Today I called Des to fix a boiler issue, and his service was exceptional. Before arriving, he arranged a video call to assess the situation, which meant he came fully prepared. He arrived exactly when promised and had the boiler working again within ten minutes of stepping through the door. Des’s professionalism and technical expertise were clear, he diagnosed the fault quickly and resolved it with precision. His work was clean, efficient, and carried out to a very high standard. What really stood out was his empathy and consideration, he immediately recognised that a vulnerable person lives in the household and handled the situation with genuine care and sensitivity. On top of that, his pricing was fair and reasonable, making the whole experience stress-free. Des combines reliability, deep knowledge of his trade, and a human touch that sets him apart. I would fully recommend him to anyone looking for a plumber who delivers both skill and compassion.
Des has done a few jobs for me. This time he sorted out a long standing problem with my hot water system which other plumbers had been unable to solve. Previously he repaired a gas boiler and went to some lengths to source a spare part, which others had said was obsolete and would have meant a much bigger job. He works quickly and efficiently. He is the best plumber/gas engineer I have come across in London, and I would not hesitate to recommend him. He's also a nice friendly guy who is easy to deal with.
Des came is and sorted a bunch of issues (radiator not heating, fitted gas hob, repaired waste outlet in bathroom sink). All done, neat and tidy. Cleaned before Des left. We have an older house with its idiosyncrasies. Des knows how to deal with it. No hesitation in recommending him. We have infact to done so to mates all happy.
Des did a fantastic job for us. He quickly diagnosed the issue. He was prompt, tidy, helpful - doing everything he could to make the repair swift and even keep the cost down for us. I’m delighted with his work and I would recommend him to anyone.
We were recommended Des by a trusted friend and would recommend Des to everyone! He was so polite on the phone and made every effort to get over to us ASAP. We’d had an oven delivered by Currys who said they’d install it but turns out they couldn’t… Des understood the assignment straightaway and within an hour we have a working fitted oven and couldn’t be happier with his work. Des, is a warm, friendly person and worked efficiently and to the highest quality. Very happy customer!

Had a leaking tap that needed to be replaced, and the plumber did an outstanding job. He arrived on time, was polite and professional, and quickly identified the issue. The replacement was done efficiently and with no mess left behind. The new tap works perfectly, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend their services for any plumbing needs!
Des attended and fixed a blocked drain I had been advised by 2 service providers would require opening up floorboards to remove the blockage. I am very impressed with the service he provided and happy I sought his opinion
Des arrived within half an hour after I explained my problem with the water tank. He accessed the loft and did some work on the tank which now is much quieter than before. He told me that he would give me a call a couple of days later to see that all was well, which he did this morning. He also offered to return if there were any further issues. I was reassured by Des' professional attitude and his ability to deal quickly with this issue. I would use him again in the future if necessary.
I am absolutely delighted to recommend Des! From the very first contact, he was incredibly prompt, professional, and personable. As soon as we reached out about our tap issue, he came straight away to assess the problem at no charge, which was a huge relief. When it was time to fit the new tap, he arrived promptly, fully prepared with all the necessary parts, and tackled the installation efficiently. Not only was his work impeccable, but his friendly and warm personality, reflecting that genuine Irish hospitality, made the whole experience pleasant and stress-free. Despite facing communication challenges with our landlady, Des handled everything with remarkable patience and professionalism. He navigated all the complexities smoothly, ensuring we were fully satisfied. In summary, Des is a fantastic, skilled professional, and his kindness and dedication truly stand out. We feel very fortunate to have found him!
I had an issue with my water pressure. Called on a Sunday and he answered instantly with a less than 24 hour fix. My taps are now working brilliantly. Friendly guy too. Definitely recommend and would use again if another issue arose.
Really helpful and efficient work completed. Thanks for your help, will definitely get in touch again in the future if needed!
Replaced 2 leaking ball valves in tank in the attic. Service was excellent.
First class service from Des Quinn Plumbing and Heating to change a kitchen tap and fix a problem with the sink. Des quickly diagnosed the problem via WhatsApp, told me the parts that were required (even offering to pick them up himself!) and sorted the issue with great skill. Throughout the process communication was timely and crystal clear. I’ll be sure to get in touch with Des for any future plumbing needs and would certainly recommend him to friends and family.
I called Des due to a pressure issue on the boiler . He replied within 10 mins and popped in the next morning. Impressed with his speed for sure . Des identified issues with my old pipes and changed as required . Also putting in a safety leaver to switch the water mains off . Really a must which I didn’t have! I had a question later on in the evening and he always replied swiftly , even offering to pop over to show me regardless of time . He is professional , knowledgable, goes above and beyond to help and is also a really lovely bloke .Thanks so much Des and glad to have found you for now and for the future !
Des is a very personable and professional plumber who perseveres when a job is arduous and will not give up until the job is done. As he says, we don’t do failure. I would recommend him highly for his hard work, lateral thinking and remarkable capacity to overcome obstacles to achieve a solution to a problem.
