MJ RYDER LIMITED is often praised for polite, friendly and efficient engineers and office staff. Reviewers commonly report prompt or same-day call-outs, and many say engineers tidy up well. Several praised the professional boiler and heating installations and explained the new systems clearly. Criticism includes one billing complaint about warranty work, one report of an incomplete gas fire service, and isolated accounts of poor customer service.
MJR are a wonderful local service. They intalled our boiler just5 years ago and have kept intouch eversince , office team very friendly and effient. Engineers prompt polite and very informative. Would highly recommend
Thorough annual service of my gas boiler by a company that pride's itself in providing a quality service.
M J Ryder Ltd is everything you would require from heating providers. Everyone involved, engineers, office staff and accounts are polite and extremely efficient.
MJ Ryder recently fitted a new Vaillant boiler and new thermostatic valves on our radiators. A quote was given promptly after the engineer's visit and the installation was carried out within 2 weeks. The 2 installers were polite and worked solidly for the day, keeping disturbance to the house to a minimum. They cleared up well as they went along and clearly explained how the new boiler and controls worked. Very happy with all aspects of the process.
Excellent service, good communication and understanding of our boiler.
Excellent local company, great value and good communication.
We have used my Ryder for several years now. A great service, very well priced, very well organised staff and engineers. It shouldn’t be such a rarity to find a company that consistently does what it says it will
We changed a hot air system for a new boiler, radiators etc. Everybody involved did a superb job ...thank you
Couldn't get my boiler to light in new office - called MJ Ryder and they were able to send someone out the same day which was fantastic. David was on time, incredibly polite and found the issue immediately. He serviced the boiler and we were good to go.
After deciding to leave British gas who should we turn to but M J Ryder. That was a number of years ago and in that time they have organised monthly service agreements on two properties in the district and kept everyone happy.. A recent new boiler installation, after price and manufacturers were discussed, meant bringing tenant and owner up to speed on the changes. What we appreciated was that an engineer was available in quick time to do the explaining. Many thanks for your efforts and we would recommend you to any of our friends...
Quick boiler service, polite engineer.
I have used Ryders for over 20 years, the crew are always on time, they get on with the job, more important they never have to come back, they always have the kit to complete the job and they ,.clean up afterwards
We had our new boiler fitted by Alex, Ben and Steve. They were polite, friendly and thoroughly professional and did a fantastic job. They were absolutely first class and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
Called these guys for first time off a recommendation. brilliant! Called me back quickly, and had someone on site same day. The guy that came on Site was brilliant. Credit to all at MJ Ryder. A fantastic first experience!
Very satisfied with the service provided by M J Ryder. Alex and Ben were so efficient installing our new radiators, keeping us informed all the way and also correcting an error on our boiler/advising us of the correct settings etc.We would definitely recommend
5* service. Had 2 boilers serviced, super efficient and just all round great guys.
Delighted to give M J Ryder a 5-star review. They service my central heating annually and yesterday replaced 6 radiators in a 100+ year old house, meaning every room in the house except for the kitchen and bathroom were affected. The two engineers (Alex and Ben) were efficient, professional and pleasant to have around and left everywhere clean and tidy. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
The engineers (Alex and Steve) were very efficient, worked quickly to install the new boiler and cleaned up the area superbly. Well done.
Another good job Airlock in radiators successfully resolved by very capable engineers who clean tidy and polite And very good with my dog who quickly became a friend !
was very happy with my service very professional polite All the staff l have spoke to have been helpful and friendly would recommend Thank you
M J Ryder have been looking after my Dad's boiler for a long time. They are really above and beyond when it comes to being sensitive to a customer's individual and changing needs. I recommend them 100%
Excellent and professional work from Alex and Steve. I would strongly recommend this company
Helpful, prompt, courteous and efficient. Quick to attend a problem and solve.
I have been using Ryders for a good few years now. I have a heat plan for my boiler. They have always been reliable, professional, efficient, and prompt . I highly recommend them.
Just had some work done on our heating system by Ryders. Excellent service at a good price. The two guys that carried out the work were friendly, polite and very obliging. They told us exactly what they were doing through the day and worked very hard. My daughter recommended them to us and said they are a brilliant company. She is right.
The technician was polite and left everything clean and tidy.
The annual boiler servicing was carried out today with the usual high standards. What was especially impressive was the arrival of an apprentice under the tutelage of the gas engineer. Really great to see a young man undergoing his (5 year?) apprenticeship.
Phoned on Saturday for an emergency call out. Returned the call within minutes. Came out the same day. Always get a text to let you know they are on route. Great service.Thank you.
Very happy to deal with this company. Reliable and friendly.
Fantastic service again! Very prompt and well mannered engineer,have 100% confidence in all the work carried out and would not use any other company,annual service carried out on a boiler fitted by MJ Ryder😁
Superb service from MJ Ryder.I have been using them for 10 years and they always been excellent. Very pleasant staff, a pleasure to meet them.
Have used MJ Ryder since I bought the house in 2017! Just had new boiler installed by Ollie, he was here pretty much all day on the hottest day of the year, Steve joined a bit later, both Engineers fabulous, kept me informed all the way through the installation, gave me a good demo of the new boiler and display and put up with my dog barking everytime they walked in! Thank you, genuinely can't recommend MJ Ryders enough
Ollie, with the help of a colleague, fitted our new boiler very efficiently, was able to answer all our queries and showed us how to operate the new boiler. Great job!
Spot on! Engineer arrived on time & completed the service efficiently. Nothing else required, because the Vaillant boiler was fitted by MJR and has always been serviced by MJR - and they are obviously very good at what they do.
MJ Ryder have been servicing my boiler for several years. Very pleased with the service we get. A once a year boiler service and call out if anything goes wrong. Because of the regular annual service, call outs are rare, if at all. The service plan is reasonably priced and suits our needs. We've also had our boiler replaced over the years and new radiators fitted. The engineers respect our property and give a great service.
A very efficient business polite punctual and very tidy will use again.
I am very unhappy to be invoiced for work that is clearly covered under warranty. A pump fitted as part of a boiler and hot water tank replacement failed after 18 months and the HIVE controls fitted 3 months ago was found to be incorrectly wired and not controlling hot water. After replacement of pump and correction of HIVE wiring I received an invoice for a significant sum. The engineer who finally attended to correct the work was excellent but the same cannot be said for the engineers who attended previously.
I recently needed a new boiler fitted and chose MJ Ryder to do this, having had previously good experiences using them. They turned up promptly, were really great guys and got on with the job promptly. They got the system up and running very quickly, flushed the system through and carried out the necessary checks all before the end of the day. The whole experience went really well and I had a fully working system once again. A great firm to work with. I’m a very happy customer and I would not hesitate to recommend.
John was efficient, knowledgeable and friendly, answering all my (stupid) questions helpfully and without judgement.
Great work provided by MJ Ryder. Their engineer Alex fitted our new boiler today and provided an exemplary service. I would heartedly recommend MJ Ryder - thanks again 👍
Highly recommend MJ Ryder. Alex and Joe came to install my new boiler today. They were fantastic! Lovely chaos, really knowledgeable! Tidied up afterwards and explained everything to me. Keep up the awesome work!
Great service all round, from booking and the engineer resolving the issue swiftly. Thoroughly recommend.
Just had our 10th annual boiler service under our plan with MJ Ryder and wanted to say how pleased we’ve been with their service over the the past decade. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable quality service
Excellent service in installing new Vailliant boiler. Charlie and Ollie were a pleasure to have working in the house and kept me informed throughout the process.
MJ Ryder came to my rescue in February 2025 and I couldn’t have hoped for a better company to contact. They helped me through a very stressful broken down boiler situation and I will be forever thankful. For Peace of mind I took out an annual service and support plan with them that costs me £10 a month / £99 a year. Each year they call you to plan in the annual service which has no additional cost and is at the customers convenience. This years service was carried out a few days ago and everything was taken care of, engineer was so very mindful taking shoes off before entering the house and clearing up after himself etc. Everyone is so helpful and polite it’s just so reassuring. MJ Ryder have me for life now. TY MJR
Very thorough servicing of the boiler by Steven, very friendly. Highly recommend this company
A relatively straightforward and non urgent call out under MJ Ryders Heatplan scheme resulted in a telephone call back within 15 minutes. Had I not been unavailable, they would have attended within 3 hours. The work was carried out the next day, in under one hour. An all round excellent service from all concerned.
I used MJ Ryder, to check the gas and heating system of a house I was buying, they did every check they said they would, they were very efficient and sent a report I could keep to proceed with any work in the future. The service team on the phone were also very efficient and knowledgeable and polite all in all excellent service Thankyou
Fantastic service levels and explanation and I would strongly recommend taking out the monthly service plan which costs us £10- pm. 100% recommend M J Ryder.
We had a new boiler fitted by MJ Ryder. They two fitters they sent did a great job. They were friendly,tidy and professional. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
These guys don’t mess about, straight direct service expertly fitted parts etc Give them a call, well worth it Cheers G W
We always find MJ Ryder staff friendly and very helpful, from the people who answer the phone and the service men that have been out to our boiler and water tank for a few years now. I would and have recommended MJ Ryder to other people too. Many thanks and pleas keep up your good work.
Heating stopped working on one of the coldest days and they were there within a couple of hours - well done M J Ryder!
Great service from the office and the engineer quick hassle free and tidy thank you
I have a service plan with MJ Ryder and have always been delighted with the service and friendliness of the team. This Christmas, however, they went above and beyond - the nightmare of my pressure tank leaking and coming through the ceiling! Despite being a Sunday night - I had a call back within an hour to advise me. I had a visit the following day and a new cylinder fitted the day after. This wasn’t straight forward, but Dan and Dave put their heads together to work out what needed to be done in a very awkward tight space. I was kept fully informed by the lovely Rhian back at base, who runs a tight ship - has a wealth of knowledge, and can reassure in a crisis! Thank you all, once again for sorting this so quickly at a very busy time of year for you.
Our boiler was losing pressure and rang to request service visit. This was quickly sorted for next day. Engineer arrived on time, identified the fault quickly and sorted the repair with Valliant. Their engineer came and fitted the new part next day. Excellent , professional service and the problem resolved quickly and we were kept up to date throughout . Highly recommend MJ Ryder and the Heatplan option .
Same day call-out to fix hot water issue. Very friendly engineer arrived within notified timeframe, giving notice of arrival, and promptly identified and fixed the issue. Excellent service from a local company.
MJ Ryder has serviced my boiler for quite a few years and the engineer David is a very nice young man and knows his job well. He his very professional and obliging.
Superb Company. Excellent service. We have known MJRyders for some 10 years giving an annual service to our boiler. As with all things mechanical at 13 years old, it irretrievably broke down. Ryders offered us informed advice and ways forward. We elected at this point for a new boiler. Supply an installation, while understandably not immediate, was swift. The two team members (names known and beginning with A & S) were well up to the high standards Ryders have always shown us. Well done Ryders (as usual!)
Excellent service, the two engineers that have called on us have both been so helpful, professional and efficient. John who installed our thermostat was very patient and did not rush when showing us how to set the app up and how it all worked.
MJ Ryder have been great to deal with. Very helpful and friendly, answered all my queries promptly. Office staff and plumbers who have come out to my property have been really super. Would use this company again.
Following a valve failure in our old boiler the service offered by M Y Ryder led me to decide that a new boiler was required and the company was booked to supply and install. Very efficient, very good, friendly but always professional and I am very happy with the outcome - happy to recommend.
Excellent service 👏 the engineer arrived when stated ! Completed the job quickly & explained everything very clearly & made sure all was good b4 he left. Would highly recommend these guys.
Alex and the team made a great job of fitting my new boiler. They were all polite and professional. I would highly recommend. C. Ribbon
I have recently bought a new property and am in the process of having an extension built. The boiler needed moving from the kitchen to the loft. As the boiler was originally fitted by M J Ryder I contacted them to carry out the work. After a site survey Charlie and Joe repositioned the boiler and all the work was carried out in a professional manner, they checked the system was working properly, explained the hive thermostat controller and left the site clean and tidy. Very satisfied, thank you
I recently had a new Valiant Plus boiler installed in my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. The service was exceptional from start to finish, and the team went above and beyond to ensure everything was running smoothly before the cold weather set in. What impressed me most was the engineers not only fitted the new Valiant Plus boiler but also linked the entire heating system, installed a brand-new flue, and carried out a thorough system clean. The result is a clean, efficient, and reliable heating setup that I can depend on. The level of knowledge and workmanship displayed by the team was outstanding. They explained what they were doing in plain terms, answered all my questions, and ensured each component was properly configured for optimal performance. With the new boiler, the house is now warm and toasty in time for Christmas. It’s wonderful to come home to a comfortable, evenly heated home. Alex was a standout team member who contributed from start to finish. Alex arrived prepared, guided me through the entire installation process, and took the time to show me how to operate the new system. His patient explanations and hands-on training have left me confident in managing the boiler daily. Alex’s dedication and continuity throughout the project truly made a difference. I would recommend for family and friends to use this company.
Gareth, from MJ Ryder, attended to carry out our first annual boiler service under their Heat Plan scheme. Dealing with them has been very efficient at every stage and the plan is good value, as well as giving peace of mind. Gareth turned up on time and was very friendly and professional carrying out the service. I would definitely recommend MJ Ryder.
We chose MJ Ryder to purchase and install a new boiler through recommendation from friends. The man who came out to quote was knowledgeable and didn’t push for us to buy through MJ Ryder. He took a long time to establish why we wanted a new boiler and whether the problems we were experiencing were actually connected to our current boiler. Once he established we did have a faulty boiler he advised the best one to replace it. We agreed and the boiler was fitted within the same week. The two young men that fitted the boiler which took one day were kind and efficient. They did not make a mess and explained fully how it worked before they left. All in all a very good experience. We would highly recommend M J Ryder. C Davies.
I have been an M J Ryder customer for many years. Their engineers, service and prompt response is exemplorary. This week my boiler failed, but they immediately came to my aid and repaired the problems. I cannot recommend this company highly enough. A🌟
Brilliant service and repair by engineer Andrew Ingham yesterday. Fantastic communication from the office. Highly recommend.
The engineer arrived on time, was very efficient, professional and polite.
Excellent service of our gas boiler by John, thank you. We appreciate the speed of the second recall visit to sort out small leakage problem, and thank you to Andrew and Amita for sorting it out so quickly.
Very happy with the service of my boiler. David arrived on time and was friendly whilst carrying out the service.
Excellent customer service. I phoned the company on the morning of 11 September 2025 about a fault with our gas boiler. The engineer came in the early afternoon and sorted the fault. My experience of M J Ryder Limited is very positive.
Excellent and efficient service from the start. Very tidy installation. From Oliver's first visit and Charles fitting a new hot water cylinder and getting things back working we were very happy with the whole process. Will definitely use them again if required. Highly recommended local company
Professional, friendly service from both engineers and admin. Recommended
The chap who came and did our Boiler at 6 Greengate Lane recently, Gareth was superb. He spent more time on our service than any other of your employees who have been before.He was pleasant and efficient. Thanks to him and the firm
Always friendly and professional! Would absolutely recommend them to anybody!
Excellent service, engineer very professional and polite.
A very pleasant individual. Happy with the checks made to our equipment.
Absolutely delighted with our new boiler supplied and installed by MJ Ryder. We’d had issues over time with poor water pressure, fluctuating water temperatures, faulty heating, faulty boiler - you name it we had it. I wished we’d had this work done years ago. From start to finish, we couldn’t have had a better job done. Charlie, Ollie and Joe made a major boiler installation from the kitchen to the loft look easy. The quote was fair, and we like to support a local business. The back up and after sales care is second to none: There’s always someone at the end of the phone if needed. At one point during the installation, we had holes in the brickwork where the old boiler system was removed and a team working solidly in the loft to install the new boiler. But it was all in a day’s work for the experts. The job was undertaken with minimal disruption, In fact, I hardly knew they were there. No endless tea breaks like some workers - this ensured that everything started and finished exactly within the timeframe I was given! Everything was left neat and tidy and the job was finished to a very high standard. I was amazed at the results and craftsmanship and am reassured that we have a reliable heating and water system from a company and people we can trust. Thank you to a top team. Professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
We have always received excellent service from MJ Ryder and I would highly recommend them.
Very prompt and comprehensive service of our boiler. Thank you
Always great service (annual boiler service yesterday), always reliable and always very good value for money - not sure what else I can say! We never use anyone else now, you know where you are and what you're getting with MJ Ryder ... simples!! 😃👍
Had a new boiler fitted, a new radiator put into a bedroom and hung flue moved. The team were fantastic. The price was very reasonable. Professional and quick (despite being very hot working in a loft) I wish I could have offered ice creams. Highly recommend!
I was recommended to use Ryder's by my son and have not regrettedmaking the move. Steven came last Friday to service boiler, radiators and gas fire. Did a thorough job, no issues were found and he was professional and polite throughout.
On time clean tidy thorough with work. Professional.
Paid £89.for a call out to be told my boiler still under warranty.........Surely it should be standard to ask how long I had the boiler .....as you are Valiant suppliers could have saved call out.
Arrived on time, very efficient, left area neat and tidy
Boiler replacement today and it could not have gone any better. Ollie was super friendly, informative and knowledgeable. We would definitely recommend. Quick quote, quick appointment time which worked around our needs and we are extremely happy. Thank you!!
Had a boiler service carried out by Andrew, he went above and beyond and I cannot recommend enough. Polite, professional and will be using again for years to come.
Just had a new boiler and revamp of pipes and cast iron radiators etc. The main engineer, Ollie, was excellent. Couldn’t have wished for a better or more capable person. Full marks to M J Ryder Ltd.
Over all, satisfied with MJR Ltd during the first year of an annual boiler/NEW gas fire, servicing contract. In addition, trusted them to service the entire central heating system also. However, there were issues with the 2nd annual service of the gas fire, which was incomplete (later verified by Gas Safe) & when queried about it around the time, MJR fobbed it off. Consequently, a few months post-service had reason to remove the coals myself - shocked to find the fire's matrix looking burnt out, ? safe to use - Sent photos to MJR to advise. The servicing engineer was to return & discuss - never happened. Instead, one of the senior staff came by (all this took place over weeks, during a cold late autumn, & with reply 'mails from MJR mostly unsigned so ? who was answering...) - not interested in checking the fire out himself, only then informing myself & the 2nd house-owner, that the photos by themselves proved the fire was dangerous, should no longer be used. He spent at least an hour discussing the situation with us, & because the fire was just over 2 years old, expensive (had been sold with a 15-Yr Guarantee), we asked for a written report such as had been promised at the start, to take back to the Retailer. Which also never materialized, despite several requests. Meanwhile, we'd learned that the latter engineer should have put an condemned strip across the fire, turned it off at the mains, & his failure to do so was therefore reportable to Gas Safe. Despite all the aggro/distress we'd had to press, we were reluctant to follow that route, & gave MJR the opportunity to put things right first. Only to receive their last incredulous response, in which it was 'confirmed' their latter engineer had only come by to discuss the coals... (We do still have all the communications/photos on tap...) Understandably, we cancelled that year's contract (most of which had been paid already) with MJR - in a letter to MJR directly - citing disappointment at how the situation had been handled, our now lack of confidence. No reply from MJR. Nor apology of any kind. Thus, given this experience, MJR's lack of accountability, would not ever consider the business, again.
Excellent response to an urgent matter. Engineer Andrew Ingram solved the problem quickly.
Just had my Vailant boiler serviced by Ryder's for the 5th year. John efficient and courteous as usual ... top marks.
Andrew the engineer was very prompt and knowledgeable he provided a great service.
Good experience with this local provider after disappointing service from British Gas. Professional articulate and courteous telephone reception staff followed by visits from friendly knowledgeable and efficient engineer. Will definitely use from now on. Many thanks.
Great customer service and helpful engineer
I would highly recommend MJ Ryder. My boiler stopped working and Rhian and the team were extremely helpful with giving options on new boilers and scheduling for the boiler to be installed quickly. The team that came to install the boiler were on time and clean and tidy.
MJ Ryder have always been excellent. We had a new boiler installed about 8 years ago and have the annual services completed. The team are always friendly and professional. Steven T who visited today was polite, friendly and left no mess behind. Fantastic service.
Had a major problem with my boiler in February, contacted MJ Ryder who responded the same day,unfortunately a part had to be ordered but it was only a few day before an engineer arrived,Steven was brilliant, he was friendly, courteous and very efficient, he carried out the repair with little fuss and only left when we where happy, Very happy with every aspect and would recommend MJ Ryder
Pre-Booked annual service. Service Engineer arrived punctually, with text message alert & reminder text yesterday. Full checks etc done in 30 minutes.
John turned up on time, polite and professional. He had taken the time to refresh his memory of our last service and so was ready to get to work. Respectful of our property he took care to ensure our cats were not phased by the service and by a stranger in the house. Work seems to have been done professionally and we feel confident our heating system had a good service.
MJRyder are fantastic! From Rhianne in the office to the team of heating engineers...great communication and skilled diagnostics. Thought I needed a new boiler...but a wiring fault was diagnosed and should be fixed in the next couple of days when the part arrives. What a team! My first port of call for anything heating related.
A huge ‘thank you’ to the team at M J Ryder. We recently had our old boiler replaced and from start to finish the communication, installation and professionalism was first class. A special ‘thank you’ to Rian who sorted out some initial teething problems. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was sorted. We now have a lovely warm house. We would highly recommend.
Came back from holiday to find my boiler not working and an error code T1 .. spoke with Rian.. she was amazing .. I’m rubbish at trying to fix things but she talked me through it and I actually manage to fix the water pressure on my boiler .. this saved me having to stay in and pay for someone to come out … awesome service by this firm .. thank you
great response to kaput boiler - swift replacement organised and installation brilliant!
Many Thanks to the Team a M J Ryders for professionally fitting our excellect new bolier. The enginners were prompt, polite, very friendly and tidy. we will certainally use them again and will recommend them to friends and collegues. Best wishes Tim.
Wow from phoning with our problem it was less than an hour for the engineer to turn up. Then we had an amazing professional service carried out by Andy. 10/10
A very happy experience with Oliver and Alex around, very unobtrusive when we were in the house. Quality of work done was excellent and they were very clear with instructions and guidance with everywhere left clean and tidy afterwards. Thanks Guys
Thank you for replacing our time served old gas boiler and control systems. MJ Ryder stood out at the quotqtion stage, and the installers were all very professional and helpful in keeping us in the loop asthe job progressed. Altogether a very pleasant experience.
I've been a customer of MJ Ryder for over five years and have consistently received outstanding service. Their heat plan simplifies keeping up with boiler maintenance, and the engineers are always punctual and friendly. I couldn’t ask for better service.
We have just had MJ Ryder replace our old boiler and we are thrilled. The lad turned up on time and was very professional and happy to answer any questions along the way. All pipe work was replaced as the previous fitter (15+ years ago probably had a white stick and a Labrador) had not fitted the flu properly and the pipe work was all over the place. He worked in a very tidy manner and left our property all clean and tidy including out on the driveway, all rubbish was taken away without question. All in all I would highly recommend MJ Ryder and will continue to use them going forward. We took out boiler care a couple of years ago and they have rescued us on a couple of occasions. Many thanks to the M J Ryder team A+++++++
We received a quote for work to be done, and the quote very clearly stated that our gas stove was to be connected at a later date after new piping and fittings were installed. We paid in full, however, upon requesting that a gas technician come and finish the work, we were told we needed another quote for this. (If possible I will attach the quote and email response) This is unacceptable. I feel that not only were we lied to, but there was absolutely no attempt to resolve the situation (through multiple emails). As a service engineer myself, I would never do this to a customer and I will not be recommending them to anyone. If a company is willing to lie and not fix their own mistakes, then they have no integrity whatsoever. [Edit] I have spoken with a representative of the company and, while I do not excuse that my wife was lied to, I can appreciate the attempt to resolve our issue. It appears that we were not overcharged for the service we received, we simply did not receive the service we requested. Upon clarification, it appears that despite my wife making it very clear that we would want our appliances attached and inspected at a later date as part of this quote in order to get the safety certificate for the work, the quote we were given did not actually include the cost of performing the the hook-up and safety inspection. MJ Ryder has, however, offered to perform this service for us without an additional charge. If a company is willing to put forth effort to correct a situation, then they are worth more than a single star rating. It is never my intention or desire to harm a business by reviews, however, reviews are the only recourse we have in situations where we are potentially defrauded by service providers. I will change my rating to reflect the effort to resolve the situation, however, I am still leaving this review in place until the issue is fully resolved. I was given no explanation as to why my wife was lied to instead of resolving the situation in the first place, however, I was given apologies and accept their offer to rectify the mistake.
Great work - called last week, they came in this morning to provide a quote and then the office called and said they could do the job today. Fixed a radiator that I thought would have to be replaced, swapped out an analogue thermostat for digital one and capped off my gas supply to my hob - all ina couple of hours. Highly recommend.
This company installed an electric shower for me a few years back and did such a good job when I needed to upgrade my boiler I wanted to give them the opportunity to quote. The guy arrived on Tuesday and e-mailed me a price which was very competitive so decided to go ahead. Price agreed on Tuesday afternoon ... by Thursday afternoon the boiler was installed and up and running! I could not have wished for a more professional service and would add the customer service experienced from both the office and onsite personnel was excellent. I cannot recommend this company highly enough. Thank you!
Brilliant company, excellent service and advice. Good tidy efficient engineers.
Great communication, flexibility, customer service and prompt to action various quotes which all led to a professional boiler installation. Rian and the team of engineers are all top drawer, thank you!
Yearly boiler service reminder sent out Reminder of the service the day before Prompt arrival at time scheduled and reliable workers
Very quick, clean and professional service. Polite and efficient service engineer. Peace of mind for pennies a day.

Amazing service! We lost hot water they came the next day, then replaced the boiler a few days later. They were no hassle and so helpful.
Can’t Recommend this Company Highly Enough.From me phoning Last Monday Morning about a Problem with our 12yr old Boiler a Engineer called Monday Afternoon and explained the two Faults would cost about £600 to repair so we decided on a new boiler which was fitted on the Thursday.Customer Service was brilliant Throughout 👍👍10/10+

Excellent engineer who resolved our underfloor heating issues.
Really pleased with our recent boiler install. Great quote, communication and efficiency of installation. Would recommend to anyone.
Excellent service that is reliable. Thanks
The MJ Ryder team, both engineers and the office staff have been professional and helpful. They completed a tricky job in a timely fashion and both myself and my tenants were very pleased.
Used them for my boiler service, great communication, the guy who came was very nice, chatty and professional ! Definitely will continue using them for all our boiler needs. Highly recommend
MJ Ryder installed a new boiler to our house 3 years ago and the service we have received has been outstanding. We have used this local, independent company as a family for over 30 years and they have never let us down. It is a services with a smile every time and nothing is to much trouble. I could not speak highly enough of them. Thank you again to the fantastic team.
Very pleased with service and left my property very tidy after new boiler was fitted.
What a lovely lad Charlie is did a good tidy job and explained everything
The company must be run by a fantastic boss as everything about this company is excellent. Staff, service and attitude. Highly recommended!!
It is easy to recommend The M J Ryder team. They are polite, tidy and efficient., They are also highly skilled and know their boilers, pipes and heating systems inside and out - literally. They explained exactly what they were doing and why. They may not be the cheapest, but if you want a good job that you can trust, use them. They go the extra mile every time. Thank You, M J Ryder.
As a tenant who had just moved into a new property, I was struggling to get the boiler working as it was just throwing up error codes. MJ Ryders number was on a sticker on the front of the boulder so decided to give them a call, and the lovely lady was able to give me exact instructions on how to get the hot water and the radiators working again! Super professional and helpful! Would definitely recommend.
advice and installation first class
Many thanks to Rian for answering my checkatrade enquiry promptly, telling me to youtube topping up my boiler so I could do the job for free myself. I can have a bath now yay.
Excellent service, the guys from MJ Ryder were extremely professional, tidy, friendly-couldn't fault. We opted for a floor mounted unit and it looks discrete-thank you all for a great service and install Donna
Very racist staff, tried cutting off my brother and continued calling him a paki, when he was challenged he drove off. When we rang the company they continued to laugh at the situation and ignored it actually happened. This is not the first time it has happened Aparantly. People need to make aware
Thankyou so much for the installation of my new wet heating system. Everyone so knowledgeable, turned up when arranged, communicated well along the way and did a great installation leaving me with heat which I appreciate so much! I would recommend this company without reservation.
We contacted MJ Ryder as our heating was not working in our office, from the initial conversation I had with Rian they were nothing but exceptional. The level of customer service that was delivered was outstanding, both from Rian and all of the guys that attended our office, at all times keeping us totally updated with what was happening. If I could score this company higher I would, totally honest, trustworthy and reliable - even getting here in the snow! Thanks guys, we now have heat.
Isn't it just fantastic to come across a company that is excellent all round !
Called today as my heating wasn’t working and spoke with RyAnn. She was so helpful in and encouraged me to trouble shoot my boiler. I was terrified and followed her instructions over the phone. My heating then started working. Thank you so much for your help because we’d be freezing ( 3 year old, 3 month). They’ve come out to my old key as well and service has always been great. Highly recommend.
Very understanding that I needed my hot water back on as it does my heating (water pressure had gone) for my daughter so she doesn't get cold(4 months old). Very quick and efficient
WOW what great service by the whole team. They went above and beyond in their attempts to get my boiler back up and running. Couldn't recommend them more highly, and their Heat Plan is well worth taking out. thanks guys you were great.
Signed up to MJ Ryder Heat Plan - Great service from Amita through the process and then visited by Dan today to review our system - All good, best to support a local company, so far good service, prompt, detailed and professoinal.
A very professional service delivered in a very personal manner.
Excellent, use them for two gas contracts and couldn't be happier with the service. Enquired about their bathroom showroom today and Tim followed it up with a phone call, once again v impressed. Strongly recommend.
Excellent installation of new boiler. Very friendly, smart, and highly skilled engineers. They did a very thorough job, removing all waste and leaving the kitchen immaculate. Superb in every way. Highly recommended.
From the initial emergency call-out to the boiler replacement everything was done to a high standard, by very courteous and knowledgable engineers. They arrived on time and got on with the work with very little fuss. Dan got the boiler working very quickly, and after discussion decided that it was time to replace the 20 year old boiler before it let us down again, probably in winter when needed most. They provided a quote for the replacement very quickly and at a very reasonable price. Within a week of the breakdown we had the new boiler installed. Everything is very neat and they cleaned up after themselves. They were very friendly and after the installation took time to explain the workings of the boiler and what to do and watch out for in the coming days. Excellent. Also whenever you contact the office, the staff there are friendly and understanding of the problems. All round a very pleasant experience from a great company.
I originally reviewed M J Ryder after a couple of incidents where their performance certainly left plenty to be desired. They contacted me very quickly after I posted the review, apologising profusely and coming to an understanding that they would do everything they could to restore my faith in their business. A a result I withdrew the review. However I have recently discovered that post the removal a member of the M J Ryder team thought it okay to then ‘bad mouth me’ to a third party! The original review was along these lines: To be transparent we were renting a lodge long term on a Park. 1. M J Ryder’s engineer had to come to visit our residence as an emergency on a Saturday morning. Not was the repair not carried out effectively but all he did was bemoan the fact he should have been somewhere else and this was eating into his personal time! He even had the audacity to tell me the boiler in our residence was a cheap and nasty boiler with no longevity (not really my problem - I just wanted hot water and heating). 2. Further visits failed to resolve the issues we were experiencing. 3. On another visit we were booked in for an afternoon appointment - all arranged with an individual in the M J Ryder office. We had cancelled plans to be out for the whole day in respect of this but went out in the morning. We returned and waited in the afternoon. Late on, after no one had materialised we contacted M J Ryder to find out what was going on. We were bluntly informed that we were wrong and that the appointment was booked for the morning and that their engineer had already been given access to our residence without us being there! We did not even receive a courtesy call to say that this had taken place. The lady at M J Ryder became rude and put the blame on our doorstep! She clearly had no respect (or understanding) for customer service, let alone our privacy and refused to understand our anger at being invaded without anyone present. This sort of behaviour is unacceptable and should not be allowed to happen to any customer. Having since found out that the lady referred to above, actually bad mouthed us to the owner of the lodge (after receiving a full apology) is a disgrace! I have no qualms in advising to be very wary of this business.
Great service, responsiveness and flexibility.. Got our heating working again after boiler failed. The engineers were excellent as was the support and communication with the office.
So. My heating went off on Saturday morning, called M J R, phone answered quickly, engineer booked for an afternoon appointment on the same day with a promise of a call 30 minutes before arrival. Dan called 35 minutes before arrival, knew the position of the boiler in the house, as he had help fit it, diagnosed the fault straight away, had the spare part in the van, fitted it, left the place in clean and good order. Showed me the parts he’d removed and replace. A shout out for Dan, who was polite and courteous throughout his visit. All parts and labour covered by my Heat Plan thing. Amazing service, can’t fault. Last review 2 years ago An amazing firm, we have used them for years. The new boiler went in really easily, with no loss of heating. The workmen left the place really tidy. Their Heat Plan is like British Gas's 3 Star HomeCare, only its 5 Star, local, independent and costs less.
Absolutely disgusting service from this company that unfortunately my landlord use for maintenance. They came out, couldn't find the issue even though it's the second time it's happened, said he needs to come out when it's faulting and left. None of this really bothered me and made some elements of sense. What was absolutely disgraceful was the state in which he left my property in which I am responsible for the upkeep of. Huge muddy footprints on my carpets with no apology, no offer to clean. Very unprofessional.
From start to finish the experience of working with the MJ Ryder team was first class. The initial quote was diligent, clear and competitive. The installation team started and finished precisely on time, worked without interruption in a highly professional manner and were extremely helpful and courteous throughout the process. The office support has also been of the same high quality.
Called regarding a burst pipe. MJ Ryder were the only people available to come out and showed sympathy to our situation whilst on the phone. Thet squeezed us in at short notice so we could get our water back on. Their engineer, Andrew, arrived on team and was polite,, professional tidy and worked well. He left no mess. He did an excellent job and we were billed as agreed. I would recommend MJ Ryder.
Can't fault them, friendly, professional and thorough.
Fantastic. Helpful and swift
From the initial telephone contact with Rian who was so helpful and understanding to the visits from all of the engineers, including Jack, Tom, Charlie and Kieron we have been so impressed and highly recommend this company. We found that they don’t mess around, they do what they say and have visited very speedily and explained things without going down the complex or jargon routes. They will be our ‘go to’ company for plumbing and heating. Thank you all, it is very much appreciated.
Very helpful, informative and friendly staff. Very good service options. Very clean and tidy when fitting appliances
From when Kieron came to discuss the system options to when Ollie and his team of Simon, George, Charlie and Tom completed the boiler installation, we felt confident that we were dealing with professionals. The new heating system was installed within the projected timescale, efficiently and with consideration and good humour. Throughout, Rian was a vital link in communications. A Gold to Team MJ Ryder.
Was happy with the boiler service. The engineer was punctual and very polite.
Couldn't get the job done in the end due to to high cost due to my water pressure. But Simon was awesome guy thanks for your help and advice.
Good. plenty of information
Fast service and fixed my boiler no probs. Thanks
M J Ryder have looked after boiler maintenance at our rental properties as well as our our own house. We have always found them to be professional and reliable, providing advice and guidance when needed. I have no hesitation in recommending them. Derek Newton
Our Boiler stopped working in the frozen weather. They called out promptly with a friendly and professional manner. Great job, great customer service, great company!
The old boiler was removed, the new one fitted and commissioned with the minimum of fuss. This happened within 10 days of the estimate being received and agreed. Content customer, thank you.
Came to repair a 28 year boiler, clear in pros, cons and costs of repair versus replacement. All staff great from first point of contact. Reliable and professional service, clean work and great at updating me as to progress of job. Used MJ Ryders before and will use them again. Many thanks.
A massive note of thanks to the MJ Ryder team. We've had reduced/no hot water for the best part of a month. Our previous heating engineers having visited 3 times were unable to fix the problem, however, the MJ Ryder team found the problem and quickly rectified it. Great service which I can absolutely recommend. Graham
Excellent, friendly and helpful service. Careful workmanship and attention to detail. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
Fantastic and professional work by Lewis. Always on time. He explained everything to me. His work was so neat and tidy. The service I received was fabulous from the start. Great service from a great company
5 star service! Called this company as our boiler died on us and they were amazing. Had a replacement boiler quote to me that same day and it was fitted two days later. Rian in the office was incredibly helpful and friendly. Stephen who fitted the boiler was friendly, knowledgeable and did a great job tidying up afterwards. Cannot recommend this company enough.
Nice work once again. Good company.
Excellent and trouble free service from start to finish. Very positive and friendly staff.
I have been using this company for over ten years. They are reliable and provide an excellent service. My central heating boiler broke on New Years Eve. Ryders had an engineer on my doorstep first thing on New Years Day, and he got it working. It did need replacing, some weeks later, which they carried out with their usual efficiency. Their staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the service they provide is great. I have no hesitation in recommending this company.
Arrived promptly for an initial assessment of a problem with hot water in a house we had just moved into and asked us to monitor over the next few days. On a second visit (no second call out fee) they listened to our feedback and got stuck in to resolving the issue satisfactorily. Also, very friendly and helpful staff on the phones at their offices.
I was extremely impressed with this company. We recently replaced our central heating system and the company were amazing. Everyone was polite and courteous. The house was left tidy at the each day that the workmen were at our house. I am completely satisfied with all aspects of my dealings with everyone at this firn. The foreman ,Steve, was knowledgeable and nothing was ever too much trouble. I would highly recommend this company.
I've used this company twice now and both times I've been very impressed by the service, standard of work, communication and price. I will definitely use them again for any electrical work I require.
I have had M J Ryders to my house now on a few occasions to do electrical work the guys are pleasant & professional the workmanship is to a high standard I would highly recommend this company
I would highly recommend this company. They are helpful and professional at all times.
Un-vented water cylinder fitted. Professional and helpful advice before fitting with all options explained. The fitting team were excellent, we could not fault them. They were efficient, courteous and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. They also did a fantastic job of clearing up afterwards. I only leave reviews when the service received has been really good and this was. Would definitely recommend. Mr and Mrs B Knaresborough.
Arrived on time, explained what the issue with the radiator was and how to sort it myself if it happens again. Would highly recommend.
Very efficient and prompt service. Did exactly what they said they would do and were very punctual. Thanks!
