Plumbox

Great company. Was able to fit a major job within a short space of time after the original quote. Very good after sales support when we had a slight problem. A plumber was sent to us within a couple of hours. We have no hesitation in recommending this company.

I am glad to wholeheartedly recommend Mr Michael Thomas’s PLUMBOX, the local Cambridgeshire boiler & plumbing company who in October 2023 fitted an excellent new boiler and did much else besides so as to get my heating-system running like Swiss clockwork in my 1980s four-bedroomed home here in Newnham.Director Mr Thomas phoned up & came to evaluate my needs for a new boiler within hours of my enquiry, and then his expert Engineer Mr ‘Dan’ Cutts, fitted it. Dan was a pleasure to have around the house for his cheerful focus on his work that he clearly took satisfaction in doing thoroughly, and all I had to do was fuel him with an occasional cup of coffee and shortbread biscuits. If a new boiler is going to work at its best and the warranty hold good, it benefits from the system flush-through and other sundry works to boiler-piping and flue, particularly on older kit… and all these works were included within the quote…a quote that was very fair and competitive with other firms [other firms who were far less impressive in their going about a quote]; and let me emphasis that Plumbox was a FAR more attractive option than the impersonal goliath of British Gas. So, if you want old school trustworthy and cheerful pride in their work, then I warmly encourage you to invite a visit from Plumbox.Dr Nick Baylis, 22 years a homeowner in Cambridge

Michael was incredibly friendly and professional. He was able to come out 4 hours after I called and fixed the problem with little fuss. He also recorded the fix to help me in future. I would definitely recommend and will use Michael again in future.

Use Plumbox! Michael and his team are exceptional. I've worked with tradesman for 25yrs and Plumbox have shown themselves to be above the rest. Highly recommended.

Michael and the team were very professional and did a great job fitting a new water cylinder. Would definitely use them again

As a retired surveyor, I have been experiencing great difficulties in finding suitable plumbing, heating and maintenance engineers, since my return from York, six years ago.These included national and local tradesmen, who generally didn't seem to want my business.They often didn't repond to my calls, sometimes ignoring them completely, or just not completing their work. satisfactorily.Having employed Plumbox for the first time, and servicing my boiler successfully, I am hopeful that I do not have to look further for an engineer.

Installed a new whole central heating system (gas pipes, combi boiler, radiator), gas cooker and outside water taps. Really happy with the service and information throughout the process from quote to completion. Michael is very responsive and get in touch with us the whole time.The fact I like most is that it's easier to get in touch with him (who is in charge) directly and customise your needs even in the middle of the installation, unlike big companies where you ask a question and it takes ages to get back and you only speak to the admin/receptionist and cannot speak directly to the person in charge. You can ask questions and opinions from him. They will explain to you which is most suitable for your needs. During the installation, we requested to upgrade one of the radiators, and install an outside tap at the front of the house, which was done quickly. We also requested to customise the combi boiler and flue location and the way it is attached to the wall and also to upgrade the wireless control to Google Nest, which Michael agreed to do it straightaway.Price wise, the quote is very reasonable compared to others and the radiators used are of good quality. You will know if you shop around and ask quote from others.The installation time is great although it took just one more day than expected. But this is due to the fact that they are installing a whole new system (not just replacing old rads or boiler). They explained that they want to get it right in the first place rather than rushing to finish it, and then homeowner faces with issues later down the line. I prefer this way and I can see his whole team is doing their best. When I am writing this review, it's almost 3 weeks since completion. And I don't see any issue like leaks or gas smell or such.They took extra care during the installation to control dirts and dusts like laying plastic sheets throughout, covering items as needed, vaccuming at the end of each day, etc. They cleared everything after completion including the old hot water tank, loft cold water tank and all old pipes.Thanks Michael and his team for their brilliant service. Can't recommend enough... :)

Fixed a leak in bathroom when they said they would. Had to move a lot and rip a lot out to get to where the leak had damaged but the bathroom looks exactly as it used to as a consequence and the leak is fixed. Pleasant to deal with and came round exactly when thy said they would.

Michael and team serviced our boiler and fixed a long standing problem with our underfloor heating, very happy with the work and will be using again!

Plumbox did a great job at resolving my shower pump issue. The my house had an incorrectly fitted shower pump which stopped working after I had moved in. Not knowing anything about plumbing or shower systems, it was great to have the issues explained clearly to me, for the work to be carried out quickly. The communication from Plumbox was great and they were always happy to answer my questions. Will definitely use them again.
