Megaflow expert & completely reliable

Dan was always approachable from the start of the job and during the entire project. Punctual and reliable at all times and always willing to explain things. When an unexpected problem arose Dan sorted it without fuss and took the time to explain in layman’s terms the problem and the solution. I wholeheartedly recommend Dan for all of your plumbing requirements.

Boiler Service

I have used several companies over the years to service our boiler , some are very poor, some are just OK. I contacted D J Meara, they arrived on time, were professional, polite, friendly and left everything clean and tidy. The cost was very competitive. I will definitely use them again so I now have them in my contacts list.

Dan, Joe and Ellis completed a boiler installation, power flush and complete new gas run for me. They arrived on time and went well above and beyond to get the job completed, they were extremely professional, polite and proactive in resolving any issues that arose during the installation. They explained what needed to be done very clearly and concisely and, when options arose, they were very thorough in explaining the pros and cons involved. The work was completed rapidly, to an extremely high standard and all making good and tidying up was carried out quickly and clearly. In terms of cost, they were extremely competitive, especially given the high standard of workmanship and time involved in completing the installation. I would most certainly recommend D J Meara Heating and Plumbing to anyone that needs this kind of work done.

Our Family have used D.J.Meara Heating & Plumbing for over 10 years. It is the only Company that I trust with our house as our family home has been generationally passed down and is so important to us. The team are extremely knowledgeable, personable and trustworthy. They are easily contactable which is crucial when you need them and their work is efficient and reliable. The work they carry out for us which includes boiler installations, boiler servicing, Radiators, and general plumbing work is explained clearly and to a high standard which is what you need when a trade is working in your own home. I have and would only recommend this company.

I highly recommend this Company - they are an excellent team and do great work. They have worked on several jobs for me (large and small) over the past five years and I have consistently found them to be highly competent and reliable with clear communication and a friendly (super-polite!) approach. I recommend them whenever anyone asks me if i know a good plumber.

Dan and his team are excellent, from installing a new boiler five years ago and now carrying out the annual service to completely refurbishing a bathroom. They are friendly and always leave everything tidy. We would choose them every time and highly recommend.

Dan and Joe have been doing my annual boiler check for 3 years now. It was not until I started using their company that I realised how poor my previous heating engineers had been. You could not ask for a more professional, reliable, and courteous service. I shall have no hesitation in requesting their work for any future heating/plumbing needs I may have.

Had a gas leak late last night. Got recommend to call Dan. He came round first thing next morning, spent the day here and didn’t leave until the issue was resolved. Fantastic customer service for a very fair price. Would highly recommend.

Professional expertise quick to assist in emergency situations. Problem resolved and given advice on what to look for. I couldn’t have wished for better help especially when it’s something I didn’t have a clue how to fix or have had to seek such services before. In those times you want to feel safe and looked after. They exceeded my expectations and I am so very grateful.

First time we have used Dan and very satisfied with the work undertaken. Two separate jobs to undertake both completed professionally. Arrived on time, work completed with the minimum of fuss and he and his colleague cleaned up thoroughly on completion. Would fully recommend.

Having been let down by BG despite having their HomeCare Plan, I asked for recommendations for a heating engineer on our local residents FB page. D J Meara Heating & Plumbing Ltd was the most frequent mentioned. So I rang, and despite the time of year (December) & short notice, Dan offered me an appointment within a few days to carry out an annual inspection of my heating system. He was very amicable, offered advice where necessary, and was very thorough during his inspection … all at a reasonable price. A short time later, I made a second appointment to have the dripping washbasin taps in my bathroom repaired. This time another member of the team (and an assistant) arrived. They too were very friendly & efficient. All of the team were very courteous, and respectful of my property. They worked cleanly & tidily and offered to put on shoe covers before entering my home. I have dropped BG and will continue calling on Dan and his team for my future needs.
