Dave has been an absolute gem from start to finish and has completely transformed our battered old bathroom into a relaxing space to be proud of. He has consistently kept us in the loop from the very beginning and has completed the job to an exceptionally high standard. He has been so lovely to have working in the house and has been so respectful. we were really impressed by how neat and tidy everything was left in the evenings as well! We are so glad we went with Dave and will definitely recommend him to anyone needing work done in the area. Thank you so much for our beautiful bathroom!
Dave recently upgraded a shower cubicle that was no longer fit for purpose for my elderly Mother. The service he provided was exceptional from initial contact via Checkatrade, home visit, quote and finally the refurbishment work itself. Great communication, on time and fantastic workmanship - the shower looks brand new and we couldn’t be more delighted. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Dave and would 100% use his services again. Thanks Dave
Dave Lipscombe has completed several jobs for me including a shower rom re-fit, a bathroom extension and re-fit, Cloakroom re-fit and the total overhaul of my kitchen, installing new units. He is a master of several trades and during my jobs in addition to removing the old and fitting new bath/kitchenware with associated plumbing tasks he has also completed extensive tiling, floor levelling and LVT installation, plastering and general carpentry. Every job has been completed to the highest standard. I recommend Dave for all kitchen and bathroom work and will use him again without hesitation.

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.
