Graham Pope
Ryan and the team at Surrey Heating Specialists are excellent. I signup up at the end of 2020 and chose them as their contract options were coming in a lot cheaper than British Gas. I didn’t expect the 5* service I’ve had for the last 4+ years. Professional, timely, honest, and friendly. They also have a plumbing arm that I’ve used a lot, same exceptional service. I’d highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Graham! We're thrilled to hear that you've had such a positive experience with Ryan and our team over the years. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we appreciate your trust in both our heating and plumbing services. We look forward to continuing to serve you!

Response from the owner:Thank you Elaine, we are pleased you’re happy with our service.
RP Whiteford
We have been customers of Surrey Heating Specialists for about 5 years. We are very happy with their service contract – it's so much better than that offered by British Gas who were our previous suppliers. The engineers, especially Paul, are always cheerful, polite and thoroughly professional when they visit our home and are willing to go the extra mile answering our questions and concerns. I highly recommend their services - a definite 10 out of 10!
Response from the owner:We're grateful for your review. Thank you for trusting Surrey Heating Specialists with your heating requirements.
Surina Bawa
Used this company yesterday to get our boiler serviced and they were great! Really friendly, informative, didn't leave any mess and gave some helpful tips. Thank you! Will for sure use again. Jazz and Surina Bhangu
Response from the owner:Thank you for the wonderful review, Surina! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great experience with our team during your boiler service. Your kind words about our friendly and informative approach mean a lot to us. We look forward to serving you again in the future!
