Verified by Checkatrade
Dan was excellent from start to finish. Meeting deadlines and problem solving. From gutting the whole bathroom, sorting waste removal to organising refit, sparkys, plastering, flooring and refit of new. Even took the lead in choosing design! Facilitated our choice of upgrades on sinks, bath etc. as to our choosing. No surprise costs. Thrilled with our bathroom- come to think of it... maybe we should have told him that more! We look forward to seeing him again 😊

Dan carried out the installation of a new toilet, as well as fitting the pipes and installing a sink in the WC. Dan was really professional and knowledgeable and kept me informed the whole way through. The work was completed to a high standard, and done when he said he'd do it and without any mess - really pleased I was recommended him. He's also a very friendly guy, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone or have him back to do more plumbing work. Thanks!

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.
