“I was very impressed with Alan's work. He arrived early to address a small rendering problem at the front of our house in south Bristol. He was incredibly hard-working, focused, and resolved the issue quickly and professionally. A reliable and skilled professional. Thank you, Alan!”

Plastered and supposedly artex a ceiling for me. Left me with a complete mess and not what I asked for. I asked him if he can artex he said yes, clearly he can not artex as artex is white not brown. All he did was replace the plaster board and put that much skim on there it's ridiculously thick now. Pictures will be attached and you can make your own mind up if you use him or not. I definitely won't recommend this guy for any artex work. He offered to come back and put even more skim on the ceiling, I said no it is definitely thick enough as it is and needs to be sanded right back and redone.

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.
