Highlights
“We have used Darren previously, and this time we needed our power shower and kitchen mixer tap replaced. Darren was able to complete the work at short notice, was punctual, very friendly, reasonably priced and completed the work to a very high standard. Would highly recommend”
“Urgently needed a plumber due to water coming through kitchen ceiling. Called Darren who came round within 30 mins and had the issue sorted within an hour. Previously spoke to our insurance company to get the work done but due to their process it would have taken 3 days! Really pleased with the result and would be happy to recommend”

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.
