We had our bath taken out and a new walk in shower/extractor fan/ceiling/flooring/lighting done. The team arrived promptly everyday, gave us regular updates on progress and even trouble shooted things they found done by previous tradesman, to ensure our safety. They tidied up everyday before they left and took away all removed items. They were courteous and very efficient - I would not hesitate to use them again.

Leighton's have recently replaced our old gravity system with a new Ideal Vogue Boiler with a 12 year warranty. The installation included installing TRV's where we had them missing, removing all the old water tanks from the loft and cupboard, installing a small radiator in the cupboard, a new bar shower and also a Nest thermostat. From the very start of the process of Mike visiting us to undertake the survey through to the guys completing the job went very smoothly and finished product is just great.
They've done a great job and we intend to get them back to replace our radiators when the weather improves. The price was very competitive and these guys work extremely hard and almost make the job look easy!
