Once again a great service from Gavin. Went above and beyond to get my heating fixed for the Easter weekend. Thoroughly recommend Gavin and his team.Read full review
Gavin has been absolutely brilliant fixing our nightmare central heating system! We first contacted Gavin for what we originally thought was a simple thermostat replacement, which quickly opened a can of worms when Gavin discovered the heating system was wired completely wrong and likely had been since before we bought our house. Gavin was so thorough and helpful and even found us a local electrician to re-wire our system and attended the appointment with the electrician at the house to make sure everything was in order! Gavin answered our calls and messages every time the boiler and heating system threw up another curveball, and was friendly and polite each time he visited the house. Would 100% recommend GH Heating Services!Read full review

Gavin completed work for my mum a couple of years ago, and since then we have continued to use his services for additional jobs.

He is honest, trustworthy, punctual, and maintains a very high standard of workmanship. He always leaves the area clean and tidy, with no mess left behind.

Great service from Gavin. Would definitely use again. Great communication, arrived promptly and great job done. Thank you!Read full review
Easy to use on-line booking system, useful text messages to advise arrival time and real-time tracking of the engineers van. Arrived on time (in fact early) and was polite and efficient. Boiler service done in just over an 1.5 hours with some advice on future areas for attention – without any pressure to commit. Would definitely recommend based on my experiance.Read full review
All round excellent service! Gavin was straightforward, knowledgeable and communicative throughout. The issue: boiler was working intermittently every few days. Gavin was our second opinion after a large and local boiler company did a crap service/check and only gave us the option of a new boiler or a £600 replacement part to fix it. Gavin did the service/clean, and all the checks and gave us solid advice. Our boiler now works perfectly fine I would use GH Heating services again.Read full review
2nd year using GH Heating to fix a small fault and carry out a service on our boiler. Again, faultless great service, friendly fitters and staff. Explains all work undertaken and fair prices. Best boiler repair/service in and around the Colchester area (after trying many others).Read full review
It’s been a while since I’ve experienced a service as good as GH Services. I rarely write reviews but Gavin absolutely deserves the best recommendation there is. When I called about a faulty boiler, Gavin offered to come round the same evening to have a look. Unfortunately I had plans, so we arranged it for the next day. Gavin gave me an hour time window and called to let me know when he was on his way, so I knew exactly what was happening. Gavin solved my issue using his vast expertise and completed the job in an hour. His advice, knowledge and aftercare are of the highest calibre, as well as his professionalism. Another important point to note is their IT system. From the moment you call, you are sent links to their extremely efficient and user friendly internal system, which sets up an account and takes all of your details. It guides you through process and at the end of the job allows you to pay through it and gives you a job report as well as the invoice. It made the whole process smooth and incredibly easy. It’s mobile friendly too. I really can’t recommend enough. Thank you Gavin.Read full review
Really impressed with Gavins services arrived within 24 hours of call to fix a boiler issue. Diagnosis and repair all within 2 hours at a very reasonable price. Nice to see an engineer actually carry spares rather than wait for days without heating for parts to arrive. Courteous and professional. Thoroughly recommended.Read full review

Gavin came to our rescue today as my dad drilled through a water pipe! He arrived quickly and got the job done promptly. I couldn’t have asked for a better service Thank you!Read full review
I have been using G H Heating for many years now, for the annual service on my central heating system and for any emergencies. It’s always easy to book and I get useful reminders when the appointments are due. I’ve had lots of different things that needed doing and a lot of remedial work on pipe work and radiators last year. After Gavins recommendation, I put the heating on for 20 minutes, each Sunday all through the summer months. It doesn’t heat up the house enough to be a nuisance but it keeps the old system ticking over and flushed through, so it’s not a shock to the system every October when I put it on for the first time, and it’s all seized up! Very successful and no problems with clogged pipe work this year. Gavin is very professional and courteous, and gets on with the job efficiently and thoroughly. He always wears shoe protectors to keep carpets clean and a mask to protect me from viruses as I requested. I am more than happy to recommend this company and pleased to have someone local as well. I’ve recommended him to friends as well.Read full review

Why Some Rooms Never Get Warm (and It’s Usually Not the Boiler)
The lounge is roasting and the back bedroom never gets there. The boiler gets blamed, but it's usually where the hot water goes once it leaves.

If you’ve ever tried to get a school boiler replaced, you’ll know the hard part isn’t the engineering. It’s convincing somebody holding a budget that the thing is genuinely finished, and not just annoying. We’re on the wrong side of that conversation fairly often.
