Many reviewers describe DSS Heating and Plumbing Ltd as friendly and professional, with several reporting polite engineers, tidy work and good communication. One reviewer says the firm sorted a leak and replaced a wet room floor to a high standard, while another reports a new bathroom finished well. A reviewer describes a new boiler fitted next day and a kind response during illness. Criticism is also reported: one reviewer says rubbish was left behind after a fireplace job and not collected despite an apology, and another describes repeat boiler work and extra quotes that did not fix the heating. One reviewer calls the company unfriendly and unprofessional.
Great service, got everything sorted super quickly and a very friendly plumber
I hired DSS Heating and Plumbing to investigate and repair a persistent leak in my wet room, which I knew would require some serious attention as it had been causing problems for quite some time. I don't usually write reviews unless I've had a negative experience, but on this occasion I felt a review was both necessary and thoroughly deserved. From start to finish, this company impressed me with their professionalism, communication, and quality of workmanship. From the very first visit to provide a quotation from Damo, I felt confident that I was in good hands. The team took the time to explain in detail what they believed needed to be done, while also making me aware of potential issues that might only become visible once work began. Given the nature of the damage, I appreciated their honesty and transparency from the outset. Throughout the process, I was kept fully informed from Trisha about progress, ordering times, and the anticipated start date. I was advised that, taking everything into account, I could potentially be without a bathroom for two to three weeks. However, I was reassured that they would work as efficiently as possible without compromising on quality, and they certainly delivered on that promise. Jamie arrived when they said they would, always on time, and worked quickly and efficiently throughout. Jamie who was carrying out the work was polite, hardworking, and a pleasure to deal with. He was happy to answer questions, kept me updated on progress, and clearly took great pride in his work. Considering the amount of disruption involved in removing and completely replacing the old wet room floor, I was genuinely surprised by how tidy everything was kept. Tools and equipment were organised, disruption to the rest of the house was kept to a minimum, and it was obvious that time had been taken at the end of each day to clean and tidy the work area. Even better, the project was completed sooner than originally estimated, which was a welcome bonus. The finished result has exceeded my expectations and the quality of the workmanship is clear to see. There's a saying that you get what you pay for, but in this case I honestly feel I received far more than I paid for. It's rare to find a company that combines excellent communication, reliability, professionalism, and high-quality craftsmanship so effectively. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them to others. A genuinely professional and trustworthy company that has done a fantastic job. Thank you!
A gas engineer came to disconnect the gas supply to a fireplace. He was quite chatty and not in a hurry showing me a lot of pictures of his dogs on his phone and talking about various things. When he finished the work, he tossed the gas cable in front of me in my flower bed on my front garden and said his van was too full to take away all the rubbish and material he removed from the fireplace. The rubbish and fireplace frame were inside a box that I provided to him because he did not bring anything with him to put the rubbish in. That box would easily fit in a small car. I was too shocked when he just tossed the gas cable into my flower bed that I did not protest and just wanted him to leave my property. I then received an invoice charging me an extra amount for what we agreed on for a 15 minute extra work time. I emailed and spoke on the phone to Trish and explained what had happened. Trish told me she is appaled by what happened and this is not the quality of service the company strives to provide and apologised. Trish said she would send someone as soon as possible to remove the rubbish from my property,. At my request, (it was not offered to me as a good gesture unprompted) they removed the 15 minute extra charge. However, a month later they have not come back to remove the rubbish from my property. Of course I took it to the tip myself after 2 weeks of waiting for them. So I do not really recommend this company.
Edited: Evidence of the quote added (Edit 8th June 2026) Since you love lying so much, I have added the quote with the spirit of salt and cutting out the air separator violating BS7593. We went through Countrywide to have DSS resolve the heating problem for our tenant. Not including the number of call outs they charge. They quoted for a work to fix the boiler without advising for a boiler replacement. They charged £936.00 to carry out work for the boiler including using spirit of salt as stated on their quotation. Immediately after carrying out the work the radiator started leaking and still no heating for the tenants. They then quoted for a power flush for £864.00 and follow up with a 1 year Glow-Worm boiler for £3,517.33. The last quote includes another power flush. Double charging? We raised this issue regarding their warranty with Vaillant (parent company of Glow Worm) and they said this is against their practice for an approved installer. This is not the standard warranty offered for a new boiler. We have decided to not to take up the additional quotes and the boiler failed again in a couple of weeks. This is an incompetent, unethical and predatory company. Contemplating taking relevant actions with related authority. Best avoid.
Dean did a great job identifying an issue with my kitchen tap and fitted a new one at the same time. He was kind, helpful and reassuring throughout, providing an excellent service and treated our home with respect. This is an excellent company and I will not hesitate to get in touch if i ever need help in the future. Thank you.
Very happy with my new bathroom. Cleaned up as they went along. Kept me informed every step of the way. The helpful and polite lad that did the bulk of the work is a credit to this company. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend.
We used DSS based on a recommendation from Cambridgeshire Bathrooms when doing our upstairs bathroom renovation earlier this year. We were really impressed by their service from start to finish, staff were polite and professional and overall pleasure to work with. Any hiccups we faced DSS resolved these very professionally and made us glad we chose an all in one company to install our renovation. We would recommend and use again.
I highly recommend DSS Plumbing and Heating. They recently removed an old bath—managing to keep it intact despite the difficulty—and transformed the space into a stylish wet-room-style shower. They also repaired the toilets, which now flush perfectly. Throughout the entire job, they were respectful and considerate of the very elderly homeowner. Nothing was too much trouble for them, right down to cleaning the carpets thoroughly when the work was finished. The quality of their workmanship was excellent, and everything was completed at a reasonable price. We couldn’t be happier with the service provided and wouldn’t hesitate to use DSS Plumbing and Heating again.
Extremely happy with the service at DSS all the way from initial design of our heat pump system to support after install, very professional throughout. Post install support has also been excellent with Tom in particular going above and beyond to help me even out of regular hours
Thank you so much for installing a new kitchen tap at such short notice. It was making such a dreadful banging sound. Very much appreciated.
Called Monday as boiler broke Saturday, quote given & so kindly offered to fit new boiler the next day because I was undergoing chemotherapy for cancer. From the young man who came to assess to a different fitter the next day, so polite, tidy, explained what he was doing at all stages. Great service, price & overall would highly recommend!
I have used DSS for my annual boiler service for several years. They always do a great job. Their engineers are knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. I would highly recommend.
I can’t recommend DSS Heating and Plumbing highly enough. I’ve had three different members of their team at my home, and every one of them was professional, reliable, and clearly took real pride in their work—treating the job as if it were their own house.
Had an issue with our boiler, Dean was our engineer. I can not recommend enough. He was so knowledgeable and explained everything throughly. Really nice man and great customer service. Thank you 😊
DSS replaced our old boiler to a combi and fitted new valves and other works. All done at a very reasonable price and excellent service. Would recommend
Fantastic service throughout. New plumbing and heating work for two bathrooms - completed to a high standard, with brilliant customer service and all at a fair price - very happy customer!
Exceptional service from the first phone call into the office to Adam coming and completing the job. Adam was professional, reassuring and very friendly whilst completing the work and I would have no hesitation in recommending this company and Adam to anyone needing a plumber. With grateful thanks.
A great experience having a new pump fitted in our hair salon. Prompt replies, smooth installation, clean tidy and all round professional Will certainly recommend and use them again Many thanks
Last year, DSS installed a replacement Vaillant boiler plus three radiators. A great team effort from a friendly and experienced team. Their powerflush of the entire system was carried out over 2 days and made a huge improvement to efficiency of the radiators and hot water tank - a vital element of the job, I strongly recommend. This year Dean completed the first annual service of boiler and filter system, explaining the items of the work and offering very helpful advice. Very pleased with all their work. Highly recommended.
I needed a small plumbing job done urgently for my mother-in-law. Ken came out at short notice to do it. He was prompt, efficient, tidy and courteous. Great job. Thank you DSS Heating & Plumbing.
We have just had DSS install a new downstairs shower/utility room for us. Everyone in the office made the process really easy - helping us out with sourcing parts, getting a good deal on tiles etc., and cooardating the project itself. It was a pleasure working with them.The actual work has been done to a really high standard and we're very happy with the end result. Would definitely recommend
Top quality service from DSS. Needed a new boiler, had 2 other plumbers quote the world and 1 clearly overpricing. DSS came in and had it all done within the week and the guy that came round was respectful, honest and clearly communicated everything to us. 100% recommend these guys if you want an honest, fair and top quality job done.
Fantastic service from DSS. Very happy with the work they completed at my property. Highly efficient and great communication - would definitely recommend and I will certainly be using their services again myself.
Amazing service. Refitted our kitchen and bathrooms. Quotes a very fair price, all the work was finished to the highest of standards. Really friendly staff. Also use for our boiler services, on time and efficient every time.
During the cold spell we were having problems with our heating system, Damian was very friendly and came incredibly quickly. Sorted out the problems as well as explaining to us how to get the most out of our central heating and save money. Highly recommend this Company, Fantastic service and reasonably priced.
Amazing from Start to finish - these guys really put in the work on our new house. Couldn’t recommend them enough!
Amazing team and top quality work, I will definitely be using DSS again in the future.
Having lived in St Ives for quite a years I’ve used DSS on numerous occasions in all of my properties, from boiler replacements to full central heating systems, along with 2 full bathroom renovations I can’t thank Damien and his team enough, very knowledgeable, punctual and professional. 5 stars ⭐️
Well what can I say about this firm DSS plumbing. If I was to mark them out of 10, it would be 10. The reason is that I am a qualified plumber ,and a qualified on-site assessor, and teacher for 10 years at City and Guild level. I wouldn't hesitate to use this firm as far as I am concerned they have achieved an excellent standard of workmanship, and after sales service.
Unfriendly, unprofessional, useless.
5 star service... could not ask for any from start to finish. Would highly recommend this company to anyone.
Was recommended by a friend and have been over the moon with the works carried out, as well as always receiving excellent customer service.
Friendly and professional We’ve used DSS for multiple jobs now and are always impressed! They go above and beyond and we happily recommend them to everyone we know
Top quality service from start to finish, engineers were polite and courteous throughout. Really happy with the finish of my new bathroom 10/10

Excellent service, recommended to me by a friend, came down from Cambridge to me in London, was here for an 8:30am start, a 2 hour journey. Excellent customer service throughout. Left the house really clean. House is finally warm! Great workmanship.
Fantastic company. Very professional, tidy and reasonable on the price. Extremely happy with my new bathroom & central heating system they installed. The workers were always on time and was very polite and helpful throughout the job. Highly recommended DSS Heating & plumbing ltd 5 Star service ⭐️
Extremely happy to have found this wonderful business. Great advice & super service. In particular Trish was absolutely wonderful - she went way way above and beyond anything I could have hoped for to help with sourcing appliances & solving problems, and was amazing at communicating & problem solving throughout. A really well run business with good engineers and excellent customer service!
I used DSS Heating and Plumbing to help me with installing the smart thermostat at home. The installation process was super quick and mess-free, everything was explained. The engineer was professional and kind; overall customer service was outstanding. Highly recommended! Thank you so much for your service😊
I cannot praise this Company enough for the work they did on my bathroom!! Super friendly and helpful! The lads were lovely and the house was left spotless! We will be using DSS again!
Great company! team was super friendly, and they did a fantastic job with my central heating system. I couldn't be happier with their service. I definitely recommend them!
Replacing 9 radiators. Outstanding in every aspect from office and plumbing to early morning deliveries. I had the privilege of having the Dream team of Steve and Harvey! Not a second of time was wasted by either of them plus great care taken to produce a high standard of work. Steve went above and beyond to make sure my radiator pipes were more aesthetically pleasing!! Transparent and fair pricing and I felt I had good value. I would highly recommend.
Shocking
We've used DSS twice, once to fix a complicated issue caused by another plumber (which they kindly resolved for us quickly) and another time to bleed our radiators, the tech was so efficient he managed to sort out two radiators which we thought were broken! I finally feel like we've found a company we can trust with Heating etc and will definitely use them going forward.
