Thank you so much for our beautiful bathroom!" > Source: Alexandra E (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "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" > Source: Heather H (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "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.

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. - For the water-regulations side of plumbing, a WaterSafe-approved plumber is vetted, qualified to the water regulations and insured. You can check yours or find one free at watersafe.org.uk. - Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact. ## Contact - Phone: 07367 072839 --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/d-l-plumbing-services Real public evidence only: every figure traces to its named source.
