Highlights
“Clive Dabney has done two recent jobs for us in our home in Ashtead’s: he has fitted an outside tap and plumbed it into our mains water supply, and fitted a new Stuart Turner Monsoon pump to our shower. Both jobs were done impeccably well. Not only this, but he is very easy to communicate with and his fees are very reasonable for the work that he has done for us. Highly recommended.”
“To achieve the best result, expert advice/guidance was received before the job commencement. The price was provided based on the number of days on labour plus the material. The job was completed on the agreed time with an excellent standard of work.”

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.
