Highlights
“Just had Simon to fit a new boiler and bathroom radiator for us. The boiler was relocated from downstairs to upstairs so quite a bit of work was involved. Simon is great, very friendly, helpful, but most of all he knows his trade like a true professional. He delivers a first class service, ensuring everything is done correctly, no short cuts are taken. Very happy with the quality of the work done, and would certainly recommend him.”
“Top notch service. Boiler decided to call it a day, called the man and he was around a few hours later. All work done professional, no bad trade antics. Highly recommend!”
“We arrived home from our holiday to find (Classic) no hot water...a local plumber needed asap.... An emergency call-out message was left last night and Simon arrived this morning around 10.00hrs. Diagnostic checks with replacement parts, 30 minutes done... Clean tidy with an Excellent professional service ££. Now booked in for full service and hot water system check up etc. In our opinion a worth while preventative maintenance investment indeed, ..”

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.
