I cannot fault the workmanship, tidiness, courtesy or timekeeping. I was kept informed throughout the work which had started as 2 replacement showers but because of problems with pipework the showers had to be amended and repaired, Full marks all round!

Detailed reviews
Called CHAS as 12 years and thousands of pounds worth of work on our heating system left us with a lounge too cold to use, upstairs too hot to sleep and heating so noisy we could only run it daytime. John made some adjustments, but also told me everything we had was fit for purpose, it just needed to be used differently. He explained how to change the setup and now all problems are resolved and we constantly have a lovely warm home throughout. John was reliable, polite and so knowledgeable that I would not hesitate to recommend the company and they are definitely my first call moving forward.
Work viewed and quoted quickly. Communication with the company was great and the plumber arrived when the said. Work was completed to a very high standard and the plumber left the area as clean as possible when they finished. Only minor niggle was that the plumber needed a power socket for the work and opened and went into bedrooms without asking the person downstairs, but this didn't affect the quality of the work done. Highly recommended and will hopefully be using 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.
