I had Tommy replace a boiler in my flat last week. He was able to come round and give a quote the day I called him, and moved things around to fit in the new installation within the next week. Could not have been more helpful. Explained choices and the details very well, job went smoothly and was very well done. Would not hesitate to recommend Tommy and I will certainly use him again.

I would not use anyone else, he now does my son and daughters boiler services and my own. He recently replaced a very old boiler and it all went well with a year guarantee.  Such a lovely person to deal with too. Very good value for money!  I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Very happy to recommend Tommy Rooney's excellent work again. He's been servicing my boiler for years now, but this time he swiftly fixed a leaky radiator valve. I put out a call on Friday and it was repaired - and improved - by Monday evening. I asked him if he had an opinion about my other radiators, and he reassured me as he pointed out the leaky bathroom rad was a non-standard length, which was why it caused problems. There followed a brief but detailed history of improvements in regulations for valves and fittings over the years, so that I could understand precisely what the issue was. How many plumbers will do that for you? "I've just got a memory for weird things," says Tommy modestly.

I've been using Tommy for many years now to service my boiler. He's also changed radiators for me and installed a new digital thermostat. He's very reliable, knows exactly what he's doing and is very reasonable. Always punctual and friendly. A pleasure to have in my home.

Not quite sure where all these references come from as Tommy Rooney being a great/swift communicator - that couldn't be further from our experience. 

Rang him a week ago today/Monday to check that he was able to do Gas Safe inspection/cert' for me.  Emailed him the same morning with all the relevant information, messaged him Friday to check whether he's able to schedule it in, called (x3) and messaged again today - without a single response .....

If he can't or doesn't want the work - it would be much easier for all concerned to just say so.  Really not impressed. 

Am gutted our regular Gas Safe guy of many years has retired.

Anything could have happened. 

There may  have been a medical or family  emergency for all you know.

In my experience Tommy Rooney has been an excellent communicator, and your description of him doesn't sound like him at all.

ETA: I notice looking back at posts  on this thread  that last April I said that Tommy wasn't responding to messages.

I can't now remember what the reason for the non response  was, but I do remember that he did come to my  boiler emergency, which was just as well as I wouldn't have wanted to use anyone else.

Clearly he needs to use some kind of automated message system which would kick in if he couldn't answer the phone within a certain time.

    • Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.
    • Yes, but the context is important and the reason.
    • That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in. 
    • TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
