Detailed reviews
I recently used A&R Plumbing and was extremely impressed with the service. They arrived on time, worked efficiently, and completed the job to a very high standard. Everything was explained clearly beforehand and the work area was left clean and tidy. Professional, reliable, and great value for money, I would highly recommend A&R Plumbing to anyone needing quality plumbing services.
I contacted A&R Plumbing to replace a faulty kitchen waste trap seal and the service was excellent from start to finish. They were punctual, professional, and quickly got to the root of the problem. The repair was completed efficiently and to a very high standard. Everything was left clean and tidy once the job was finished, and the sink is now draining perfectly with no leaks at all. Fair pricing and great workmanship – I wouldn’t hesitate to use A&R Plumbing again or recommend them to others.

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.
