Excellent5.0★★★★★ Based on 276 reviews fromPaul Rendell ★★★★★ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Star Review
Fantastic, prompt and reliable service. Great to have found a decent local company to use again in the future. I had an issue with my boiler, which was overdue a service, along with our water tank. Garry came out the following day and was able to sort the issue by doing the boiler service, so no additional costs to worry about, which was great. Garry was friendly, professional, talked me through what he would be doing and even emailed over photos of the work carried out. Hassle free experience all round so haven’t hesitated to recommended to friends and neighbours. Thanks again Garry!Paul Rendell ★★★★★ Fantastic, prompt and reliable service.

We recently had two jobs done — a boiler replacement and the installation of a Hive heating control system. Both jobs were carried out to exceptionally high standards with no issues whatsoever.
Gary and his team were professional, efficient, and friendly throughout the whole process. They arrived on time, worked neatly, and made sure everything was up and running perfectly before leaving. It’s a real pleasure to deal with a company that takes such pride in their work and delivers excellent customer service from start to finish.
Highly recommend Stark Heating to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality heating engineers. Thank You! 😊

Had the guys out for a boiler service this week, friendly and efficient, done and dusted within an hour! Gave an honest opinion on my ageing boiler, would definitely use again.
Fantastic service from Stark Heating & Gas Ltd. The water pump stopped working in a house and we had a low water pressure in a house. Contacted Gary to arrange a quote for a new way of water supply and a new indirect cylinder installation. Once the quote was accepted, Gary and team were able to start few days later, which was a massive help. The full installation was carried out within a day, with the work being to a really high standard. The Stark Heating & Gas Ltd have been a trusted, competent, reliable and reasonably priced company, personable service, great communication and a pleasure to deal with.
Excellent service from Garry, from looking after my home, to properly servicing the boiler and explaining to me everything he had done, the service was first class.
Stark Heating & Gas to my rescue again!Nicola worked her great magic to fit us in and Garry had my issue diagnosed, part ordered and part fitted all within 24 hours!What a team they are, we as a family have had our boilers looked after for a number of years and cannot recommend them highly enoughExperts in their field and need a 6th star!Thank you again guys for your impeccible service!! 🙂
Excellent service! They arrived on time and did their work to a very high standard. They’re still very helpful whenever I have any questions. Thank you for the great job!
Stark Heating and Gas did a fabulous job of replacing my boiler and flushing out 20 year old radiators last year. This week they came back to do the annual service, and everything was great once again. Highly recommend Garry Stark/Stark Heating and Gas.
Appointment kept on time. Boiler repair undertaken. I would recommend Stark Heating & Gas. They are very efficient and helpful and quote before the work is undertaken so you know what you will be paying.
Got a boiler fitted few weeks ago which was a very easy going process no stress at all. Everywhere was tidy afterwords. Today had an issue with my boiler and they came out within 1hr of me getting in touch, fixed the boiler. Amazing company !!!
21/10/2025 - Another great service this year from Stark Heating & Gas with Garry and Ryan. Garry has continued his professional service liaising with the manufacturer to solve some issues with hot water tank. Garry carried this out in a professional and friendly manner, and nothing was a problem during this process. In addition, Garry and Ryan carried out the annual service today to the boiler, arrived on time, no mess, and always friendly and helpful with their advice. Again another 5 star review for their excellent continued work. Thank you for everything, it is always appreciated.I would highly recommend Stark Heating and Gas. We have used their services several times, including repairs, the replacement of our old hot water tank system, and a boiler service. On every occasion, we found Garry to be professional in both his communication and completing of all the work in our home. Each time Stark Heating has performed work, we have been informed about what to expect, and they always leave everything clean and tidy afterwards. In addition to the five-star service during the work itself, this level of service continued when a fault arose with the hot water tank weeks later. Garry took our evidence of the issue to the manufacturer and coordinated with them for further troubleshooting to resolve our problems. Together with Stark Heating and the manufacturer, a solution was reached. Based on my experience with all the work completed by Stark Heating, I am confident that we are dealing with professionals who guide you through every aspect from start to finish. Thank you!
The engineers were extremely knowledgeable and helpful.The receptionist was friendly and sounded really nice.We will definitely be using them againGreat ServiceThank youSuexFor C A J Property Investments Ltd.
Replacing a boiler in an household is a major event and an efficient, competent installation is a priority.Garry and Ryan fitted our boiler with that friendly professional way, taking time to answer any questions we had.I certainly have no reservations in recommending Gary and Ryan to anyone who would want an efficient boiler carried out.
Garry is local to us and runs our yearly maintenance on both gas boiler in general as well as hot water cylinder.I appreciate the ease of communications, punctual process and willigness to go extra mile to get all done with transparent pricing.Like my wee one can be very curious and even with her asking why million times all was done with smile and attention to detail.
