James Gas Services

excellent! thoroughly recommended!

Fantastic service,accommodated me at short notice,sourced materials, explained the work to be done and still checked everything in the house that wasn,t even included in the quote.left the site immaculate after the work
Punctual,efficient and cannot recommend him highly enough.
Brilliant and affordable

A very professional, reliable and honest man. Gave a very reasonable quote and there were no hidden extras in the end. Very upfront and flexible from the beginning to the end. We were very particular about causing minimal disruption to our tenants and minimal cosmetic damage during the works and James was very obliging. Our tenants also gave very good feedback and are very pleased with their new boiler. Would highly recommend. Thank you James.

When it comes to the task James is thorough, diligent and professional. He’s also very personable and easy to get along with when it comes to arranging work to be done and even going the extra yard when he’s come onsite and you ask him to look at something else. My wife has had bad experiences previously with cowboys ripping her off, but James has even rehabilitated her trust in the profession. Excellent workman I can fully recommend.

Highly recommended. Responded to advert within minutes of posting, offering a competitive price. Came next the following day and carried out a service on my boiler & completed a gas safety certificate for the property.

James is a very polite & pleasant individual, taking time out to discuss various parts of the boiler &the various tests. As a result I would highly recommend James. Its easy to see why he has completed almost 200 jobs with 100% feedback.

James was on time, courteous and did the job as requested. Happy with the service.
Also pointed out another issue with a gas hob which we will be resolving separately - thanks.
All in all, would use again!

James provided excellent all-round service, seems to thoroughly know his business and is very personable. Although I just needed a boiler service at this time, he also completed a Gas Safety Record for me. I would definitely use him again, including for any plumbing work, and have no hesitation in recommending him. Without question, a good find.

Very good service. I am always a bit sceptical of these websites (being an avid watcher of Channel 5's Cowboy Builders) but James was extremely efficient and found and fixed the problem in no time. He was also very good value for money. He did such a good job that I've asked him to quote for installation of an outside tap and a dishwasher.

We chose James Gas to quote for the job because their previous feedback was undeniably fantastic and the feedback included not just tiny little jobs to get their rating up, but many new combi boiler installations and more involved jobs too. They are also Valliant (and lots of other brands) approved which means you get the full guarantee on a boiler (ours was the ecotec 831 - 5 year guarantee). Most of my quotes from the site came in at similar prices but some of the tradesmen seemed to be suggesting options which seemed like shortcuts to me, usually trying to avoid digging a soakaway into the concrete ground outside! When James came to quote he was really personable and had a really good attitude to everything and clearly has a genuine passion for his work. So we gave James the job and we are so glad that we did. He is highly skilled, professional and a neat and tidy worker, he turned up on time, did everything, including the pipe work really neatly and had a 'nothing is too much trouble' attitude and clearly just wanted us to be pleased with the job. He had his brother William help with digging the soakaway up outside and they were both really hard workers, very personable, polite and cleaned up after themselves. I wouldn't hesitate to hire James again and would recommend him to any of my friends or family. It can be quite stressful looking around for tradesmen that you can trust and James is definitely one of the good ones. Thanks for doing a great job guys!

We chose James based on the positive recommendations and have to say we were not disappointed!During the initial consultation for boiler replacement he explained clearly what needed to be done and came across as a genuine, friendly, professional tradesman.Along with his colleague jack, the work was completed efficiently and tidily. They were both easy to get along with and worked unobtrusively. We can't recommend James highly enough-an excellent job for a very competitive price. We would use him again for any gas heating work and would recommend him to our friends.Thanks james!

An honest and affable guy, I would highly recommend James and will call upon him in the future. He explained clearly what he intended/needed to do before hand and was helpful in helping understand what the problem was to begin with.

James carried out a full gas safety check of our new house and provided a full report. He was easy to contact, very friendly and very reasonably priced. We are hoping to use his services again and will recommend him to our friends and family.

Did a good job of installing a hob and providing a gas safety certificate. James is highly personable and provided some good tips and advice whilst doing the job. However, he did promise to send a colleague to finish off the work on the radiators and despite calling several times and leaving 2 voicemail messages, he has failed to return my calls.

Great Service, Great Boiler - I love my new central heating, toasty warm! All completed in one day, James was easy to get hold of and informative throughout. Provided quote after work hours and was on time for boiler replacement. Would recommend James to any one and would use again.

As a landlord it can be difficult to monitor tradesmen and to coordinate access to the property. James worked with us every step of the way to ensure that we were kept up-to-date of what was required and the price. Both we and the tenants were happy with the work completed.

I am very happy that I chose James Gas Services. James was polite, organised, timely, efficient and did a fantastic job on my aging back boiler. He diagnosed and fixed not only the original fault, but another issue left by a previous engineer, as well as making sure that all parts of the central heating system were fully functional. All on his own initiative and for no additional charge. The price was very reasonable for what turned out to be a 2 hour job, and I cannot fault either his professionalism or his workmanship. I have no issues with using him again in future or recommending him to others.

James and his men were really good. James couldn't have been more helpful.
They were very tidy and polite. I would definitely use him again.

A very professional job with a very high level of service, got the heating and hot water system working well with the minimal of fuss, was very pleased with the job

Professional approach to the work. Clean and efficient. Gave us a good deal on an extra job that needed to be done. Would recommend to others and would hire again.

Helpful and professional service, we had a new boiler bought and fitted with a minimum of inconvenience. James also returned to answer questions and check it was working fine.
I would definitely recommend the service we received.

James and his brother came along, found the problem which initially had been caused by the Diverter Valve in the boiler. However the problem had since escalated whereby the boiler also now had a leak which had now leaked onto a micro switch and caused the micro switch to not work. In addition whilst in the flat there was small problem of the toilet not filling up properly. This needed a cheap part and to be replaced. All in all James made two visits to the property and did what was required efficiently and with the minimum of fuss. He also included in the full price a Gas Safety Cert. I found James to be Honest, very efficient and very Conscientious - I will definitely use James Eastman again.

James did a fantastic job of replacing our old combi with a new one. He was very efficient, provided a professional and hassle free service and the job was completed on the same day (a Saturday). A highly recommended tradesman.

Excellent work from James. Extremely speedy, helpful and responsive to any issues I had. Came in and did the work very efficiently and when he said he would. I would certainly use him again and recommend him.

Thanks James

James offered a competitive quote and excellent friendly service. The job was done on time with no surprises. Even when a slight problem emerged following the installation, James came back immediately and fixed it right away.

We even had another tradesperson in for another reason, and when he saw James' work with the boiler fittings and pipe work he commented several times how good the work looked and how impressed he was with James craftsmanship.

I fully recommend James!

efficient, thorough, polite and honest. can't really ask for more from a tradesman

thanks again James

James promptly arranged a visit to assess the job, and quickly identified and fixed the problem there and then. I would definately recommend his firm to anyone, and plan to get him back later in the year to quote for a bathroom refit.

It was the second time I'd hired James and as before, he was very professional and polite. He fixed the problem quickly and at a reasonable price. Would definitely hire him again.

James and his team members was efficient, professional and friendly - We would recommend him and the team to everyone. The Job included the move of the existing boiler from the kitchen to a small extension with all the changes to the existing pipework that were needed. James was the only one prepared to take on this job and finished it exactly as we wanted. If you have an non-standard or more complicated job then James is your man!

James was friendly, helpful and very professional. He was always on time, and if he was running late would text to let you know.

He installed a new boiler in a day. He was clean and tidy, the price was extremely competitive for a Vaillant Boiler. I had to leave the keys to the house with him as we were out all day and I felt that I could trust him, and I found that trust to be valid. He returned to the house just to finish some bits of paperwork off a couple of days later.

Would not hesitate in recommending him to friends and family.

James Eastman gave a very competitve quote for the boiler service, did a through job and it is now working more efficiently and quietly than before. I would recommend him to family and friends without hestitation and am glad to have finally found someone I can trust who wants to do a good job and is skilled enough to do it.

Excellent job, would definitely recommend them to others.

Very nice person, great job - well recommended!

James fitted a new boiler and we were really happy with the job he did. He came round to quote straight away and turned up on time on the agreed day. He took care to replace the cabinet covering the boiler without damaging it and carefully removed some tiles around the piping so that they could be reused. He also managed to fit the external flue outlet without needing to cut down a wisteria plant surrounding it. Overall, we were impressed by the care he took and his thorough approach (and thanks for fixing a radiator that was leaking following a faulty reattachment by a previous workman!). At the end of the day James took plenty of time to go through all the controls etc. The cost was as he had quoted with no hidden extras. Even out nervous cat seemed to like him and ventured into the house which he normally doesn't do when strangersd are there! Highly recommended.

Many thanks James- great service and installation

James installed a new boiler and made all connections onto my existing hot water cylinder and heating systems. This involved removal of our old boiler and fitting new gas & water pipes to a new condensing boiler located on the opposite side of the kitchen. The neatness of the pipework was really amazing- as an architect i have high expectations but i rarely see someone take as much care in setting out and installing their work (it seems a shame that it will be hidden in cupboards and ceiling voids!).

James and his mate were punctual and respectful to my house & posessions at all times. After a brief discussion in the morning to agree a plan of action i was happy to leave James to carry out the work unattended. Whenever neccessary James would discuss alternatives ensuring i was fully informed throughout the installation. James takes real pride in his work- some of the existing pipework (to which new connections were required) were such a tangle that James replaced these as part of the work- all to ensure the finished job reached his exacting level of workmanship.

I would have no hesitation to recommending James to friends, colleagues and users of mybuilder. James is knowledgable, friendly and punctual- he even arranged collection of the scrap metal.

All work carried out efficiently and ensured, following completion, everything was working fine afterwards over the next few days. Highly recommended.

Hired James to replace and relocate a new combi boiler into the loft, removal of hot/cold tanks, removal of gas fire, fitting of TRVs onto radiators and fitting of new thermostatic shower.

James and his team carried out the work satisfactorily and particularly neat work undertaken on the pipework and boiler in the loft. Because we moved to a mains fed system, there was an overlow issue on both of our toilet cisterns which James and his team resolved with new internal mechanisms.

There was an issue with regard to the TRVs not being the ones we requested at the beginning of the job and James came back subsequently to replace them. At the same time, James also corrected a leak of the thermostatic shower.

Overall, we are happy with the work carried out by James and his team and would recommend him to others.

James and Jack replaced my combi boiler. This included a system flush, fitting a wireless thermostat control, and magnoclean device. They did the job on a Saturday which was convenient for me. It was a very tidy professional job, no fuss, friendly and cleared up afterwards. We're very pleased with the service and the price, and happy with our new boiler.

James was really friendly and explained exactly what he was doing.

Fantastic and Professional service. 100% happy . Incredibly nice person. Did a great job. Very happy to recommend and will def use his services again.

I hired James to replace my faulty boiler.
He came over to look at the faulty boiler and quote up the job, explaining in detail what was needed, what he would do (and how) along with any other info and recommendations pertinent to the job. Very easy communication and once we agreed on a date to carry out the work he showed up on time and with all the gear he needed. Apart from the necessary drilling James and his colleague were barely noticeable in the house. His work is of a very high standard and he even fixed a wonky radiator at no extra cost.
Proper tradesman who takes pride in his work.

I'll be definitely hiring James again if I ever need any other plumbing work carried out.

After having no heating for over a year and no hot water for 3 months, i was at the end of my tether. Plumbers giving me rediculus quotes and NOT turning up. James came to the rescue with his assisatnt and apprentise,excellent service from a proffesional plumber at last, H e even offered to buy me a sandwhich, because I had no food in the fridge
I didnt need a new boiler he just worked his magic on the old 1 with added confidence that he will be on hand if it goes on strike again

James was helpful & friendly: unfortunately, the boiler was in good working order when he turned up. However, he explained why the gas valve could be "playing up" from time to time. Not worth replacing faulty part & I will need to replace current boiler in a near future. We discussed what type of boiler I might need for my property. We also discussed briefly another job & James tried to give me some advice as he does not deal with that. Overall, pleasant engineer.

As well as being an excellent plumber James understands customer service. I felt comfortable leaving James in the flat to get on with the job. The flat was left cleaner than when he arrived.

Thanks!

Recently experience suggested JGS's profile had been too modest. James was reliable, courteous, descent, genuine, honest, competent, knowledgeable and a professional. I have had problem with the hot water, the temperature fluctuates. James arrived and went straight to work. He turned on the hot water tap in the basin and hot water it came. The temperature remained unchanged after few minutes. Had it been other engineers whom I’ve had experienced of, they would asked to be paid and called it a day. James applied various methodologies testing different taps across the house after nearly ½ hour the problem had unmask itself. James diagnosed the problem, explained it to me (patiently) and provided me with solutions (apprx £600 to repair), not to his advantage might I add. He asked if my boiler was covered under warranty and I said yes. I was invited to contact the supplier so an engineer may be sent to repair the fault. He didn’t have to say anything other than ‘to fix the problem it will cost you xyz, would you like me to fix it now’?
Having dealt with cowboys in the past, James had been a pleasure to do business with. I would highly recommend him. I would add other service provider’s price may be more competitive but James and JGS is worth every penny take my word [or the other 104 customers]!
PS – I was charged £40 instead of the agreed £50…

James carried out he work in a timely and efficient manner. Extremely professional and in 20 years of working in construction one of the cleanest teams of workers i have seen. even when i reduced the scope of the works there were no complaints from him. Would recommend to all.

James was very helpful in arranging to come to my two properties to do the landlord's certificates at a time which suited both tenant parties.
He was quick in replying, reliable and knowledgeable and we would certainly use him again.

Had a new boiler fitted, thermostatic valves to all radiators and a replacement radiator. All completed by James and his colleagues in one day. This included tracking down and fixing a gas leak he discovered which, in itself, took over two hours and we were not charged a penny extra. He also replaced a plastic pipe we'd had fitted in an emergency - again, for no extra charge.

He is happy to answer questions and provide explanations. He and his colleagues are polite and thoughtful. They take care of the property both by putting down protective coverings and also by making minimal mess and cleaning up as they go.

I would not hesitate to recommend James.

Arrived on time and id the work very well and rapidly, very friendly and professional. Will not hesitate to contract for other jobs

Good job done. Good advice offered as well, thanks James.

I was very impressed with James. Not only was he very professional in his approach, turning up on time, very knowledgeable, completing and fixing the job, but he looked for ways to save me money on the job. He is very customer focussed which is somewhat rare, and subsequently I will be using him again and recommending him to any persons that ask.

james was very polite and very helpful i would recommend him to anyone i know.

James was very professional, on time, knows the job inside out and explains what will be needed etc. I forgot to get one of the boiler accessories so he gave me one he had in stock for free which was very nice.

Not the cheapest mind but you get what you pay for and I couldn't fault James on good service and quality of work. Over all very pleased with the job and how it turned out, James and his assistance Jack are both very knowledgeable tradesmen who obviously take great pride in there jobs. Would have no hesitation using him again or recommending him. 10 out of 10

We had a new Vaillant boiler fitted by James on 16th August 2010, and from the first contact with him we were impressed. He was friendly and polite, and not at all pushy as he explained everything about the job. His quote was very reasonable too and so we had no hesitation in booking him to do the work for us. He kept in touch, and turned up on time on the day of the job, with his assistant, Tom. Both young men worked efficiently and cleanly and left no mess at all.

James was happy to call back on a later occasion to answer a query we had regarding the thermostat, and we would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to others.

I can thoroughly recommend James - a true professional and decent person to deal with. It is clear from talking through specifications, options etc. that he has considerable experience in his trade and listens to what the customer needs. Work was carried out on time and the quote was fixed price.

If you read through the feedback you'll notice a theme, hard working, conscientious and friendly. And that's exactly what you get.

He finished the job a day early, and even sorted out a leak from the washing machine. And a dangerous semi bare live wire,left by a previous cowboy, for no extra charge.
I would recommend james to anyone.

If carlsberg made heating engineers,they'd probably be James Eastman.

came on time & connected hob without difficulty. Would reccomend

I cannot recommend James highly enough, my mother was very wary about getting Central Heating however James was wonderful and explained everything carefully to her and reassured her now after a week she is still singing his praises as well as Jack and Tom. After having to get by last winter with a coal fire, she is so pleased to have heat when she wakes up. I have no hesitation in recommending him and will certainly call him for any jobs he may be able to do for us.

The job involved removing a combi boiler from a bedroom upstairs, making good the wall, and installing a new boiler and necessary pipework in a cupboard downstairs. Some re-routing of gas supply pipes was required. TRVs were fitted to all rads, and a Magnaclean filter installed. An electric thermostat was fitted. The flue was routed up and out through an existing flat roof and the condense into an existing drain.

James and his colleague, Tom, came highly recommended and having used them myself, I now know why. They carried out the work to a high standard, left everything clean and tidy and were very polite and friendly. James was very happy to suggest solutions to any problems and also happy to answer any stupid questions I had! He's an entirely trustworthy chap, clearly enjoys his work, and I'd have no hesitation in using him again.

His quote probably won't be the cheapest you receive, but you can employ him with absolute confidence. Given his standard of work and your peace of mind, he'll be value for money.

After our boiler broke down I was unsure about what to do. After posting the job on My builder.com I met James.
James was incredibly helpful, talking through all the options and giving advice.
He encouraged me to get other quotes to ensure that he was indeed reasonably priced.
James installed a new boiler which I am extremely pleased with. He completed the job quickly and to a very high standard. Before he left he ensured that I was aware of its operation and that I had all the relevant paper work.
I would have no hesitation in recommending James as he is credit to his trade.

James was very positive and professional throughout the job.

The Vaillant + Pullin Unvented Megaflo type cylinder system is giving an excellent water pressure through the new 22mm. pipes he has installed.

I would recommend James and this system for any new installation.

Outstanding work. would highly recommend.

I hired James on the basis of the good feedback customers had written about his servives. I am happy to confirm it is all true. He installed a Vaillant boiler for me. The quote was reasonable. He was punctual, efficient and worked neatly. The boiler installation is first class however what sets him apart is his excellent customer service skills. I would definitely recommend him and will use him again in the future.

Extremely professional and friendly service. Before he came, James had kept me regularly updated about his progress and came at the agreed time. He resolved the issue quickly, charging a very reasonable fee. During his visit, he was extremely polite and friendly. I will definitely use him again if I need to, and will unreservedly recommend him to others.

James came by on same day that I called and turned up on time. He was very professional and I'd use him again and recommend to others.

James turned up on time and was friendly and knowledgable. He was able to advise on the best course of action given the age and condition of our boiler.

James was prompt, charming and completed the job quickly to a very reasonable budget. When we get our new kitchen in, in a couple of weeks, we are definitely asking James to come back and do the plumbing/ gas work for us. Would highly recommend.

"James provided a really professional and customer focused service. He made you feel totally at ease and properly explained what he would be doing. He was courteous and thoughtful and left my home clean and tidy!"

Excellent!!!
After going through Christmas with no heat or hot water James took on my job. He came to check boiler, explained what needed doing and gave me resonable price.
The job was booked for the 1st & 2nd of April, James later realised the 2nd was a Good Friday so rather than let me down he brought two more plumbers and do the job in just one day with time to spare. Later when i could not program the thermostate (made by Mensa) James came back and replaced it with a simpler one.

James is the kind of plumber you want straight talikng ,polite reliable professional and tidies up after himself.
Quite simply i would use him again if required but will recommend him to others i know and you.

excellent work carryed out will defently give james number too anyone who wants a decent plumber/ gas fitter ,excellent work ,tidyed up well and fairly priced thanks again

The work was carried out in a very profecional maner and fairly priced. I fully recomend this trader.

James was punctual and hard working. he promptly answered all my questions after visiting to give a quote to replace a boiler. the work was carried out without delay and everything was to a very high standard. The finished job was very neat and tidy. James was happy to accommodate all our extra requests and fixed problems that hadn't been noticed before (a leak from the main gas supply which required a new valve) for no extra charge. the job was completed in one day and everything was left clean and tidy and working fully. We are very happy with the work and would use James for any work in future, and would 100% recommend him to anyone else.

James,

was very helpful and was able to arrange the work at very short notice, was punctual, efficient and most importantly tidy (well thats what the wife tells me ;-)

james is very friendly and for a young persson he is very skilled at his job and very fair with his pricing. I would recommend James for any gas fitting job. I chose James because he straight forward with his advise over the phone.

Excellent work...highly recommended! I would hire James again.

Been meaning to leave James a positive comment for a while now on his wonderful job. he visited with very short notice, very polite, did the job very well and quickly, and also to a great price. I have already saved his number and won't hesitate to ask him back for any other future Gas works, and would definitely recommend him to friends and family.

James was very friendly and helpful in explaining how our boiler and pipes worked (they'd been playing up), as well as providing some useful pointers for unblocking our kitchen sink. He clearly knows his stuff without either patronising or blinding the layman with science and manages expectations very well in terms of his availability so I would recommend him and certainly use him again.

James was courteous and friendly. He made appointments and messaged me if he was running late.
The work he did was good and at a fair price. He was very thorough and took pride in his work - cleaning up after it. I would definitely recommend him and can confirm he doesn't make up "work that needs doing".

I would recommend James because he did a thorough job and explained to me exactly what he was doing and why he was doing it. Before he left, he made sure I understood what to expect once I began using the appliance. His rate was also reasonable. I trust his work and have asked him to come back for another job.

After 3 Gas Safe registered fitters failed to fit my gas hob, James was able to identify the problem, come with the parts and install my new hob in an hour. He even went the extra mile by cutting the worktop so the hob fit perfectly. Very refreshing to see someone taking pride in their work. James was on time, tidy and explained everything he was doing. He even took away the old hob, rubbish and cleaned after himself. James was also reasonably priced compared to other builders and we will definitely be using him again when we have our bathroom fitted and for any other work we need doing. A BIG thank you James!
