When it was time to replace our gas boiler we obtained competitive quotes, but decided to place the job with Able due to previous good experiences with the company. The installation went smoothly, our engineer was friendly and professional, he worked hard, and was respectful of our property. Everyone we've had dealings with since starting to use Able, from office staff to engineers, has been great. I don't hesitate to recommend them.

We have had Able replace our entire heating system boiler and radiators, was very nervous how this was going to be done whilst still in the property but could delay no longer. Able reassured me that they could do this. So they sent me Jamie and Ollie two of the nicest young men, they were polite and caring, taking time to explain what they would do each day. It was not an easy job for them but they were solution focused. They ensured that they left us with heating on before they left even though it meant staying late some days. They are a great company that give a great quality service would highly recommend to anyone.

We have used Able Plumbing and Heating for years, from refurbishing our ensuite around 6 years ago to continuous annual services of our gas boiler central heating. Service has continued to be excellent and we've been very pleased with Matt and his team. We have now had to replace our 25 year old gas boiler, as it has reached the 'condemned' stage of its life, but Able Plumbing suggested the Worcester Bosch Greenstar 4000 with Hive control system as an excellent replacement. That is now up and running, and despite a couple of minor hiccups, the new system is working well. Additionally, the team installed a couple of new radiators, including changing one to a new heated towel rail in the bathroom. Again, an excellent job. Thanks to all the team and best wishes to everyone at Xmas and for 2025.

This is now my 2nd time using Able, they are a great and efficient team. I had sent in an enquiry yesterday morning after not being able to get my heating to come on. I had an engineer with me within 2 hours of being told they would be with me at some point in the afternoon. They guys quickly figured out the problem and had it fixed in no time. Could not be happier with the serviced received and also how reasonably priced they are. Cannot recommend these guys enough! Thank you again so much!

I recently and over four years have used this company to fit and service my boiler and have had consistently excellent service and a trouble free heating system for the first time in 30 years. However due to the kindness and care shown by staff during my recent cancer illness I sent them this email: “It’s a credit to your business and your own character. Your kindness throughout our dealings with you and all your colleagues, has bowled us over. Not all businesses are as friendly, responsive, accommodating, reliable or supportive, not to mention skilled. Your business has always given us second to none service, reliably, for years. So rare these days. These are values lost in the larger corporate companies as well as other some other companies, which is why we prefer to deal with local, smaller firms such as yourselves. I regularly recommend you.” It’s at difficult times like this when you appreciate these values above and beyond expectations . Five stars given.

It is rare to be ABLE to give positive feedback but with Able Plumbing Solutions it is a pleasure. From start to finish their communication is perfect and everything flows from there. Service booked, reminder, then call from engineer on the day to confirm time of arrival. Engineer (Jaime) friendly, approachable but professional. Service of gas boiler thorough, efficient, explained why some parts needed replacing (one only just in time) then talked through test results and explained what it meant. Reassured us that boiler was OK. Well done Able

Helpful, tidy, and efficient. I've used Able Plumbing for a few years. Most recently was for a boiler service which they had to replace a part for all done within the allocated time slot. They also fitted a new kitchen tap at the same time.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Able Plumbing Solutions to install a new boiler, water softener, and commission underfloor heating in my home, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the service they provided. From start to finish, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient. The installation of the new boiler was seamless, and they took the time to explain how everything worked, ensuring I was comfortable with the new system. The water softener has made a noticeable difference in the quality of our water, and the underfloor heating is a game-changer for the colder months. What really stood out was the attention to detail and the care they took while working in my home. The team was punctual, cleaned up after themselves, and were always respectful of my space. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect before they left.

We have had several jobs completed by Able and we have always been very happy with the work. We have used Able to replace our hot water cyclinder, fit 2 bathrooms, and do significant works to improve our hot water system. They are highly professional, good at communicating, and very thorough. We live in an old house so the plumbing is not straight forward but they have always worked tirelessly to ensure they find the best solution. I would recommend Able without hesitation and we will continue to use them in the future

I had a nightmare experience with another plumber who absolutely screwed up the installation of my underfloor heating. Able sent out John who has a heat geek qualification and really knows his stuff. They were able to not only able to get the floor generating a decent amount of heat but added the missing return flow to the boiler which had been overlooked by the other company. Can't rate them highly enough!

Had a new boiler fitted on Thur & Fri this week, two main engineers that did the fitting were Darren and Ollie - both worked their socks off! Relentlessly grafted both days inside and outdoors (even in minus temperatures!) both extremely lovely guys, and very informative.. just proper top tier employees.! Another two lads came although didn't really speak with them, but that's because they also worked outdoors in the freezing cold! Have had a few interactions with Able now, both the engineers and office staff are all faultless - would recommend time and time again!!

We had Able (John) come to do a service on our boiler and underfloor heating. We also had a problem that had just occurred the day before. John saw no problem in this, took his time, explained everything for me so I could understand and had a really nice calm manner. His knowledge was exceptional and I felt like I could trust him 100%. I fell really happy I have a reliable contact now which I have never had before. Couldn’t recommend Able enough.

Outstanding Service from Able Plumbing Solutions - Kudos to Chris! We recently had the pleasure of working with Able Plumbing Solutions for the installation of our ensuite shower, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, the team at Able Plumbing Solutions demonstrated professionalism, efficiency, and outstanding customer service. A special shout-out goes to Chris, the skilled bathroom fitter who handled the installation with expertise and finesse. Chris' attention to detail and commitment to delivering top-notch service truly set him apart. Not only did he ensure that the installation was flawless, he managed to save some of our old tiles from the previous shower which were required for some boxing in. Job well done! Chris' friendly demeanor and dedication to customer satisfaction made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. (I will miss his singing!) The quality of workmanship provided by Chris and the Able Plumbing Solutions team exceeded our expectations. Our ensuite shower not only looks fantastic, but it also functions perfectly – a true testament to their commitment to excellence. The team are reliable, punctual, and left our home spotless at the end of each day. Overall, we highly recommend Able Plumbing Solutions for anyone seeking plumbing services, and we especially commend Chris for his outstanding work.

I have used Able Plumbing on a number of occasions and find them excellent. They are my ‘go to’ for anything plumbing related. Especially as a female home owner who wants someone safe and reliable. However today I needed an electrician urgently and just did not know where to start with contacting one who is reliable and trustworthy. In my highly stressed state my first thought was to ring Jamie at Able and ask him to recommend someone which he did immediately. This is next level customer service and I could not be more grateful to have this companies details in my phone. I would highly recommend them time and time again for many reasons.

What our clients say

Able refitted our small en-suite and installed a wet room. From first contact, to the final finishing the Able team were completely professional, punctual, and worked to a high standard. Cleaned up each day and removed the debris so not need for a skip. Any unexpected issues related to the job - inevitable when retro fitting in a 20 year old house - were sorted.
Chris was the main man for us and we were very impressed with his excellent standard of work - always discussing options with us and if necessary recommending from his experience.
Would use them again and recommend completely.
Excellent experience with Able. Easy booking and fairly immediate availability for the issue.
The lads were polite and fixed the job quickly. They had all the parts already on their van so
no unnecessary delays. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again.

Tap replacement needed and Able Plumbing have turned the job around really quickly!
Clean job, called ahead of appointment and done asap
5 stars!
Another great service by Able Plumbing! This is the third time I have used them and always find them helpful, friendly and professional! Very good quality work, they always make sure to leave everything tidy and clean and make me feel at ease also, many thanks to Jamie for helping me when I had many questions and for fitting me in quickly! Love my new bath, shower door and heated towel rail!
I would just like to say how pleased I am with the quality of the work for my full bathroom refit. Aaron was extremely pleasant to have working in my house. He was clean, respectful, professional, always arrived on time and did a great job and I am extremely happy with the end result. I have used Able plumbing for over 10 years and this is the reason I keep going back.
After reading online reviews, I called Able Plumbing to find out about a Gas Boiler Service. The person I spoke to was very friendly and polite, gave me all the information I was asking for without being pushy to arrange services. It was quick and easy to book an engineer to visit my property. Matt arrived on time, as stated when I called to book the appointment. He was very respectful of my property, even took his shoes off when he first came in. He carried out the boiler the service in the loft and was happy to answer and explain any questions I had for him. Electronic invoice came via email a few days later and the whole process was seamless from start to finish. I would definitely use Matt and Able Plumbing again.
Able Plumbing Solutions carried out a boiler service on behalf on my landlord, so I'm not party to the value provided. But I am sure it would have matched the other aspects of their service, including communications and timeliness which were both faultless. But above all, it was very clear to me that the technical level of the service was simply outstanding: beyond anything I've experienced previously in fact. Their engineer was meticulous, thorough, and clearly very expert. He was also respectful, pleasant and left everything in good order. I'm leaving this review because I think Able Plumbing solutions deserve recognition for doing a really outstanding job

Frequently asked questions

The number one consideration is that they should be Gas Safe registered. They should show their accreditation on their website, but you can double check by looking them up on the Gas Safe Register itself.  

After that, it comes down to normal commercial considerations, such as how much they charge and what warranties they offer. If your needs are urgent, you’ll need to know how quickly they can come out and what they’ll charge for such emergency visits.

The equivalent body to the Gas Safe Register for oil-fired boilers is OFTEC, which stands for the Oil Firing Technical Association. If your boiler is off the grid and you have your oil delivered, this is the accreditation you should be looking for. 

Oil-fired boilers tend to be in rural locations, where the cost of connecting to the mains gas is prohibitively expensive. 

Although boilers do pretty much the same job whoever makes them, there’s certainly an advantage to knowing particular brands and models inside out. 

The large manufacturers offer training and accreditation of their own, which plumbers can use to enhance their expertise. So if you’re aiming to install a specific model, or want to make sure the plumber understands your boiler, look for professional accreditations on their website – or just ask.

The easiest way is to look for independent reviews online. Most companies will put positive testimonials on their websites, but for a rounder picture look for a larger pool of opinions on services like Trustpilot or Google Reviews

The plumber has no control over what people say there, so look for ones with overwhelmingly positive reviews. If you see a negative review, see if the company has replied with an explanation, as that can sometimes show that the original complaint was not justified or was mistaken (and sometimes it’s just malicious). 

And it doesn’t matter if you’re looking to hire a plumber local to Milton Keynes specifically or a national company providing plumbing contractors, it’s imperative that you do the research beforehand. 

Reputable companies should be open and transparent about their costs. Although some jobs will require an investigation before a quote is made, others are routine, such as safety checks and services. These costs should ideally be easily findable on a Pricing page, along with hourly rates and out-of-hours call-out fees.

The vast majority of boiler manufacturers say that a boiler should be serviced once every 12 months, with the first check-up taking place a year after installation. In fact, you’ll probably find that your warranty will only be valid if you do have this check performed once a year. 

The check makes sure everything is safe, especially things like carbon monoxide emissions and proper venting. It also checks that gas and water are flowing well, that all switches, valves, sensors and pumps are working properly, and that your expansion vessel (if you have one) is at the correct pressure. It all adds up to a safe and efficient boiler.
