“Darran was new to me and I've been impressed both before and after his visit. Beforehand he asked me for information which saved a great deal of time. He changed two taps for me but also began looking at a problem with the central heating which has returned after several months of remission. He made some adjustments to piping and also a plan to follow over the next few days. He also put all this information ha gave me at the visit in writing the following day which to non experts is very helpful.”

Highlights
“Darran did a superb job fixing our kitchen tap. He was very quick to diagnose the problem, suggest the necessary replacement parts, and carried out the corrective work. His explanation of the problem was very clear. He also carried out a boiler check and demonstrated once again he is very good at what he does. Very professional and I would highly recommend his services.”

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.
