Excellent work done on an old underfloor heating system that no other heating contractor would touch. They sourced a part at a price that was not astronomical compared with the manufacturers original. Also Chris was more than happy to give advice and recomendations for the rest of the heating system in conversation
Would definitely use Melville Whitson and Muir again

Melville and Whitson replaced my gas boiler. The cost of this was much better than I feared and was carried out quickly and efficiently. I now can see in another winter with no heating or hot water worries! Many thanks to Chris for arranging this and Steven for his hard work and expertise fitting the boiler. The new boiler is quiet and efficient. Many thanks.

Where would we be without Chris and Stevie!! Another great job tackled by the boys. Hot water cylinder, immersion and three radiators replaced in the way you’d expect from MWM.
Quality job completed in a clean tidy manor. Any issues dealt with professionally.
Pleasure to have them working in the house again!
Looks like they’ll be back too. Cold water tank next.
Highly recommend. 5 stars again.

We had a completely new bathroom installed.
Kevin spent time with us going through choices of materials and fittings and kept the project moving.
We had quotes from a few other companies but we liked the fact that we had a brochure to show us the type of sink and shower etc we would be getting and there was a large choice of wallboards. As the bathroom was going to be fitted out mainly with wallboards this was important to us. Also we only had to wait a few months before the job took place.
Nicky and Robbie arrived and pulled the old bathroom out and proceeded to fit in the new bathroom. Nicky made a great deal of effort making sure everything was perfect. He is very precise, resulting in a lovely job. Dean did the plastering and a special thanks to Martin (Potsy Paint) who Kevin recommended to us and who came at short notice and did an excellent job painting and the ceiling and the one remaining blank wall.
We could recommend all the above. We are thrilled with our new bathroom.

The team at Melville Whitson & Muir were recommended by a friend and did not disappoint. I needed my hot water cylinder replaced and the process was really smooth from quote to installation. Once I accepted the quote the work was carried out really quickly and any questions I had were answered within a day. The work was carried out without any mess and they even reprogrammed my timer for me. I’d definitely use Kevin and his team again and would recommend them.

A mystery slow clean water leak was soaking through the rear of our property. The bathroom fittings are built in and access is difficult. Leak was traced, parts procured and repair completed in short order with no structural or cosmetic damage to the bathroom tiling. Most impressed with both the work and the cost.

Full refurbishment of our en-suite shower room including new shower, basin, toilet, new heated towel rail and decorating.
The work went very well, with one minor change being agreed and a good solution found when we discovered fewer tiles than expected under the old shower.
Really pleased with how it looks now, thanks to all the team.
