Reviews
4.5
Butco Heating Limited has many long-standing customers who report polite, prompt and efficient engineers and good service on boiler servicing, repairs and installations. Some reviewers describe engineers explaining the work clearly and leaving things tidy, and a few mention the care plan covering costly repairs. Others report call-out charges they did not expect, and one says a repair they were told was needed turned out to be a much smaller job found by a second opinion. One reviewer says an engineer's work caused a boiler fault and that the company wanted a call-out fee, and another reports a power flush visit cancelled because of rain and a grumpy engineer. Several reviewers say the company failed to diagnose a boiler fault or did not call back.
I have used this company for a while and most of the engineers are fine. One of them caused issues with my boiler twice. The first time time he caused my magnetic filter to leak which i had to repair with new seals and didn't even let the company know. The second, just recently he serviced the boiler and fitted new electrodes. Something he has done has then caused a delayed ignition on the boiler which makes it bang when ingiting. This has got slowly worse since the service a few weeks ago and i had zero issues before this. Buttco want to charge me a call out fee even though the problem was caused by this engineer. Initially i thought the noise was just the new better electrodes as of course I am no expert, hence why I didn't call initially. The noise has since got worse to the point I realise that it's not normal. I do not think a company should treat a customer of many years like this when they have caused this issue to my boiler, which was fine before. Buttco can now go and ram it and I will go elsewhere as I have completely lost faith in them. Poor unsympathetic customer service from the lady on the phone, maybe get another job if you do not want to speak to members of the public. I would have zero issue paying a call-out fee if it was not directly connected to their attendance.
Have been with Butco just over 40 years now and quite honestly would not use anyone else. We have had a new bathroom fitted and the plumber who did it went away without checking the system was working. I called Butco in and Tim the engineer came and spent 2 hours putting it right. He wouldn't leave until it was working properly. I had to pay for that visit which I was happy to do. Tim noticed the pump was old and noisy so said he would order a new one which would come under the service contract. He came back and fitted that and he did a great job. I would recommend having a service contract as over the years we have benefitted from it and it pays for itself.
After a boiler breakdown Simon attended promptly, he was polite and thorough in diagnosing the issue, parts were ordered and fitted at my convenience, an expensive repair covered by my Butco Care Plan, first class communication and on site attendance, happy to maintain my relationship with this company.
Excellent service as always from Butco. Good engineer. Fast installation of new boiler which works perfectly. Thank you
We have been with Butco for about 40 years. Generally with full satisfaction. The engineer was prompt, courteous and pleasant and completed his service efficiently. We would happily recommend Butco
Excellent customer service, very good Company, have we used for them a number of years, telephoned Wednesday morning with an issue with the shower, engineer came out the same day (due to a job cancellation) shower was sorted the next (due to a job cancellation) work took just over an hour and a very reasonable price . Shower is now sorted. From start to finish customer service was first class, from the girls on the phone in the office right through to the engineer. Very pleased with job. Wouldn't trust anyone else.
Very efficient, great service, arrived on time, Tom was professional and polite and got the job done quickly.
Phoned Butco this morning as my central heating not functioning.Spoke to a very pleasant lady who noted my concerns and she advised an engineer would call either today or tomorrow.Engineer called soon after midday and analysed problem quickly.Temporary fix to follow with permanent repair.Excellent service for many years.No hesitation on recommending Butco.
What a disappointment.After having this company recommended to me I was pleased that an engineer came to assess the problem with our heating system ,a charge for of £73for this.However,no one could come to do the recommened power flush for 2 weeks!This I accepted despite my husband being ill and in hospital and it being the coldest week in November and us both being in our70's,and a deposit of £145 was required.On the allotted day,we were expecting engineer to arrive at 8:30 am,but the phone rang instead to say he was ill and it would be a further 2weeks and no one else was available!!So we wait!True to their word the engineer arrived at 8:10 am,it was raining.To my horror he announced he would have to cancel because it was raining,but because the cleaning fluid was in,that would help the system-no one had been to put the fluid in.He didnt have any,so I asked him to go and ger it and put it in system.That then meant we had to wait another week!!!The job is finally done by a very grumpy ,almost non-communative man,and after my complaint my bill was reduced by £50,I naively thought the original callout charge of £73 would be deducted too as Butco were given the job,but no.Please do not give this company work.They are truly rubbish and dont deserve to be trading.
Today I had first boiler service by Butco engineer -Mal . He was very professional and knowledgeable. He carried out extremely thorough boiler service. He explained what he is doing . He checked pressures, spark plugs cleaned the heat exchanger something never been done by British Gas. I’ve requested same engineer to do boiler service next year. Butco you are the best Keep it up.
I received a call from Butco regarding booking. my annual boiler service just over an hour ago. As an engineer was in the area he attended within about 20 minutes and carried out the service. RC is the same engineer who attended recently regarding a possible boiler fault. This was diagnosed as a faulty shower, which we had replaced by our bathroom installer. All round excellent good value service.
Our boiler was due it's Annual service so contacted Butco. Tom the engineer who came out was very courteous and efficient. It was a very good service from start to finish and would highly recommend this Company 👍thank you.
Butcos engineer Malcolm did a great job repairing my fault boiler. Service was quick and efficient.
New boiler installed on Friday 18th October. Excellent service. Very professional company. Would recommend.
Great heating and plumbing service. I have a service and maintenance contract with them and they are very professional team. They cover all aspects of the plumbing, heating, boiler and electrical care. Very reasonable rates. Prompt when attending annual inspections of the heating and boiler systems.
BUTCO recently took over EVCO heating which I had used for years and received an excellent service from. I contacted BUTCO to replace a broken shower pump; an engineer was sent out who then looked at it for two minutes and confirmed that a new shower pump was needed (as I already knew and had instructed). I then received a £69 call out fee for this. I would also add that a BUTCO engineer (an old EVCO engineer actually) was at the property an hour earlier servicing the boiler. However, BUTCO decided to send a completely separate person out the same day at the aforementioned cost of £69. Disgusting customer service - avoid. EDIT: In response to BUTCO's reply: The fault had been diagnosed by a plumber previously, as you had been informed. It was not self-diagnosed. I specifically requested that an engineer come out to REPLACE the pump. I did not agree to somebody coming to survey the fault. You cannot argue that it is acceptable customer service to charge somebody for a service that they did not request. Furthermore, it is incorrect to state that I was made aware of the price of a callout. Had I known that I'd be charged £69 simply to attend my property, I would not have agreed to it. Frame things however you will - I'm sure that anyone reading this will agree that your charges are entirely unreasonable, especially given that it was for a service that your customer didn't request or require.
Called in the morning around 0800 for a leak, Engineer arrived before lunch and fixed the issue. Couldn’t be happier with the service.
EXCELLENT SERVICE, POLITE, EFFICIENT ENGINEER

I have always found the service provided by Butco to be excellent. It is reliable and the engineers are always efficient and courteous. Today was no exception.
Great service from Garry the engineer. Whilst servicing our boiler we told him about our leaking radiator. He ordered a new valve and it was fitted the next day
The engineer Simon is an asset to your company
First class service. Professional and polite and fill you with confidence that they know what they are doing.
Heating system New LPG Gas Boiler and a New Radiator. Got a Good deal and done on time scale. The staff all did the job well and we are very pleased with the Company & staff :- Fully Recommend.
Great engineer, and company would recommend completely.
Very good service. Would definitely recommend

Always good service, would recommend
Annual boiler service completed excellent service as usual first class
Great punctual friendly service
Totally professional from start to finish.Very impressed with the quality of the work carried out.
Simon Cullis is an excellent engineer. Quickly worked out the problem (which had foiled two previous attempts by a different firm) & put it right. Quite expensive, but now, thankfully, the central heating is working.
Very friendly, professional service.
Very knowledgeable and efficient. Good company
Efficient and on time
Very good friendly and reliable service. Highly recommended
Sent 2 engineers to fix my elderly mother’s central heating boiler. Neither was able to get it working, and the second engineer declared it beyond repair and recommended a new boiler. As the unit was less than 10 years old and appeared to be in excellent condition, I asked a local independent engineer to take a look. He diagnosed a faulty fan, replaced on the same day for £175. I would advise caution in dealing with this company - I have complained to head office and received a telephone apology, but it does seem that “replace not repair” seems to be the easy option for these people.
Usual efficient and reliable service.
easily booked, turned up did job all good and done
Brilliant Company. Highly recommende
Dave was prompt, polite and thorough. Explained what he had done, and left all the paperwork completed.
Gas servicing; boiler, oven & fire

Nice, friendly and professional. From start to finish, always willing to help. Thank you Butco.
Have Boilercare with Butco called them on the 21/03 just after 11am to say i had a issue with my boiler lady took my details and said she could have a engineer out that afternoon. Simon arrived and located problem to a few parts, parts orderd Simon returned on 24/03 fitted the parts and serviced boiler at the same time and all working both Simon and Butco was very professional and put the other large companies to shame and they can take some lessons from Butco on good customer services.
Very quick response times. Kate, who I spoke to originally, was especially helpful and the engineer Simon was polite and tidy. He explained their maintenance plans in detail and we’re now covered for 2 years!
Butco’s plans are great – I found that I can get everything I need for less than £10 a month. Even 24/7 callout for emergencies.
We had just moved into house to find a leaking radiator with water all over floor. On phoning Butco And explained the problem they sent an engineer out to us within an hour. Needed new radiator which was not a problem and installed quickly. Excellent service given by Kelly and her team of engineers. Highly recommended.
Highly recommended. Serviced our boiler, arrived at arranged time and the engineer was very polite and professional.
Excellent service, came out same day. Would recommend.
As usual, fantastic service. Friendly helpful and most of all honest.
Whoever drives the company van is an Idiot if you drive like that I dread to think what your like with a boiler! AVOID
We are loyal customers
Not impressed failed to identify the problem with the boiler. Didn’t call me back to say they couldn’t fix it either. I work for a large city centre firm and have told people to avoid this company at all costs
I am totally disgusting with Butco I have been a customer for 24yrs only ever needed to use my 24hr call out once before has trouble then so this time have had to phone them up on emergency call out due to leak in pipes in my boiler area have called 5 times not even a text message or any form of feedback very upset will b on to them Monday morning 😤😤
Had several problems with my boiler recently and I cant fault the service and responses I’ve had from BUTCO.
We are very satisfied with the standard of work from Butco heating from start to finish, they sent Nigel out to replace and install us a new boiler. He was very polite and professional throughout. We didn't notice he was even there, his work was very efficient , quick and left the house each day very tidy. We would highly recommend them.
Had the boiler serviced and was told it needed over £350 in repairs due to a leaking gas valve, had a second opinion by a reputable company and all that was needed was a joint leading to the gas valve retightening! Only had to pay call out charge for second company.
