We contacted Chris and he responded really quickly. He came out, diagnosed the fault and provided us with a quote to remedy the work that was both a practical fix and cost effective. He completed the work in good time without making any mess. He was really knowledgeable and had a common sense approach, which we've not had in previous electricians. We will definitely be using Chris again and I would highly recommend him.

Orsidaen's work at our property has been excellent. Chris is reliable, turns up when he promises he will, works efficiently, and tidies up on completion. The two jobs he has done for us have made a big difference to our home and I can't recommend him highly enough.

Chris installed a new consumer unit as well as adding multiple new sockets to the property. He was professional, polite and responsive to any queries. Very happy with the quality of work done.

Very responsive to request to review issue with light in overhead extractor fan. Assessed and ascertained problem, agreed together that repair of fitting would be better for environment than replacement of whole unit. Arranged further appointment and fixed in good time. I really appreciate Sarah's no-nonsense honesty and openess about the jobs she helps with. I'd be very happy to recommend her for any work that needs doing.

Sarah did a great job installing wall lights and a chandelier. She was really responsive, very professional, and generous in sharing her expertise. So pleased to have found her — will definitely be calling on her services again.

Rating: 5 / 5

Our search for an electrician has been really hard! No responses and no quotes returned from multiple tradespeople. Sarah was fantastic at contacting me, was flexible with fitting me in and was great with communication. We have a house that has old and rather unusual wiring - this has stumped other less experienced electricians. Sarah came up with a plan which was cost considerate and sensible, she was transparent and honest about the job. Sarah kept me informed of the changes to the plan we’d discussed and completed a job that wasn’t straight forward. Great services, can’t fault it. Will 100% be using her services in the future, 5 star recommendation from me!

Having got myself in a DIY pickle, Sarah came to my rescue! Called her on a Saturday afternoon and she came over within a few hours! Incredible service, great communication and clearly very skilled and knowledgeable. Sarah's charge was also extremely reasonable considering that it was a weekend call out - many other electricians would have named their price! I will definitely be using Sarah again and recommending to others.

Very quick response and onsite estimates, all completed in 48 hours. Very good service even over weekend

Lovely little venue in the middle of the stunning IBM Estate. I had a delicious coffee (latte)and an enormous wedge of carrot cake. Friendly and knowledgeable staff with various bits and pieces for sale on top of coffee and cakes. Indoor and outdoor seating, fantastic grounds to walk around. Very prompt and friendly service.

Have heard this cafe is good so dropped in to try. Lovely home roasted coffee and excellent toasted sandwiches. Definitely worth a visit. Cakes look good too

Rating: 5 / 5

An excellent independent coffee shop with healthy food options combined with treats as well, all round better than the processed food found in chain stores. You can buy their coffee beans along with other healthier produce. Outdoor seating set within the courtyards peaceful surroundings. Lots of open parking spaces. A go-to coffee stop if your travelling through Hursley ☕️

Rating: 5 / 5

Great coffee spot at Hursley Park, home of IBM. Good coffee, but it was the food that stole the show! Enjoyed an amazing red velvet croissant and an equally delicious sausage roll. Inside and outside seating available. You can then walk around the grounds if you wish.

I’d highly recommend them. Gair Gas provided a competitive quote and I was impressed by their recommendations. On the day, the new boiler was fitted within a day and there were no complications! The work was carried out exactly to that described and to an excellent standard. A happy customer! 😊

Rating: 5 / 5

Such a great service! I had a gas pipe moved to accommodate an oven. I submitted a form online for a callback which was swift. The quotation was quick and accurate. The price was reasonable at around £115. Two people carried out the work respectfully and expertly. The invoice was shared shortly after and payment was easy.

I've used Gair a few times and have only good things to say. Every person attending has been polite and professional and gone above and beyond to give me advice about the heating and gas systems in my house. The first visit this year was a routine boiler inspection and service as I wasn't sure if I needed a new boiler (just bought an old house), the engineer advised me that although old, the boiler was in good working order, but he could have easily recommended I get a new one - as a different company had - and I'd have been none the wiser! Plus, he spent extra time investigating where an old gas pipe from a gas fire went which I wanted removed. The second visit was the installation of new radiators across the whole house and a hive heating system. The guys did a great job and left me with a wonderfully heated home! Definitely recommend for honest open advice and professional service.

Excellent very professional service. We were looking for new plumbers after our previous one retired. We went by the reviews and are glad we chose Gair Gas. We had a new boiler fitted and it all went very well. Both Sams who attended did an excellent job and were very friendly polite and professional. The office staff were also very polite and helpful. As I’m vulnerable the Company very helpfully expedited the works. The added bonus is that they also do electrics etc and we are looking forward to joining the Home Shield cover as it will give us peace of mind.

Communication was excellent, the job was booked in, executed very quickly and left in a tidy state. More expensive than I was expecting but I’m just glad the issues are fixed. Would definitely recommend to others.

Dexter is first class. Had a problem with a air source boiler, which a lot of plumbers wouldnt touch, but he came, sorted what he could, learnt about and then sorted the bits he didnt know about. Very diligent, tidy, friendly & knowledgeable. Will definitely use again.

Rating: 5 / 5

After smelling gas around our boiler, I called DWM and Dexter was with us within 30 mins. He diagnosed a few issues, sourced the parts and fixed our boiler within a few hours - at a very fair price! He’s polite and knowledgable and I hope to use Dexter for all future plumbing work.

Rating: 5 / 5

Excellent experience with Dexter servicing our boiler. He arranged to come promptly, carried out a thorough service explaining what he had found. Tidy, friendly and reasonably priced. Have used him twice now for different things and will continue to do so.

Hannah visited our property to carry out a gas boiler service and radiator re-balance. We found her to be very efficient when communicating with us prior to her visit. On the day, she was friendly and professional, explaining exactly what she had done in a clear and informative manner. She was very careful and considerate while carrying out the work, leaving everything neat and tidy when she left. We will definitely use her in the future and would be very happy to recommend her.

Rating: 5 / 5

Absolutely fantastic service, couldn't rate Hannah highly enough. She managed to fit us in on the same day as I called, boiler fixed, serviced and up and running. Had all the parts required on her van, very professional and competitively priced.

Rating: 5 / 5

As a female living alone I was really glad to find Hannah- she is friendly, clear and honest. Just found using a Google search and found her web site to be easy, smart and professional. That was about 5 years ago and I have never used another plumber since. Hannah is professional, capable, reliable and always takes care of my yearly boiler and gas safety checks. She has sorted our noisy central heating system out and is always clear and honest in communications, well organised and professional- all at a very good price. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Rating: 5 / 5

We have just used Hannah to rectify some plumbing work incorrectly installed by another builder. Hannah was efficient , clean and tidy and solved the issue swiftly (very reasonably ) that the other builders failed to do so after 6 weeks. We could not reccomend her enough and will undoubtedly use her services again should we need them. 5 stars all round

I rang LDA plumbing as my sink was blocked and I couldn’t clear it. He arrived quickly and did a great job getting things moving. My pipes were blocked with years of build up which he cleared and replaced without a fuss and mess. Would definitely recommend and use again.

Lee came out today as an emergency job to fix our toilet. He was fast and extremely reliable. He was honest and did a great job. Highly recommend if you need a plumber, even lets you know when he’s on his way.

Rating: 5 / 5

I needed a plumber who was experienced in handling macerators, to sort out my mother's one in her bathroom. I chose LDA because they had good feedback. Lee arranged to visit and look at the job required. He was super with my very elderly mother, reassuring her that it could all be fixed. Although the job wasn't urgent, Lee went above and beyond to get it replaced and the new one installed. It is so good to find local tradesmen, who are reliable and are good with their customers too. Thank you to LDV and Lee that was a super job!

We’ve been using Options Plumbing and Heating for five years now and have always been really happy with any work done including gas service, new radiators and fixing taps. The team are friendly and make sure they explain the process. Thank you

Rating: 5 / 5

After today’s boiler service, they will be my only ‘Option’ from now on. Rory came out to service my boiler, he was on time, polite and friendly. He sorted our boiler out in our new home, fixed many issues left by the previous owner on the same day as he had most of the spare parts on the van. He explained all the issues that it had very clearly and when he was done he left no mess behind! See you next year!

Rating: 5 / 5

Had a new boiler fitted a short while ago and last week a new bathroom. Really pleased with Options - they are reliable, efficient and very professional - can't praise them enough. Will certainly recommend and continue to use them.

Rating: 5 / 5

Rory and Dave recently fitted a new boiler and bathroom towel radiator in my home. From my first meeting with Rory, I was impressed with these guys. I’d lost confidence in my previous plumber so took a chance on Options. Let’s be honest - no one wants to spend a lot of money on a new boiler unexpectedly but Rory and Dave made the experience less painful! They are very knowledgeable, have a great relationship and despite the singing of Christmas songs ( only joking Dave ! 🎄), it was a pleasure to have them both in my home for a couple of days. I’d definitely recommend Options and without doubt, I’ll use them again in the future.
