## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "I had an emergency with my boiler as the pressure valve went dangerously high. Alex told me what to do until he could get to me and he was with me within 40 minutes. He sorted the problem quickly and it was such a relief. I would recommend Alex and ACV Plumbing for reliability and as a company that goes out of it's way to help it's customers"

> "Can't recommend ACV highly enough. Did a first class job in exceptionally difficult circumstances - Alex's apprentice and roofer were both off sick, yet instead of delaying the job, he completed it all on his own. He walked us through the new system in detail, answered all questions and the work was completed to a high standard, no mess. Also went the extra mile to look at leaky radiator thermostat for us which he didn't need to do but still did so. A true professional."

> "We needed a new shower fitting as our existing one had such poor water pressure. Alex installed it in no time and also helped plumb in a new washing machine whilst he was at it. The job was professional, fast and reasonably priced."

## What this business says about itself
_Self-declared on the trader's own website, not independently verified:_
- Emergency availability: emergency call out

## Before you hire a plumber
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade — general guidance, not a claim about this business:_
- Agree 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.
- For the water-regulations side of plumbing, a WaterSafe-approved plumber is vetted, qualified to the water regulations and insured — you can check yours or find one free at watersafe.org.uk.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
