Highlights
“I had some issues with my toilet which a previous plumber just came and plunged it and called it a day. Darren investigated the cause of the issues (a thick buildup of limescale!) properly and did a thorough job and rectified the problems. It was a last minute job and he had great communication and arrived promptly. He talked me through what he was doing and the problems we had so I understood. He and his enthusiastic apprentice Lewis were polite and courteous and I would recommend!”
“Had my boiler serviced recently and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Darren arrived on time, was polite, knowledgeable, and explained everything clearly. The service was carried out efficiently with no mess left behind. Also had the temperature adjusted as it was running a bit too hot for my liking with kids in the house!”
“Darren and Peter(Apprentice) were professional and polite and carried out the work to a good quality. Total satisfied with their 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.
