First class. Their engineers turn up when they say they will, know their job, work till the tasks are finished and tidy up after themselves. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who asked me.

This trader carried out a basic plumbing repair to my WC. Half an hour after the plumber left there was water all over the floor. There is no out of hours number for this firm so from 4.30 on Friday until 8.30 on Monday it is not possible to contact them to tell them of a problem. We had no WC for 5 days. The fault was fixed simply by putting in a seal that should have been there in the first place. In contacting the firm to query whether any discount had been applied to the invoice they clarified that did not charge for the second visit but the flatly refused to accept that there had been anything wrong with the work carried out the first time. No apology for inconvenience. No discount. Most annoying the refusal to admit that a mistake was made. Very poor customer service and sloppy work.

really happy with the work done - shower cubicle replaced, new shower installed. Alan visited a couple of times in advance to make sure he knew what needed done. Was very flexible with a couple of changes I wanted done and revised the quote promptly.
Work done was to a high standard, little disruption while the work was going on, installers friendly
would have no qualms in recommending to others

I have used this company several times now. They are so reliable and turn up when they say they will. The quality of their work is second to none and their prices are very acceptable.
As an older user, it is reassuring that the engineers are dressed in work clothes showing the name of the company. From experience, I know, they will do everything possible to assist the customer in an emergency.
The staff are friendly and helpful.

I phoned and spoke to a Mr McGregor at 08.30 and he was so lovely and supportive on the phone and I had everything arranged with him in minutes. I always hate phoning trade companies as it’s an area I don’t really know and It’s always been something my ex dealt with but I can honestly say that I have never felt so confident and comfortable knowing that I had left my mum and son in the hands of your company. Mr McGregor took all my stress away by dealing with my mini emergency so promptly and actually made me feel like i was a valued customer (even though I had only spoken to him for the first time and for 5 minutes).
Anyway I just wanted to say thank you - you made my life a whole lot easier that day and one of your engineers had fixed my leaking water mains by noon that same day.
Would definitely recommend you and will definitely be using your services again.

The service provided by this company was outstanding. From start to finish I received excellent customer service from Mr MacGregor and his team. The plumber who carried out the work was punctual, polite and tidy and completed the work efficiently and to a high standard. Although not a particularly big job (installing a new WC) the care and attention given were as good as I would hope for if undertaking a major project. Highly recommended!

J&E MacGregor have carried out 2 projects for us this year - the renewal of our central heating system, including pressure tank, radiators and all pipework, and the installation of a new bathroom. Both projects were priced competitively and carried out by experienced, courteous tradesmen, and both were delivered to a high standard within the agreed timescales. Highly recommended.

New radiators and a new combi boiler had to be fitted and pipework for gas and water had to be replaced under existing wooden flooring. Turned out to be a more complex job than was anticipated, but with the assistance of a skilled joiner who carefully cut a few hatches and almost invisibly replaced the flooring the heating engineers of MacGregor did a great job. We highly recommend this company.

I found J & E MacGregor to be an extremely good firm of plumbers to work with.
Having used the company before I had no hesitation in going back to them when I needed to replace my boiler. I found them to be extremely friendly as well as being very reliable, punctual and clean and tidy.
I would certainly have no hesitation in using the company again and would thoroughly recommend them to one and all.

J &E MacGregor has carried out several jobs in my property. Service has always been reliable and workmanship of good quality.
However to charge circa £178 for a straightforward supply and fit of an outside tap is vastly overpriced, including circa £58 for material.

I asked J & E MacGregor Plumbing & Heating to replace a macerator after another plumber registered in the Trusted Trader website repeatedly failed to keep his words and didn't do any follow-ups.
J & E MacGregor Plumbing & Heating gave me a detailed quote and they were very flexible on their works.
On the day of the work, the plumber was very pleasant and cleaned up the area the macerator was replaced.
I'm very happy with their work and definitely ask them another work in future.
Thank you very much, J & E MacGregor Plumbing & Heating, for your work. Your work has made me rethink good and reliable professional service still exists in Edinburgh.

On first meeting Alan to get a quote for a new bathroom suit he explained everything clearly. Plumber always turned up on time and got the job done in the timeframe advised in the quote. Staff were friendly and extremely helpful throughout. There were a couple of minor problems and these were dealt with quickly and in a professional manner. I would highlight recommend and would use J&E MacGregor again.

I asked J and E MacGregor for a quote to refurbish my bathroom and cloakroom.
From start to finish they were reliable (yes, they turned up when they said they would - every time!), polite, trustworthy, as clean and tidy as they could be under the circumstances and extremely flexible.
They did a great job of project managing the refurbishments and both works have been finished to a high quality.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

The job in question was to replace a faulty flush valve along with a slow draining bath issue, which from our records was finished at 1pm on the Friday. It's a pity that the Customer was unable to call our offices when the leak was first noticed, as we could have got the Engineer back that day to rectify the situation before we closed for the weekend. As we explained on the Monday, our daily rotas are booked up, days in advance so we were not able to come back until the following Wednesday. It was also explained that a leak at the cistern wouldn't stop the use of the toilet. On the Wednesday, the leak at the cistern was rectified and, as no further contact was made, I assume all is still working satisfactory.
Sometime jobs don't go as we plan, but once we are made aware, we try to rectify the situation to the satisfaction of the Customer as quickly as possible. In this instance, we are sorry that you feel you haven't been treated in a fair and considerate manner and will endeavour to do better in the future
