings. Would definitely recommend them.
New boiler fitted all staff Paul .Ellis .Andy and glen first class as were office staff thank you all
Had a new boiler fitted by Paul (The loud one who sings badly) and Cameron (The quiet one who sings much better). They carried out the work with efficiency and the minimum of fuss. Job completed to everyone's satisfaction. Would not hesitate to recommend the company to anyone who requires plumbing & heating work. The lads arrived on time and smiling everyday, and the work was finished on time. They took all the rubbish and cleaned up at the end of everyday. A pleasure. many thanks Alison & Steve
Boiler move, new boiler and shower installed. Installation date brought forward due to old boiler failing and all work completed within planned timescale. Work was done to a high standard, very neat pipework, even the brickwork was outstanding and matched the original perfectly. Very pleased with the job and would highly recommend Rudkin & Herbert.
Jason and Tom came out to fit seven radiators and a new boiler and a few other things, had quoted to finish in 4 days but finished well within three. The team are helpful, cooperative and extremely patient. More than happy with the work carried out and would recommend in the future as they have done an extremely good job.
We had our new gas boiler and associated pipe work from this company, in September 2017. Very professional and efficient from the start to finish. Good value for money, compared to other potential suppliers, and the installation was first class. Matt, with the help of Ellis, was excellent. Clean and tidy and helpful at all times. This was not the easiest of jobs, but the 'problems' were sorted, with the minimum of fuss. Highly recommended.
Matt and Ellis great work highly recommend . Boiler swap and bath tub look amazing!
Excellent service, had a new boiler fitted and old tank etc...removed. All work carried out as promised. A special thanks to Jack Lynch, who worked very hard, He's a great mentor for his apprentices.
Fab team. Personal, helpful, professional and courteous service from a grand local firm. Installed new shower to high standard, and transformed our bathroom. Would recommend them to anyone without any reservation. Not an easy installation, but the team dealt with matters effectively and kept us informed at every step. Excellent.
Rudkin & Herbert are possibly the best people to speak to if you need a new boiler. Their quote was the most reasonable and for the best quality of work, their office staff were helpful, polite and accommodating and they even managed to squeeze us in early after our boiler completely broke down. Glen and Brooke did a fantastic job installing the boiler and Glen went above and beyond to put our kitchen back to how it was before they arrived. When we need/want some more plumbing/heating work doing I know exactly who we're going to talk to first!
Boiler move. Very proffesional from start to finish. Very competitive quote. Arrived on agreed days, and on time. Carried out all work, as agreed. Glen was very polite, did a very neat job., and left everywhere clean and tidy. Very pleased with job....
I love my new wet room just finished by the great team at Rudkin and Herbert. They started the job on schedule and completed ahead of schedule. Everyone worked really hard, and nothing was too much trouble. Rob was brilliant at co ordinating the job and when they hit a snag with the existing drains, Ian came out and soon came up with a plan and a back up. Can't complain about anything, a fabulous team effort and a beautiful wetroom! I'm expecting the same when we have the bathroom done in a few months time. 👍😀
Rudkin and Herbert fitted a new boiler, a new shower unit and ten new heritage type radiators at my Edwardian home in Leicester. The work was done during the heatwave of June 2017 and both engineers worked extremely hard during hot conditions to get the job done, to a high standard, in 4 days. The boiler and shower are working well and thew radiators look great. Obviously as it is still the summer I am not using the radiators yet but I know they were tested and feel confident that, should a problem arise when I switch on the heating during the autumn/winter, that this will be satisfactorily resolved. I have no hesitation in recommending Rudkin & Herbert for this type of work.
Thank you Richard for fitting the new radiator. Always found the firm very easy to deal with from the efficient ladies in the office Diane and Rachel, to the hard working staff at Rudkin and Herbert. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic communication from the start, great advice on layout, materials, fittings for the cloakroom. Beautifully finished and would like to say thank you to the team and in particular to Nick Dalby who carried out most of the work. Definitely recommended.
Not exactly pleasant to deal with quite rude, ripped a hole in my bathroom floor which eventually was resolved with a partial refund. Ok at best
Very good service. Never had a problem. Would recommend.
Very rude owner, does not stick to customer commitment....stay clear once he had his money expect nothing from them....very very poor, see nothing like them
