What our Bedford plumbing clients say

It’s not an enquiry, it’s a thankyou for both the excellent staff and work you carried out at 24 Church End, Milton Bryan. John, Ollie, Tristian and Martin were all friendly, happy and conscientious. All were very meticulous and the attention to detail was superb. I did post a review, but it seems to have disappeared….! Anyway, we have been singing your praises to Bedford Estates. Nice to find a company that cares. Hope Ollie had a good time at Ascot….!!! Say hello to John. All of them were happy, which, to me, means you must be a good company to work for. Regards, Evan and Diane.

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 worked alongside Able Plumbing and Heating for years. They delivery a prompt service with integrity. Additionally, it is always advantageous that our trade specialist collaborations understand our requirements and expectations in order to deliver consistent workmanship and service.

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 been using Able Plumbing for a while now after they installed an unvented water and heating system for us. I don’t have any complaints about the work or the plumbers who do they work.

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.
