“Dwayne fixed the filter on our machine efficiently and arrived on time . Our machine is working well and it saved us buying another machine ! I used Dwayne again to fix the door on my mums machine . Again Dwayne ordered the parts quickly as I stressed how urgent it was for my elderly mother to have her washing done ASAP because of her circumstances. He once again chased up the parts and came out to fix the door updating me when he was on the way. I highly recommend Dwayne for his professional friendly service .”

My washing machine broke down, and I needed a quick fix - couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Managed to arrange an appointment the next day, and the machine was fixed within 15 minutes. A real pro!

Amazing!
Duane was just great. I called him for a boiler service, he was able to come by the same day, was very polite and super communicative. He took the time to explain any issues to me, fitted new parts where necessary and basically saved my boiler from breaking down while he was here. I will definitely be using his services again and can highly recommend him!!!

Gas Boiler Replacement
Despite a demanding work schedule during a cold spell in November, Duane was very quick to respond to my urgent request for him to attend and inspect an unusual noise which was coming from our combi gas boiler. After carrying out an inspection, he advised that due to its age (15 years old), it would be wise to replace the boiler and carry out a complete system cleanse. Within three days of agreeing to follow his recommendation, Duane had ordered and installed a new Vaillant combi boiler with a ten-year warranty, plus carry out a complete system cleanse. Working and communicating with Duane takes me back to the days when the majority of hard-working trade suppliers were passionate about delivering great customer satisfaction.

Fast and reasonable
My gas boiler wasn't working properly. DCN Hinds came out quickly to fix the problem. Less than 2 hours later the engineer had replaced a faulty part and had it working well again. No mess or fuss and the cost to fix the boiler was very reasonable.

Great for boilers
Duane has done excellent work on our boiler. He is responsive, punctual, efficient, fair, knows his stuff, and gets the job done with a great attitude. On the very rare occasion when he has not been able to do a job for some reason, I have consulted him anyway before and after work is completed because I trust him. Highly recommended!

Amazing work, so happy
I actually got let down by another member who’s on WTT site who twice didn’t turn up. So knowing that this is still the best site to go with I called DCN Hinds, sent him pictures of the problem and arranged for him to come later that day, he turned up on time, with all the parts, his work and communication was exemplary without needing any trips away to plumbers merchants etc, the work is done to an exceptional standard and I will now nevr go to another plumber while DCN Hinds is a available.

I am a property landlord and Duane has serviced the boilers and done the Gas Safety Certificates for 7 of my properties very thoroughly and professionally. He also sends the invoices and paperwork through very quickly which, personally, I like. Duane has done various other jobs for me regarding maintaining appliances at the rentals and he is always very neat and tidy, friendly and efficient. I would thoroughly recommend Duane as he goes out of his way to help - he is a genuine guy who works really hard.

Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 11 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

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.
