Shears plumbing heating & gas have done many jobs for us. The main one being a complete new boiler system and radiators from start to finish the team were great! Great communication, tidy, time keeping and most importantly attention to detail is second to none. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ben and the team.

Shears PHG to the rescue. We called Shears PHG, as they were recommended from a friend as we had an emergency with our boiler, which we found out needed to be replaced. Not only did they manage to come out to us in rapid response they saw they we were in desperate need and squeezed us in among their busy schedule. Can't recommend them enough. Thank you again.

We used Shears for refurbishing both bathrooms mid-2022, and again recently for replacing the boiler. On both occasions they did an excellent job with good results! Ben has a great team - they are quite professional at their job and work very well as a team and in a friendly manner. Couple of minor teething problem were attended to swiftly. Excellent customer care received though out their visits, and would therefore, definitely recommend Shears based on our experience so far!

Can't speak highly enough of Ben and his team. We asked Ben to plan and carry out a renovation of our out houses to convert them into a dining room. From start to finish we were extremely pleased with the whole process, the team were punctual, tidy and carried out the work with excellent workmanship.

Ben and his team installed our media wall and fireplace last year and we could not fault them. From helping with us decide what time of fireplace would be best, to the installation they were so helpful. I would definitely recommend Ben and his team, great service!

We had a great experience with Ben at shears really friendly and understanding of what the customer wants instead of just doing what is quickest. The lads were really friendly and finish to a high standard and left no mess! We had lots of quotes but shears no only was the best but also catered for our needs the most. So pleased we went with them.

I have used Shears on a number of occasions over the past 4 years. I have always found them to be professional, friendly, reasonably priced and reliable. The work is always top quality and I wouldn't use anybody else now. There may be cheaper options out there but you get what you pay for, and with Shears you get good quality work. Positive Quality, Professionalism, Value. More

We was recommended Shears by previous people who had work done by them and they didn't disappoint. Upon first contact the lady who answered the phone was polite, friendly and professional. Ben and his team are highly responsive, informative and listened to what we wanted. The process of moving and replacing our Boiler from the kitchen to the garage was carried out with no distribution to my day. The work they carried out was to a high standard and everything was cleaned up before they left. The whole team work extremely hard and are friendly and easy to get along with. I would recommended this company to anyone that needed work doing and will be using them again in the future.

Ben and his team couldn't be more helpful. We contacted shears to move and replace our old boiler, the lady on the phone was welcoming, friendly and reassured us this was something Shears could do. Ben came to take a look and give us some advice. He was insightful, informative, pleasant and easy to get along with. They are a highly responsive team with excellent communication skills and arrived when they said they would.

The work was carried out to very high standards. The whole team all worked really hard and everything was cleaned up before they left. We can't recommend Shears enough as the whole experience was positive and we will definitely be using them in the near future.

The communication and professionalism from Ben was outstanding. The quality of work from him and his team was excellent with them fitting my new external oil boiler. Ben and the team worked exceptionally hard during a very cold and rainy day to remove my old, faulty boiler and install the new one with no disruption to me whatsoever. Ben is so helpful and provides sound and expert advice, based on knowledge and experience.
