Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Highlights
“Excellent service. The shower was fitted quickly and is working well. All packaging was taken away by the friendly and polite young man who did the work. Highly recommended”
Detailed reviews
We had Jo from alto Barron come out and switch our boiler from a system boiler with water tank to a combi boiler. Originally there were no issues, other than some poor time keeping. However, since he has came out we have had a leaky pipe from our new boiler onto our kitchen surfaces which has now damaged our kitchen surface, this has persisted from a week after the boiler was fitted. He has came out once and “fixed” it however the problem persists and Jo is now no longer answering texts regarding the matter.

Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 8 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

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.
