Many praise friendly, efficient engineers who handle the paperwork and work well as a team. Lower ratings mostly concern call-out and quote charges felt to be high, and a few people say promised call-backs or appointments did not happen.
High recommend. The A-Class engineers that have worked on our electrical project have been professional, dedicated, trust-worthy and reliable. Truly top class.
It was an absolute pleasure doing business with A Class, with Rhys, Dan and their team. I found them professional, expert, informed, tireless. Nothing was too much trouble. The system they have set up - solar panels, batteries, EV charger - is the best that could have been done. Full marks to A Class.
We regularly clean vehicles for a class plumbing and electrical. We consistently deal with amy and hannah who are an absolute pleasure to deal with in aiding our work and bookings. Thanks
I recently had my boiler breakdown and contacted The A Class office,I spoke to Amy and Hannah who were incredibly helpful and sorted me out with an engineer in no time. They were super professional and efficient and my boiler was back up and running in no time. Thanks again girls. Fantastic team.
Had electrics thoroughly checked by a very pleasant gentleman named Tom who explained the procedure and kept us informed at all times. Would highly recommend.
I had no power to any of my upstairs lights for 3 months, I had been let down by two other electrical companies to come and figure out what was wrong with them. Ben came out, within 10-15 minutes told me exactly what was wrong, then fixed the issue and also told me what the next steps were if it were to happen again. I’ve not had any issues since. He had great communication, very professional and reliable. Definitely recommend.
My Solar & Battery System (Enphase based) was originally installed by a team of Engineers from A Class 2 years ago, which included Sam, who came today to do a (very thorough) check and service. As a premium installation, it'd great to have my system in the very safe & competent hands of Sam backed up by Rhys & John. If you want a great performing Solar/Battery install, then look no further than A Class Plumbing & Electrical who set a high standard of workmanship, technical know how and attention to detail. If you want an integrated premium system, then consider choosing Enphase Microinverters & Battery hardware and control software!
Really impressed with the service of solar and powerwall installation, communication has been on point from start to finish, and the guys were friendly, courteous and professional, they are grafters, would happily use Rhys and his team again for future works
I have used A Class for a number of years and have always been incredibly happy with the level of service provided. Today Dan and Zack came out to relocate and replace two radiators. The job was not as straightforward as first expected but they were super helpful - and positive that they could get it sorted! As always, I’m really impressed with the work they completed and would highly recommend A Class to anyone looking for a reliable plumbing company.
A Class fitted a replacement boiler for my 76 year old mother within 5 days of making contact. John the owner even left her with some heaters while waiting for the new boiler to arrive. The workmanship was of a high standard. The lads who fitted the boiler were professional and polite. They left the room spotless on completion. I can't praise this company enough. I would highly recommend.
Have been using A Class Plumbing for a good few years and I cannot fault them. Customer service is excellent, and the work carried out is of high quality. Will be continuing to use their services.
A Class wouldn't service my boiler as, at 17 yrs old, it had faults &, I was recommended, needed replacing, though my solar system was serviced. Yesterday a team of three worked together.efficiently, consistently and with good humour to fit a new boiler. Thank you very much indeed.
A-Class Plumbing did a great job installing our Air Source Heat Pump in Cleveleys. They went through the process from start to finish and did all of the required paperwork to obtain the necessary certificates and our installation grant from the government. All in all a thoroughly professional job that we're delighted with.
A class are my go to plumbers, they’ve done work for me in the past. This time I had been having trouble with my kitchen mixer tap and then…… it finally broke 😔 I was a bit nervous about it being replaced as its been installed for quite some time. Hannah was brilliant on the phone with me today and Dan the plumber was excellent. Its all sorted and the price was also reasonable. A million thankyou’s to Hannah and Dan!!!!! 👍😁
What a great company and a great team so pleased with everything especially now it’s costing hardly anything for my electric.
Shoddy in their customer service I'm an OAP who needs their consumer unit modernising they promised to get back to me but never bothered i have since been informed they like emergency callout work and charge per hour that's ok with me but don't make empty promises and leave vulnerable people waiting for an imaginary phone call ,very dishonest.
We recently had Rhys from A Class install our new solar system, and we couldn't be happier with the entire process! From the initial consultation to the final installation, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. The quality of their work and attention to detail was outstanding. We're already seeing the benefits in our energy bills. Thank you, Rhys, for a fantastic job! Highly recommended!
Paul and Curtis pulled off a long couple of days to get my new water tank installed. Was very happy to have hot water again. Thanks guys.
Visited my house to quote for electrical and plumbing. Never heard back even after chasing.
well all the rip off merchants havnt all been removed, they quote a price over the phone for a look. then charge you extra, so dont give details over the phone, find another company charged £72, for a nice clean van to go check a OAPS boiler, , didnt do anything but take a couple of photos and try and sell you a new boiler, shame on them.there less than an hour
I have recently used A-Class Plumbing & Electrical Ltd to install a new PV system including battery storage & associated inverter’s. In summary I am very pleased with my install, my A Class experience and I highly recommend them. A Class was recommended to me a by a neighbour who had a PV solution installed early 2023 and sang their praises. My initial contact with John ( the owner) was excellent, he is very knowledgeable (20 years of PV install experience) and helped guide me through the design of a solution that suited my house, and my aspirations. As we traveled through this process I saw the passion that John has for green energy and a desire to create a solution the met my needs. The design went through a couple of iterations for both components and price, and once we received the G99 approval it was full steam ahead. The scaffolding (Wyre Scaffolding) was excellent, the best we’ve had; it was both very sturdy and very Safe). The install onto a slate roof (29 panels) and into my loft (2 inverters, 4 batteries) took just 5 working days, and I met 6 members of the A-Class team. There were typically 3 on site at any time. All were very amiable, professional, hard working, Technically very competent, and took great care in ensuring their element of the install was undertaken to the very best of their abilities. Each step was photographed to provide visibility of the workmanship across the A-Class team, and there was a solid desire to create a solution in a very neat and tidy fashion. Dan, the on site team leader, and professional electrician kept me in the loop all the way through the install to ensure I finished up with the install I desired. He was excellent in this role. In conclusion I have really enjoyed the experience of the A-Class team, they are exceptionally good, and I can not recommend them enough. If you are after a PV / Battery install, look no further. They really are very good, I cannot think of anything they could have done better, other than sourcing some sunny weather on my first day of becoming a Power Generator. Many thanks A Class. A pleasure to write this review
Friendly efficient and most importantly honest. Rys is very knowledgeable and it shined through. He was not salesy or pushy which swayed our decision to use this firm. Ben who kept us well informed ran the job admirably, was very respectful and made sure everybody respected our house rules. Which were important because we have dogs. We had some plumbing done and also solar power. I have absolute confidence that if anything went wrong they would be out correct it without question.
The guys, Jack, Owen, Callum and Ben the Sparky were very professional, having removed the old boiler and piping, and fully installing and re-plumbing the new boiler in, even had to run new cabling in, but was no problem for them, the just got on and did what needed to be done, even staying extra on the 2nd day to make sure everything was running as it should, A Class are highly recommended and wouldn't use anyone else now for electrical or plumbing jobs
I won't be using these again for the simple reasons that I don't like to be forced to pay for a service upfront and the lads that turned up were miserable as sin.
A Class Plumbing and Electrical found a serious fault with our condensing central heating boiler during its annual service. This problem goes back to its inadequate (to say the least) installation by Discount Domestic Heating (DDH) of Cleveleys. The hot and acidic condensate from the boiler should be conducted along a plastic pipe directly to the sewer, but as the boiler is on the first floor and not on an outside wall, DDH had simply connected a short pipe to an old metal overflow pipe. This stuck out of an outside wall, dripping onto whatever was on the drive below – tarmac, people, car, front door. A potential hazard, which could ultimately weaken the building’s foundations. A Class immediately agreed to remedy this dangerous situation. Within a week Paul and Curtis had installed the correct plastic condensate pipes beneath floorboards, across a room, through an outside wall and safely down a pipe to an external drain. This was inevitably very disruptive for a short time, but they left the inside of our home even neater and tidier than they found it. Excellent work! This is our earlier review of their very efficient installation of new radiators Excellent is an over-used word but it isn’t adequate in describing the service A-Class Plumbing gave us. We learned a lot from Tony when he made an initial visit to measure and advise on replacements for our five aged radiators. Days later, Paul and Elliot arrived promptly to work well together until the job was done and all the rubbish was removed. The improvement in the heating system was immediate and very welcome in the next few days of frost of ice! DDH had failed to leave keys to open the water filter when they installed the Bosch Worcester boiler, but Paul soon had it open and cleaned, as well as flushing the whole system and adding a good dose of inhibitor. They really cared! Barry and Margaret Williamson, Thornton
Respond quickly, reliable, staff friendly and helpful
Ridiculously over priced, I never even made it passed the phone call. I now use Palmer Heating, Blackpool great price great service.
Was charged large sum of money for initial call out and nothing at all was resolved, tenant still left with no hot water, basically 140+ quid to tell me i needed a new cylinder which was followed by an extremely high quote to replace cylinder. When i asked for breakdown of costs they just got very defensive without actually providing a breakdown. Very strange and made me suspicious so i got other quotes and had the work done to a v high standard elsewhere and saved myself a ton of money.
Couldn't say as only asked to get a quote from them but found the quot to be to much £120 with out part part would be a further £83 so needless to say found other cheaper
Very friendly guy, john the owner. Helpful and efficient. I highly recommend this company.
Given an appointment , 3 hour time slot - - no one turned up. Phoned the company and it was closed. left a voicemail and no one had the courtesy to even return the call. AVOID.
I would not touch this company with a barge pole, after going through my insurance for a boiler break down a young man from a class plumbing called at my house, took 10 mins to look at my boiler and told me he would be back within a day or 2 as he didnt have the part with him . When he came back to fit the part he discovered he needed another part and asked me what my limit was on my insurance. After several days and no contact i had to start chasing up the plumber , i was promised a date for his return, he didnt show, i chased again, then contacted my insurance to find out what was going on, it was at this point i was informed that the cost was over my allowance and that i would have to put over 100.00 toward the repair, I was shocked as the plumber had already given me a rough estimate of costs and told me i would be within my limit on my insurance. I had been left for days with no heating or hot water over october/november period with 2 children . I had to resort to contacting trading standards to resolve my situation, as a good will gesture my insurance paid the full amount for me, as i also had to report A class plumbing receptionist/secretary (who i was informed was a family member of the business) for her attitude towards me telling "I suggest you watch your attitude when speaking to me if you want us to continue to help you". The nightmare has begun again after my mother who is a pensioner has also got a boiler breakdown, the plumber arrived assessed the boiler fixed it and went away,,he hadnt been gone long before the boiler stopped working and a re visit has had to be arranged, he now say the control button on mums insurance isnt covered but a class plumbing can fix the button for 100.00 plus parts. Mum rang the insurance to find out why and they explained to her that the plumber has told them she has a button she can press to get heating on...this is not the case,,,the insurance have now instructed another company to call at mums... Its some what strange that the call out has ended in 2 visits and become expensive ,,with a class plumbing gaining..It would appear children or oap are not taken into consideration when they CLAIM to offer A class service.
