ADR Plumbing and Heating

ADR Plumbing and Heating are a truly local company providing a fast, professional, reliable and affordable service to Abingdon and the Oxfordshire area


I was struggling to find anyone to attend to our broken down boiler with just 4 days to go until Christmas when Helen at 'the best of Abingdon' recommended ADR Plumbing & Heating. Tony squeezed us into his schedule and quickly diagnosed the problem as a faulty circuit board which he promptly fixed. Tony kindly offered advice on the general condition of the boiler and worked in a tidy and very professional manner. I would not hesitate to have him back and would be happy to recommend him.

What sets Jenks Oxford apart from other tree surgeons around Abingdon is their clear focus on great customer service, building strong local working relationships with every client, whether on ongoing contracts or one-off jobs.


The team from Jenks were outstanding. We had several trees either taken down or crown lifted and the advice given was excellent. The work was done professionally, efficiently and with great teamwork. The garden was left tidy and with logs stacked and brushwood chipped. A friendly team to have around as well!
