Todd has come to our home on a number of occasions, to fit a shower, new bathroom, remove old radiators, fit new radiators, leaking taps. We had so many problems with our home through renovations and Todd was fantastic on each occasion, fitting us in last minute to ensure other trades could complete works. He’s always on time , leave the house tidy, friendly with the whole family and his work is 101% every time. I wouldn’t hesitate to keep using him in the future and recommending to friends and family

I thank my lucky stars I found Todd. The inlet valve on my combi boiler was not switching off. As I am new to the area I now live in, I knew no contractors and had no recommendations. I went to what I thought was a local accredited company for help. They charged me £128 for a call out and diagnostic visit. They then wanted to charge me £155 for a new part, £207 for labour + VAT. In despair at this extortionate sum, I contacted Todd. He visited the next day, unjammed the valve, gave it a squirt of oil and charged me just £80. This is your man. He knows exactly what he is doing and does it quickly and efficiently. His contact number is now permanently in my phone. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you so much, Todd.

We called at Todd after a leak was discovered, he went out of his way to rearrange his appointments to ensure that he could attend to our emergency call out whilst meeting his commitments the same day. Superb work and excellent value.

Todd has been our port of call for all things plumbing for 7 years. I cannot recommend him enough. His work is of an excellent standard and his knowledge in his field is also excellent. Very reasonable rates.

Really great job Installing my new boiler, a super efficient and tidy worker. Also really transparent about pricing and endeavoured to get me the best price. After a series of not great workmen I've had in my house I will be recommending heatfluence to anyone that asks.

I contacted Kye on recommendation to rip out my old bathroom and modernise it.I would have no hesitation in recommending him for your plumbing and bathroom renovation work. Always on time and totally focused on the job in hand. I found him totally professional and knowledgeable in his field. I am now the proud owner of a superbly fitted shower room.. I can warmly recommend him and would have no hesitation in contacting him again for some future work.

Heatfluence is the best company we've worked with for complete strip-out and installing new bathrooms (& we've done c.20). Kye has been responsive, ultra-professional, has listened to what we want and executed it brilliantly, turned up every day on time and worked solidly. We would recommend him absolutely. We love our new bathrooms, everything works perfectly, and we didn't even give him biscuits with his coffee. The best. We almost miss him.

Kye has carried out numerous tasks for me, including Boiler repair and servicing. Fitting a new en suite and repairing a fault with my toilet. All jobs have been completed efficiently and to a fantastic standard. Highly recommended ⭐️

We had the absolute pleasure of stumbling across Phil after being let down by others on our new build bungalow. We found him to be reliable, very knowledgable & really did help in many aspects of the build with both advice & support, nothing was too much trouble & we never felt as if we were being fobbed off. Phil, has a very high standard of work, & always treated the bungalow as our home, even though it was no more than a building site for many months. Always cheery & enjoyable to have around & is partial to a bacon sandwich if on offer 😂. We really can’t recommend him highly enough.

I am so glad our previous plumber let us down because otherwise we wouldn't have found Phil, he is superb. I have had 2 problems over the past year where he has come along immediately and sorted them out. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and respectful. Nothing seems too much trouble and he is young so has plenty of plumbing life left in him, which is a bonus for us customers 😁

Phil provided an excellent service when our oil combi boiler started tripping the electrics, diagnosing the issue and then resolving it within an afternoon. Prompt, efficient, and reasonably priced - can't ask for more!

Phil has helped us on several occasions with repairs and renovations since we have moved to the area. He has installed a register plate for our wood burning stove to replace an old and failing instance, he is repaired frost damaged external pipes, toilet mechanism repair and oil boiler maintenance. Phil's work has been excellent, and all completed to the discussed approach and cost. Phil's been great at agreeing dates and times for the jobs and has been reliable, friendly and helpful throughout. Very good service, thanks Phil.

Artisan were amazing. We first used them when we won a facebook comp for a filtered drinking water tap. They were so professional and tidy we knew then when we were upgrading our bathrooms etc we would use them. From March 19 we started to refurbish the whole house (3 story town house). We liaised with Linda and James (Artisan) on what we wanted to do - the whole house. They would do all our plumbing needs ie., 1 x bathroom, 1 x en-suite and 1 x downstairs WC, all radiators. Linda would also project manage everything as she knows exactly what to do and when to do it. We also needed joiners, painters, electrician, tiler and flooring - and we asked Linda and James who they would recommend as they link in with companies on a regular basis. Again, Linda would project manage everyone as we went with all their suggestions. Together we came up with a price for each of the bathrooms where we chose all the fitments etc. The initial price was a lot higher than we wanted and Linda therefore did a lot of work sending us to Shepton Mallet to choose alternative fittings (but not as expensive). She worked everything out down to the last part and came in at what we wanted to pay. (With the money we saved we did actually get them to do additional work, and changed some things to the most expensive where we deemed it best). James came round every Friday to check on how the work was getting on and pushing the guys along if they need it. He also took all the old materials away each week so we never had anything hanging around for long. The rooms were hoovered and tidied up every day so we could utilise rooms as and when. They sorted out our main bathroom initially so we could then live on our top floor with the bedroom and bath while they worked on the en-suite etc. This worked really well. All the other craftsmen/women were fantastic and of the same high calibre as Artisan. Linda will let you have the details of these if you need them and I suggest you use them if you want a good job. The work was finished after 4-5 months and the house looks amazing - this is all thanks to Artisan as without them we wouldn't have the house/home we do now. They also continued to help out after their work with the plumbing had been finalised. Our Kitchen was done separately through another specialist company. We can't recommend Artisan (Linda and James) enough. They and their workers were brilliant. The craftsman ship of all the work is first class. We spent a huge amount refurbishing and we are pleased with every penny spent. (We have both unfortunately had cowboy builders in the past so know things can go wrong if you don't use a reputable company). Please please please use Artisan if you want a beautiful, professional and friendly job done. Sam and Dave

Highly recommend this company. Service was excellent, James is highly experienced and knowledgable in plumbing. I have had Jonny and Bradley both to my home and they are polite courteous and leave the home cleaner than when they started! I have had various work done throughout the house and would not use another plumber again! Trustworthy A* business

Unbelievable experience, came out to help us in an emergency, we have a holiday let and guests were due in same day! They were prompt, very polite and efficient, cleaned up after themselves. Couldn’t have been happier! Many thanks to all.

Following a very competitive quotation, in 2017 James and his team installed a brand new central heating boiler and radiator system at my home in Langport. This work was very satisfactorily completed within a week and I have been more than happy with the efficiency of my system and its ease of operation. Following some window work to a bedroom a radiator valve cover went "missing". I contacted Artisan in order to source a replacement and one was posted out free of charge. This week I had a minor issue with air in a couple of radiators and was offered a possible solution in case a visit was not necessary :-) I didn't want to "fiddle" with the boiler so I asked for an engineer to call and the matter was resolved within a couple of days plus he gave clear guidance as to what to do in future. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Artisan both for the work and the after service!

Total Energy Solutions installed a complete new bathroom and hot water supply for us. In the planning stages they were excellent and explained their reasoning for everything clearly, helping us to avoid problems later on. They were always on time, tidy, and efficient. The work was initially completed exactly on time, and when there was a snag with the shower tray they fixed it very quickly. I can definitely recommend them.

Total Energy serviced our boiler last year and couldn’t fault the service. Today after having a smart meter fitted by another company they found a gas leak and shut us off. I contacted the office and spoke to Matt who arranged for an engineer to pop over to have a look. The engineer managed to fix the problem and got us back up and running. Apologies I didn’t catch his name. Really appreciated, especially as it was late on a Friday afternoon when they were supposed to be finishing. 100% recommend. Excellent service and friendly staff

Pretty good service we had an oil boiler installed had a Few problem with the boiler not total energy fault but they sorted Pretty quickly. My only gripe is total energy have no emergency call out. So like us if something goes wrong at night or the weekend you have to call someone else out. So be prepared for this. Total energy you need to introduce a call out engineer.

Rating: 5 / 5

Total Energy Services have carried out various works for me including oil boiler servicing and emergency work to clear a blockage in my hot water system. On all occasions the engineers have been friendly and polite. They also take the time to explain what work they are doing and why. They are a highly efficient company which I highly recommend.

The team from Guy Crabb did an excellent job fitting a new cold water tank in our house. The work was completed to a high standard, and they left the house immaculate. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Rating: 5 / 5

Excellent work from all the team involved in diagnosing the need for and installing a new boiler, at the same time balancing the radiators and making the system so much more effective. It was a very competitive price and a very short wait between quote and installation. Everyone involved was friendly, approachable and professional. We are delighted with a good job well done. Thank you.

I have two jobs carried out by Guy Crabb, can't recommend them highly enough. They reopened an old fire place and installed a log burner. Then they removed an old water tank and replaced with new plus re routed pipe work. Friendly efficient team and left the house spotless. Would definitely use again. Thanks Mark

I had work done to reseal bath as water getting through to the hallway downstairs. Sean and Taylor discovered loose damp plaster behind the tiles and replaced it with plaster board before fitting tiles back. I also had a new bath panel fitted and now looks much better. I am very pleased with their work and would certainly recommend this company.

I'm so pleased I called Dave. We have just moved to Somerset and couldn't use our kitchen sink because of dodgy plumbing . Elliot came over early next morning and did a fantastic job. Really nice guy, very professional and friendly and disinfected everything after he finished. I wish I could share a before and after photo... the difference is amazing! I've never been happier to get the washing up done or have a new washing machine fitted! 😆 thank you guys!

Rating: 5 / 5

We have had a boiler service, a boiler repair and a shower and new radiator installed- all jobs were carried out efficiently and professionally. Dave and Elliot are helpful and friendly and very tidy workers! Our boiler broke down and it was fixed within 24 hours - brilliant service! Thank you both

Just wanted to say thank you to Dave and his team for excellent service. Before Christmas our boiler failed and one of Dave's team was round within the hour as promised. Following that we had an issue with our immersion heater and again Dave was there as promised, even ringing us to advise he would be 15 minutes later than expected. Overall result - new boiler, removal of water tanks and change of some radiators which was started and finished last week. He and his team were friendly, professional and helpful and we'd be more than happy to recommend him.

Our boiler stopped working about 2 weeks before Christmas, and I contacted Dave at Exo. He came out for a quick assessment before work the next morning, and then continued over the next several days ordering and changing all the relevant parts, even at the weekend! I appreciate this was not normal being pre-christmas chaos, bit I am super appreciative that we had heating and hot water back within a week, and saved us replacing our boiler. Bravo Dave!
