Reviews of my work at Thames Boilers in Kent
These reviews are from customers of Thames Boilers, the business I ran in Kent, where I built up more than 25 years in the trade before my family and I moved to North Devon. Tarka Boilers is new here, so it doesn't have North Devon reviews of its own yet.

I'd rather show you real reviews from Kent, clearly labelled, than let you think they came from your neighbours. The engineer is the same, and so is the way I work. As North Devon customers leave reviews for Tarka Boilers, they'll appear here too.

Extremely happy with the excellent service i received. From start to finish, the process was smooth and stress-free. The website is easy to navigate and contains clear unambiguous pricing and it was incredibly simple to make a booking with plently of options for suitable time slots. I received a telephone call very shortly after making my booking to confirm my request and for the service provider to ask me more details in order to tailor his service and I knew exactly what to expect. He arrived on time, was friendly and got to work immediately. Above all, I found him to be so very honest, and reasonably priced which is refreshing, particularly in this trade (unfortunately) so I am a very very happy customer who will be a repeat customer for my yearly services and any (hopefully not) repairs :) Well done an absolute pleasure and 100% recommend!

Checkatrade reviewerCheckatrade review, April 2018Customer of Thames Boilers, Kent George arrived on time, knew his trade, tried to fix the code without changing he pcb, asked me to send him a photo the night before so he could bring parts to save me money.

He arrived on time, provided a written quotation and final invoice and there was no over-charging or delays in responses to my questions. Would highly recommend his services to family and friends.

Checkatrade reviewerCheckatrade review, March 2018Customer of Thames Boilers, Kent George was recommended to me by a family member who was very pleased with Central Heating repairs he recently carried out for her. Having already been let down by two previous gas engineers, I contacted him without expectation but was pleasantly surprised at how friendly and helpful he was. He was prepared to travel the extra distance for me and arrived on the day and exact time that we arranged and got the job done (that others had said was difficult) without fuss, mess or any difficulties. His service is second to none and I won't hesitate to call on him again if needed in the future.

Checkatrade reviewerCheckatrade review, March 2018Customer of Thames Boilers, Kent I recently had my Boiler and central heating system cleaned and serviced by George Lane and he did a fantastic job. When he came to quote me for the work he was clear on how much it would cost and how long the work would take and was flexible on when he could do it. During the service I was surprised at how quiet and mess free the process was. George fully explained what he had done and made some recommendations on how I could improve the efficiency of my heating system but wasn't pushy and didn't try and persuade me to spend any extra money. He was polite, punctual and knowleable without trying to baffle me with technical jargon. A fantastic job well done.
Lorraine A.Google review, November 2017Customer of Thames Boilers, Kent We had a problem with our boiler and our heating system not working right as some radiators where cold and some hot and bleeding the radiators didn't do anything. George was very helpful, fruendly, proffesional, explained how things work and left only after all was working well.
Zlata A.Google review, November 2017Customer of Thames Boilers, Kent Finally somebody who knows what they are doing! Having had constant problems with my boiler and several failed attempts to resolve the issue with other firms, George came to have a look. 20 or so minutes of 'fault finding' as he called it, and he had it. George was so clear with his explanation of what needed doing and why, and took the time to answer my questions clearly, in a way that I could understand. What a breath of fresh air! I always dreaded getting work done in the house having had experience of various trades who don't answer your questions properly, and leave you feeling a bit stupid and unsure as you hand over your money. I have no hesitation in recommending George for any boiler or plumbing work and will definitely be calling him again.
Michelle D.Google review, October 2017Customer of Thames Boilers, Kent We've used George for general advice as well as a an emergency situation where we needed to call him out. He is the absolute professional; polite, incredibly knowledgeable and trustworthy and produces top quality workmanship. He's top of our contact list should we need plumbing or boiler work in future.

The £2,000 boiler that needed one part
M. Thompson had been told a new boiler would cost £2,000. The fault turned out to be a single part. Being sold a boiler you don't need is the worry people raise most before booking a heating engineer, and it's why every visit starts with finding the fault. Every visit starts with finding out what's actually wrong, not with a sales pitch for a new boiler. I show you what I've found and what it means, and you get a fixed price for any parts before anything's fitted. I don't sell or fit boilers, so I've no reason to tell you to replace something that can be fixed.
