The plumber came to replace a stop valve. The new valve put in but old one left in. I was told they would remove it later as they could not turn main stop valve off. I had this cleared by wyw and the plumber came back to remove old stop valve but did not. Apparently he had no stop valve tool. He said he would come back but never did. I had already been given the bill and had paid it. The plumber never returned and is not replying to my messgaes.

Approved plumbers on the free WaterSafe register are vetted, qualified to the water regulations and insured. Check they're listed, or find a WaterSafe-approved plumber near you.
Check the WaterSafe registerAgree the call-out fee, the hourly or fixed rate, and whether parts are charged on top, in writing, before an emergency plumber starts. Out-of-hours overcharging and 'while I'm here' add-ons are common complaints.
Be wary of a plumber who, on a first visit, says your whole system or boiler must be replaced. Get a second opinion and an itemised quote (parts and labour separately) before agreeing to major work.
Gas and boiler work is a separate, regulated trade, not general plumbing. Make sure anyone working on a gas appliance is specifically registered to do gas work, and ask to see that registration before they start.
