Called Chris to help change a broken basin tap at very short notice. The tap was changed swiftly and effectively. No issue at all. Great service - will definitely use him again and would strongly recommend him.

I first come across classic plumbing solutions, after working at his house. I then needed a few plumbing jobs done , sink tap replacing and a new shower fitted.So I gave him a call arranged a day and he popped round and sorted it all out for me. Since then I have had him do plumbing on other jobs fro me such as rads being replaced, taps, baths fitted and pipework run , to a full bath suite replacement. Highly reccomend his work his clean , friendly and gets the job done in a good timescale. Price isnt a problem either very fair rates for his trade

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.
