Dreadful. He said he did the job but other than using a lot of my loo roll and smothering everything in silicone I couldn’t really tell What he’d done. Told me it was £279 and I had to pay him into his personal account otherwise I would have to pay VAT and it would be more. Refused to leave unless I paid him. Told Me the work was guaranteed. Started leaking again three days later but he never answered his phone.

Detailed reviews
Having contacted them about our small leak we were told that it would be a £49 call out plus any work. no identification was shown and after borrowing a chair and kitchen towel to look at the problem we were told it would be £247. I refused this as too dear but was told i still had to pay the call out fee. He then played with his phone and said the company could do it for £168. i agreed because if i had to call someone else out their call out fee plus the work would amount to the same. Repair was completed. Had to ask for a receipt which i wrote out. I believe not worthy of checkatrade

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.
