The guys were totally committed to finding the best fixes to my dodgy boiler setup. It ended up needing a lot more work but they still charged me what they first quoted me. Great value for money and friendly high quality service. Thanks Monty!

Monty was great. He turned up on time, and explained very carefully what was required. Thankyou

Very helpful he explained everything that could be an issue and that was an issue.I had previously had another boiler repairman come in who did not even check the boiler thoroughly and diagnosed me with the need to buy three new parts for the boiler!Monty was on time and honest and suggested that it just needed some tweaking and the boiler now works perfectly. I have a difficult boiler Potterton Powermax HE, so only a limited number of repairmen are able to deal with it. I was lucky to find Monty

He arrived when he said he would and although it was late he determined what the problem was and agreed to resolve it immediately. His cost was fair also. Overall a great experience from a rated people trader. Good tradesmen are hard to come by

Monty was quick to provide a quote and detailed breakdown of the work required by email. Even though I waited a few days to contact Monty on commencing with the work, he did not pester me with phone calls or emails. Once agreed Monty directly communicated with the tenant and arrange access to the property. There were some unexpected costs, but we both compromised on. The work was of a very high standard and Monty at every stage kept me informed of what was going on. I will definately be using Monty again.

I engaged Monty remotely because I live abroad. He was very responsive and communicative throughout, keeping me up to date with his progress and sending photos of his work. He was also unfailingly polite. I'd be happy to recommend him.

Free assesment of boiler problem, good quote, got the parts quickly and repaired boiler in no time. Even got a better part than agreed at no extra cost.

Monty explained the options well. He kept the area clean and was thoroughly professional. I waited a month to post this review so I can confidently say that Monty solved the sludge and hot shower water problems we had. The boiler works really well now. Tom

Monty carried out a Power Flush on our Heating System. The Radiators are now working much better - just in time for the winter! His work is excellent and he didn't leave until everything was working correctly. Clean, Tidy and would highly recommend. Thanks very much for a fabulous service.

Replacement of Boiler , Radiator valves and programmer Monty and his colleague arrived on time each day and kept me fully informed of everything they were doing. I cant rate them highly enough and would recommend MSM to everyone. The end of each day they cleaned up and left everything clean and tidy . They are not 9 to 5 tradesmen the last day they came at 9.30 after obtaining a part and stayed to 9pm cleaning up and showing me how to programme the new boiler and controls. Steve

MSM Plumbing Heating and Gas answered questions about Bathroom fitter
Hello I have borsch boiler, l want to change the expansion vessel, How much would it cost Cheers
Hi Nihad If you boiler is a Bosch green star junior ,then it will be a quite a big job as the whole boiler needs to be removed completetely from the wall ,it will cost around 500 to £600. Regards
I have a wet patch in my kitchen ceiling and have called plumbers to look at it. After fixing 2 places upstairs, it is still growing. What should I do at this stage?
Hi David Leaks are a nightmare especially like the type you have. In my opinion the best way for you is to get the same plumber who fixed it first time round ,for the simple reason you've started a procedure of investigating and he should know where he started which is important clue to continue inspecting or proceed to find the cause of the leak . Regards
What is the cost of fitting a new valve?
Hi Victor It depends on some factors and a free site inspection would determine the exact cost . Regards
Water comes on if heating not on .also boiler goes up to no three for about 30 minutes before slowly going down to zero and going off .could their be a leak in the pipes under the floor .
Hi Pat If the boiler comes on without demand then that means there's something wrong with the controls. If the pressure goes to 3 bars then after a while goes to zero ,then there's a problem with the boiler components ,it's unlikely a leak in the system pipes . Regards
Should I get a new one ?? It is has no front cover and has a drip coming from it, plumbers say it looks a mess
Hi Alex It must be well over 10 years old ,as since 2005 all manufactured boilers are condensing boilers . It's always worth it to upgrade to a new modern condensing boiler as they're much more efficient which means you would expect a saving around £200 a year with more readability and peace of mind . Best regards
Is it an easy job for a plumber to disconnect and remove a water tank from loft and connect to mains?
Hi,it will be fairly a difficult job to execute and it's very important to select and make sure a good professional tradesman carry out the task. Regards
Hi all, My existing boiler is a Combi Ariston (I don't see any water tank around). I believed that it has been there since 2003. Now, I wish to have it replaced. It has 2 pipes connected to it. And the flue pipe goes up into the ceiling, out to the building communal passage and it then either exits to the side of the building or the rooftop. if it does exit to the side of the building (on the same level), then the length of the flue must be around 10m. A few engineers who have visited have different opinions that confused me greatly. Engineer A: To replace the existing boiler, the whole flue system (which belongs to my flat) must be replaced too. It is illegal to replace the boiler without replacing the existing flue pipe. Engineer B and C: Just need to find a boiler model that accommodates the existing flue system. I am seeking advises from more engineer visits. But, for now, I just want to throw this out to the open and gather your opinions. Many thanks if anyone can help
Hi ,from what I understand definitely a new boiler will need also a new flue system as it is against the regulations to fit a new boiler to an existing old flue . Also you've mentioned a vertical flue route in this case you will need to make sure that the flue is visible at every joint (here the need for inspection hatches if the flue is concealed). Last point a combination boiler connects to 5 pipes plus a condensate (plastic) pipe . Regards
My livingroom wall was damaged by a leaking chimney breast. The leak is fixed but my wall and ceiling has stains and bubbling. Who should i hire to fix this?
Hi Jennifer A good experienced painter and decorator should easily be able to strip the damaged ceiling area( plaster it and reskim it ) then repaint it .
I have an old gas fire which I want to remove and replace with an electric fire. the gas has already been disconnected to the old unit and I have bought an electric fire and surround. what category of trades person should I use?
Hi Jaden You will need hire a gas fire specialist at the same time you need the services of a qualified electrician .It is essential both tradesmen communicate together before any work starts.
The hot water pressure is very very low. Plz advise.
Hi,I understand that the hot water pressure in the bathroom is very low ,if that's the case then you should have a hot water cylinder (Tank) somewhere in the property (usually in a first floor cupboard ) therefore it's a gravity system and the low pressure could be caused by an air lock or a small blockage in the hot water supply pipe. If after inspection these 2 were ruled out then a pressure booster pump will be a good option to cure the problem . I hope all the above can assist you get a general idea . Regards
Can i install a new boiler in a bathroom
Hi,in addition to the flue duct system correct criteria ,bathrooms boiler installations are controlled by building regulations and electric regulations ,like the location of the boiler should be away from the bath tab the electric controls must be outside away from the bathroom just to mention few . Regards
Have a combi boiler, which works fine when only hot water is turned on. However, when heating is activated we're getting a horrid smell. Kind of sewage, eggy smell. What is causing this?
Hi,It's difficult to say ,especially when no smell in hot water mode .I would say a visit to diagnose the cause is a must . Regards
I have a connector from my toilet to the water pipe leaking what is the cost of repair
It should not cost a fortune ,I would say less than £100. Regards
I have changed the washer on the tap and reseated it and the tap still drips
You need to properly clean the bottom of the seating using a special tap seating cleaner and make sure the washer is the correct one for that tap . Regards
Do i tile before or after i fit a shower cubicle??
Hi,usually you need to fit the shower cubicle and the first fix (in the case of new shower room ) then you can tile . Regards
Boiler bar pressure at zero why,no leaks,no air in rads
Hi, there's no quick answer for this type of faults as it can be a number of things that went wrong . A site survey visit to carry out specific tests to be able to correctly diagnose and find the fault. Regards
I have received a comment in the survey report for the house I am about to buy about soot and how heating/hot water system is deemed to be unsafe. The house has a current gas safety cert (April 2015) so I'd like to know how serious this is likely to be? Pressurised hot water system has been drained down before sale for redecoration of walls (I believe).
Soot marks should always be taking extremely serious as it can be fatal .It indicates a faulty gas combustion . A qualified gas engineer should immediately investigate the causes and remedy. Regards
How much to fit a gas wall heater in existing place
Hi Karen It would depend on the quality of the boiler and the amount of work iinvolved ,however generally it cost around two thousand pound . Regards
I have some doubt about my Plummer’s recent work. Can you advise please? From the cold water pipe that feds the combi boiler, a new connection was made connecting to the bathroom bath taps. Can you advise whether using the same supply pipe for both boiler and bath taps allowed and will it affect boilers performance?
Hi , generally there's no problem especially if your mains cold water pressure is good . Regards

That’s totally unfair and unjustified.I bought the lead called the client he said the grill which doesn’t turn off is electric,I told him thought it was gas grill and apologised as I can’t help and advised he needs a qualified electrician. I can’t believe it .
