I called ABW today with an emergency leak! Hamish, was so helpful. Calm, kind and reassuring, he managed to attend with 4.5 hours which was amazing He found the root cause promptly and fixed it with minimal disruption to the floorboards. He also went the extra mile and assessed a separate issue that we raised. He identified the problem and gave a full explanation as to why the issue has occurred and what must be done to correct it. Excellent customer service. Will highly recommend and will absolutely use his services again in the future if ever needed. 10/10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hamish was absolutely brilliant - he arrived swiftly, got straight onto finding the problem with the electricity and solved it. Very efficient, professional and friendly. Would recommend and would use again - though hopefully we won’t need to!
Professional work, done at the price quoted, very friendly and polite and fully explained what he was doing and why.

Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 4 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

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.
