Highlights
“Great service from start to finish. I got quotations from several companies, not only did they significantly undercut their competitors they were professional and reassuring throughout. When completing the work, they attended punctually and did an excellent job. Would highly recommend and will use again without hesitation should I require any further work on the drains.”
“Contacted the guys with my issue, and literally set straight off to us. I was told by previous company i had collapsed drains and would cost in the region of £2k to fix. John and colleague inspected my drains, did their own investigation and found a blockage. No collapsed drain whatsoever. They cleared the blockage very quickly. Very friendly and professional at all times. Stayed until the job was tidied up ect. Fraction of the cost i was quoted. Explained how the issue most likely occurred. Will never use anyone other than APJ again. Extremely happy with them and their work.”

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.
