What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

The Boiler Repair Man has built a strong reputation in Glasgow for boiler installation, servicing and repair work, with reviewers repeatedly praising the team's professionalism and friendliness. Named engineers such as Chris, Ben, Jack, Calum, Andy and Elliott are singled out for their patience when explaining how new heating systems work, and for offering useful advice on future upkeep.

Customers writing about their orders describe prompt responses to enquiries, with quotes followed quickly by installation, even during the festive period when most trades are closed. A point made in several accounts is the tidiness of the work, with engineers taking care to leave no mess behind after servicing boilers, removing old tanks or replacing radiators and towel rails. Communication is another recurring theme, whether through email, messaging or in person, and the office staff are noted for keeping paperwork organised.

Reviewers mention clear pricing options, often receiving several budget choices before work begins, and the willingness to resolve problems not strictly the company's own, such as boiler warranty issues. The range of work described includes fitting combi boilers and smart thermostats, swapping kitchen taps and carrying out annual services. Customers frequently remark on how approachable and courteous the engineers are, particularly when working in occupied homes.

Excellent service from the Boiler repair Man. No hot water for 2 weeks and a boiler beyond economical repair, Boiler Repair Man came out, quoted (several budget options) and installed new boiler. Quick response to my initial enquiry and within 3 days of accepting their quote, our boiler was in. Can’t fault the boys that worked all out fitting the boiler 2 days before Christmas when most trades have generally shut down. Highly recommend.

After any months of our boiler not functioning properly, we contacted The Boiler Repair Man who after an initial visit, returned and carried out a significant and successful rewiring. Our boiler is now working well. Both engineers were thorough and courteous, and we would recommend them. We are so grateful for their help.

Overpriced and Disappointing Experience We contacted The Boiler Repair Man about a boiler leak (non-emergency). It took them two days to send an engineer. When he arrived, he was in our home for less than five minutes — he removed the boiler case, immediately found the leak, took a photo (to send to head office), then left. Three weeks passed with no follow-up, and the leak continued. I eventually left a review, after which head office finally got in touch — quoting £200 to carry out the repair. To our surprise, we were also told we owed a £120 diagnosis fee for the engineer’s five-minute visit — despite no repair, no report, and minimal time spent. For context, the typical rate for boiler diagnostics in Glasgow is £60–£90. We’ve since decided to install a new central heating system and boiler — but we certainly won’t be using this company again. For a basic diagnosis that took minutes, being charged £120 feels unjustified. There are definitely more reasonably priced and responsive companies out there.

Absolutely excellent! Wish I had left my energy provider's boiler cover and just paid for the boiler service with this company many moons ago. The issues that my energy provider's boiler cover could never identify and repair were identified and quickly resolved in a matter of minutes by the engineer. I was also really pleased with the professional and attentive customer service throughout (via email, whatsapp and in person). Cherry on the cake is the incredibly reasonable prices for such a high level of service. Thank you- I will be recommending you to everyone I know!
