Principle Energy Solutions Ltd is praised for leak detection and repair, lead pipe replacement and boiler and bathroom work. Reviewers often describe Karl as friendly and say he explained the work clearly. Several customers mention tidy working and good communication, and some call the firm reliable. One reviewer said an emergency driveway leak was attended to three days after contact, which was their earliest opportunity. Another reviewer was pleased with the overall service.
A proper premiership performance 🏆 Karl tracked down and fixed the slow leak in the kitchen straight away. As the leak had happened gradually the floorboards were completely soaked. But this was also sorted as Karl had an industrial sized dehumidifier to work its magic over several weeks. Can’t recommend him more highly.
Karl was very friendly and went out of his way to explain everything he was doing. Fixed the leak in my kitchen which was tricly to find. I would highly recommend
Karl was very friendly, honest and knowledgeable. Would certainly recommend.
Great job. Professional. Tidy. Met the quote and delivered as expected. Would recommend.
Karl is friendly, reliable & professional. I had a leak in my kitchen. I had no access to water for a number of days. I was given Karl’s details, he came the following morning & investigated the problem. He fixed my leak & explained what the problem was & how this can be resolved completely. He talked me through the best solution. Totally recommend this company. Thank you Michelle a very happy customer.
Karl has done a brilliant job and was a pleasure to have working here. We had a leak under our kitchen that required a new pipe from the driveway to the kitchen. A complicated job routing it under the house, but he knew all the options and talked us through them. I would recommend him on any job.
Karl was extremely professional and helped guide me through the lead pipe replacement process fully while his team did a great job laying the new pipework. They clearly have loads of experience doing this stuff.
Really great communication throughout the process and were flexible when Severn Trent cancelled their appointment on the afternoon of the day it was booked for. Professional and efficient
Recently required the help and expertise of Karl for a water leak at a property i manage. Excellent customer service value for money and the work completed to a very high standard. Would highly recommend 👌
Karl is an absolute legend, top top guy and really got us out of a pickle. His work is of really good quality and he knows his stuff. For sure we are going to get him round when we need our boiler moving and putting in a 2 pipe system. Really hard to find someone who takes pride in their work, but we have our guy. Thanks again
Fantastic service, great knowledge and really helped to find a resolution to a water issue. All resolved now thanks to the experienced Karl.
I have water leakage under my driveway and I was informed by Severn Trent that the water leaking at the speed of 1,200 litre per hour. I send emails on a Saturday to three plumbers hoping to solve the problem as soon as possible. To my surprise, Karl replied my email on the same day and came on Monday to give me a quotation. Then, Karl and his staff fixed it on Thursday. I really appreciate their quick and professional work and will recommend this plumber to my friends. They did an excellent job and explained everything in details.
Excellent service, knowledgeable & friendly, efficient and reliable. Would definitely use again if the need arises. Thanks, Karl.
Very happy with the work that Karl and his team did replacing the water supply to our house after leak(s) in the old lead pipes. Great communication and friendly team. Would recommend.
I would give more than five stars if I could! I contacted Karl and his team about a leak underneath my kitchen when my insurer's contractor was taking too long. He was able to fit us in quickly and completed the work to a high standard and for a reasonable price, and left the place spotless. Karl was very knowledgeable and communication was great throughout the process, can’t recommend enough!
Thank you so much to Karl and the team for an excellent service, right from the initial phone call until the job was complete. The job was regarding the lead replacement scheme with Severn Trent (had the lead pipes replaced). Karl did all of the new pipework from the garden boundary through to the inside of the house and also liaised with Severn Trent to ensure that the connections outside ofthe boundary were made. Karl and the team are friendly, reliable, highly skilled and efficient, I can't thank them enough for being there and guiding us through the process. We also had new outdoor taps fitted too, which was also of great quality. Karl and the teams work is to a high standard, would highly recommend.
Excellent professional service.
We had to have a new water supply fitted by Severn Trent Water, but we were allowed to have our own contractors to actually connect to our property and I am so glad we came across Principle Energy. Karl and his colleagues were excellent from the initial quote to the finish of the job. They put Severn Trent Water to shame.
Karl was great! Super quick, helpful and friendly. He was able to identify the issue with my leaky shower immediately, whilst others have not been able to. He then fixed it straight away. Highly recommended!!
Can’t rate Karl and the team highly enough.
Professional, communicative, knowledgeable, accommodating and very happy with the quality of service and work. Overall a great experience, thank you!
I had a leak in my kitchen underground which they detected and fixed within a day. The service was amazing not only did they cause the least disruption they also left my kitchen how it was found. More importantly Karl and his colleague who carried out the work was super professional and down to earth people. I cannot thank them enough for sorting the leak out. Mrs Ahmed
Great communication, took the time to give a detailed explanation of the work to be done. All work was done on time with updates provided throughout. Everything was done to a very high standard. Would definitely recommend.
We had out lead water supply pipe replaced by Karl and his team. Great service. A detailed quote was provided. During the works there was excellent communication so when issues arised they were quickly dealt with. Highly recommended.
I'm impressed with this boiler company. The team was professional, efficient, and patient with my questions. They offered helpful suggestions and feedback throughout the process. Highly recommend their services to anyone needing boiler work. They're proof that you can get quality service at a reasonable price.
Excellent company. Severn Trent sent notice of a leak at our building. This was then traced to the main water supply pipe servicing 6 commercial and 1 residential properties, which ran underneath the building. It was decided to bypass the old underground pipe work and reroute the entire supply pipe, which now means easier access should any leaks occur in the future. Karl and his team are very personable and respectful, being both methodical and thorough in their approach. The written specification provided on the initial quote and the subsequent report provided upon completion were excellent, being thorough and detailed, yet written in a clear and understandable way. I found the before, during and after photographs particularly useful and informative. Principle ES were extremely accommodating and completed the project outside standard business hours, thereby causing virtually zero disruption to our commercial tenants. They were also respectful and left our property clean and tidy upon completion of the work. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Principle Energy Solutions to others.
Great work, very pleased and would definitely recommend. We found water coming out from under the patio outside, but we couldn't tell where it was coming from. Karl was really helpful and knowledgeable on the phone and gave some advice whilst we waited for the repair. Punctual, Karl and his colleague were both friendly and professional. They located the leak, made a good repair and reinstated the patio as they found it and left everything tidy. Competitive quote and it even came in under once the work was complete.
So impressed with the work these guys have done. Very reasonable quote which was done quickly and explained fully. All work carried out exactly as quoted 3 day job and every night site was left impeccably clean and full access for disabled father. They worked extremely hard and were always happy to help and easy to talk to or ask questions nothing was too much hassle for them can’t thank them enough very easy transaction even paying was no problem will be recommending principle energy to all thanks again
Can't fault them. And nice with it
Had an epic leak underground at a rental property that the local residents had Ignored for weeks. Karl and his colleague were fantastic in locating and fixing the leak very quickly and efficiently. No mess was left and they were very professional throughout the entire process leaving me at ease and worry free.
Principle Energy Solutions replaced our lead water main and were brilliant from start to finish. Karl was prompt, professional and friendly. He took the time to explain the whole process and assisted with managing the necessary interactions with Seven Trent Water. I would highly recommend Karl and his team and look forward to using them again for future works.
Very impressed with this company. They were very professional throughout. Attended to my emergency leak on my driveway at their earliest opportunity (3 days). Traced, accessed and fixed the leak without issue. Explained everything to me clearly. Tidied everything away at the end. Karl and his co-worker were very friendly and easy to get on with. Communication was excellent and very responsive to messages. They provided a report and certificate promptly. I really cannot fault this company at all and will certainly use them again. I've already asked for a quote for another plumbing job!
Principle Energy Solutions replaced our cold water main pipe as we had several leaks detected. I contacted a few contractors but was instantly impressed by the speedy, professional and friendly response I received from Karl. Karl and his team were professional, efficient and friendly throughout, from the quotation and inspection process to the installation. They explained everything in detail regarding the installation and the best, and most cost efficient, way to complete the job. They were also very helpful and reassuring about what I needed to do regarding Severn Trent Water. They arrived on time to carry out the first part of the installation and worked without stopping for a break to complete the job. I was super impressed with the care and quality of the work they did AND how they took great care to keep everywhere tidy!! There was as no disruption as I had anticipated and it was stress free! I’m sooo impressed with their professionalism and workmanship and would highly recommend this company. Thank you so much to Karl and his team!!
Karl and team were all fantastic. Quality of workmanship was superb and finished to an excellent standard. We are very happy and would highly recommend!
We used Principle Energy Solutions to replace the lead pipes in our house. From my first phone conversation with Karl, he took his time to explain everything in detail and I always felt comfortable to ask anything I was unsure of. He was always on time and kept the house clean. We will definitely use him again.
Finding out that my water supply contained almost double safe levels of lead readings after a random check by Severn Trent and not wanting to waste 10 minutes flushing out every morning as suggested by Severn Trent, I felt compelled to register on the Lead Replacement Scheme and was issued with a list of Watersafe companies. Although I had other companies out to quote for the work, it was obvious straight away when Karl called round to assess the work involved that he was confident that the old lead water pipes outside my Victorian cottage could be capped off and a new installation put in. The whole job seemed quite daunting but Karl assured me that his company had done similar jobs successfully. The work was carried out in a professional, punctual and polite manner. Thank you Karl - my worries are over!
Severn Trent informed me that I had a burst underground pipe which needed to be repaired as soon as possible. I struggled to find someone that could do the job (and be able to start as soon as possible) Karl responded straight away. And from the very start kept me informed EVERY step of the way. The job was completed within hours, Karl showed me the damaged pipe and what the problem was. He also sent me photos of the work, because the work was underground it was reassuring to have this proof for Severn Trent should it be requested, along with the photos Karl also sent me a Watermark Certificate to confirm his repairs were carried out by an approved contractor. The notification of the burst pipe was stressful (& worrying) but Karl’s quick response, professionalism & being true to his word changed everything! Thank You Karl I would absolutely recommend this company.
Karl and Sam have been absolutely amazing! From the first quote they have been more than helpful with suggestions and solutions to get the best result for our ensuite, central heating and bathroom. They are always professional and always answer/return calls, they always turn up on time and leave everywhere very tidy and presentable. They are always more than willing to answer any questions we have about our house renovation and we really value & trust their answers & opinions. Overall their work is faultless, they are great people, and we would highly recommend them.
Employed Principle Energy Solutions to undertake investigative work following receiving a letter from the water supplier highlighting a suspected water leak at my property. The plumber arrived and explained what investigations would done and carried them out. Upon discovering the issue provided me a report to be sent to the water supplier. In summary, I can recommend this firm as the service I received was efficient and professional.
Karl came at short notice to diagnose my failed old boiler, this turned out to be uneconomical to repair so he sourced and fitted a new vaillant boiler with a 10 year warranty, quickly and efficiently and got my house warm again in no time. He was very professional ,kept me up to date with the process at all times and was very tidy. will definitely use him again.
Great quality work, great communication. I will definitely use him again and would recommend him to anyone.
Complete bathroom refit. Removal of old bathroom, plastering, tiling, electrics, and decorating. Sourcing and installation of shower, cubicle, jacuzzi, floating toilet, basin, extractor, mirror, radiator and underfloor heating. I would highly recommend Karl (excellent project manager ... not easy in lockdown) and his team, who were all very professional and tidy. I am very pleased with their high standard of workmanship and the amazing finish.
Excellent service again from Karl for what was a nightmare of a central heating issue in our new house. We have used his services before and will be using him again in the very near future for a bathroom refurb.
Karl installed three radiators for us and chased in some old pipework. He was punctual, professional and a pleasure to deal with. The work he's carried out has been done to a high standard and we'd have no hesitation in using him again.
Very responsive, friendly and knowledgable
Would absolutely recommend...turned a fitted wardrobe in part of a double bedroom into a small shower room with toilet, radiator, sink and shower with enclosure. Built a stud wall, added a brand new door opening and door, repurposed the old wardrobe fixtures to create another wardrobe in the existing bedroom leaving two fab rooms out of one, completed to a very high standard. Great finish, reasonable rates, nothing was too much trouble, thought about everything and gave me options at every stage. Plus super clean and very reliable. Couldn't be happier. Thanks guys :)
Being an fellow tradesman I've worked alongside Karl from principle energy on numerous projects from heating systems to bathrooms. He is always very professional, clean, respectful and does a fantastic job! I would 100% recommend
Karl did a fantastic job at servicing our boiler, we had to get this done during COVID-19 and Karl was fantastic at ensuring he was wearing appropriate PPE and completing a great job. I wouldn’t Hesitate to recommend him to anyone I know! 😃
Karl did a great job servicing our boiler. Despite restrictions due to COVID-19, he let us know how he could safely complete the service before he came so we knew what to expect. Great service, good value and a nice guy to boot. Happy customer
Principle Energy Solutions were a friendly and reliable service. Would highly recommend and will be using again in the future.
Karl did a fantastic job of the plumbing installations throughout my house renovation. Everything was stripped out with new boiler, piping and radiators fitted. The most amazing part was the installation of the underfloor heating throughout the ground floor (I think there might even be a time-lapse video of the installation somewhere...). Karl takes you through the project at every stage and is really helpful in recommending what is right for your property and how you will use it. A year in and his recommendations have been spot on. His work is meticulous and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him.
Sourced and fitted a number of beautiful radiators. Clean efficient and professional. A perfectionist. Would definitely use again.
A very professional service. I made contact for an emergency call out due to my upstairs radiators leaking and they arrived within the hour. The leaks were swiftly stopped and the necessary repairs made to save the day. Couldn’t thank them enough. Would highly recommend.
Absolutely superb service from start to finish! I had my boiler replaced and couldn’t be happier. Engineer was clean and tidy round the house, professional and the quality of work was excellent! Anyone looking for a quality local tradesman, look no further!
