“Rang this company this morning as my boiler was dripping water over the weekend. Dan came within 2 hours as he was in my area doing another job . He fixed it straight away . So grateful as we couldn’t put on the central heating or have hot water over the weekend and I was concerned for my heart failure husband . Thank you so much Dan . Will never use another company again . From Eileen”

New boiler and shower fitted during the lock down, great service and very reasonable.
Very pleased with work carried out replacing bathroom tap. Indication of cost was discussed prior to visit and no additional charge applied. Initial call back was prompt and arrived on time. Would use again.
I was extremely impressed with the service that Dan gave. Even though we had to cancel as the problem wasn't to do with plumbing, Dan gave us excellent advice over the phone and assured us of any issues he would help. Very impressed and would recommend to other and use his company in future. Thank you.

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.
