“Found I had a problem with a leaking shower pump in the loft which luckily had not yet destroyed the ceiling. Called Acra plumbing and Tony came out the next day, which was a Saturday, with a similar shower pump which he then fitted. The problem is solved without ruining the upstairs ceiling and I have a fully working shower pump. He was helpful on the phone, attended very quickly, arrived when he said he would, and did a thorough job without leaving any mess. I will be happy to use Tony again when and if necessary.”

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.

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.
