“Jose responded quickly to the job I advertised on check a trade. He came out to assess the job, gave me price for the work, and ordered the parts if I was happy to proceed. When the part had arrived he phoned me to sort out a date and time to complete the job. Jose arrived on time and fixed my leaking shower, he left the area clean and tidy. I can’t fault his service, I would definitely use Jose again.”

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.
