These are just some of the comments I have received recently:
Our original installation by another company in July 2007 was over complex and under engineered to cope with the sun's heat.
As a result it had to be disconnected for the summer of 2007 and 2008.
The Installers made several calls back to try and correct the system, but then ceased trading before doing so, leaving us very concerned and with a system that still did not work.
We were recommend to call Darren Stickings in June 2009 and he simplified the system, re-engineered the heat controls and considerably improved he whole installation.
We have had no problems since then and the system provides all of our hot water needs as well. It has worked faultlessly - imagine our relief; so impressed!!!
He has since been back to give the system its first service in March 2011.
We strongly recomend Darren as a first class solar tube
installer.

Thank you the recent replacement of our very tired G-rated Baxi to a spanking
new A-rated Baxi, together with specification and installation of a couple of
new radiators to balance out the house. I particularly appreciated the time you
spent explaining the equipment and location options of the boiler and ancillary
fittings – expansion vessels and so on – before submitting a quote. Since
installation, we can confirm that our heating is much more controllable and we
have lost the chill at the back of house thanks to your replacement of a very
old and inadequate radiator. We were grateful that your appointments and
installation times were stuck to and you delivered a completed project on time
and to specification – just in time for the next cold snap! Our decision to
shortlist you was guided in large part by the fact that you maintain an
informative web site with real addresses and telephone numbers - several other
traders were excluded from our short-list because we could not find them on the
web. I have also taken the liberty of adding your name to the Which Local member
database of recommendations. We will certainly be recommending you to our
friends.
Lis is hoping that I learn from the way you worked so tidily and
cleaned up after yourself. You’re a hard act to follow!

I
had at least 5 quotations for upgrading my ancient central heating boiler at the
beginning of the 2010. Darren Stickings quotation was the most competitive.
Fortunately Darren’s quote was the first and afterwards your realised his vast
experience and innovativeness compared to the rest of the people quoting.
The
work was carried in the manner anyone would have wished, with total
professionalism amazing attention to detail and organisation. The installation
was finished on time with minimum interruption to the heating system.
The new
central heating system has worked correctly from day one with no teething
problems, nasty leaks or system failures ( My friends had a similar installation
in Maidstone and after a new ceiling and 3 months of hassle the Installer
eventually got it right).
I would not hesitate to recommend Darren Stickings
to any potential plumbing and heating clients. It is important that to know that
if do have a central heating problem, just a phone call away, you are going to
get the help you need from someone as conscientious and dependable as Darren.

"A brief note of thanks for the excellent bathroom and toilet fitted in February.

"In the twenty plus years we have known the Stickings Family Plumbers we have always been extremely satisfied with the service they have provided. Recently they have replaced our old boiler and integrated it very successfully with our solar panels; a very tricky job which was carried out very competently. Darren Stickings in particular, invested a lot of time and effort in ensuring that our new boiler and heating system was successfully linked to the solar panels. We have always received a very friendly, personal service, where all aspects of the work to be carried out have been fully explained and any help or assistance required has always been readily provided.
We have no hesitation in recommending Darren as a competent and caring professional who we will certainly continue to use in the future."

"I would like to thanks your for the the fitting out of my new bathroom and I am very pleased with the result.
I am 83 and not very able, but you and your staff enabled what was quite a large undertaking for me. It proceeded in a smooth way, with the minimum of inconvenience.
May I say it was a pleasure to do business with you and should any of your potential customers wish to contact me , I would be happy to talk to them."
Mrs Elder, Minster
"Anne and I are delighted with our new bathroom. We are especially grateful to you and your team for the quality of workmanship and your attention to detail, which has provided us with a modern bathroom in keeping with our Victorian house. The bathroom feels warm and spacious and has attracted generous comment and interest from family and visitors.
As discussed our next project includes the upgrading of our en-suite and I look forward to receiving your quote for this work. "
John and Anne Mangan, Sittingbourne
