Highlights
“I was very happy with Dave.s work. He was kind to turn up on a short notice in the Cristmas period to fix a leak from the bathroom that was coming through the kitchen ceiling. He was friendly, professional and efficient. The leak was sourced quickly and stopped. I highly recommend his services and will happily book him again if needed. In the future. Elin Robinson”
“Early on a Saturday morning woke up with no heating or hot water. Contacted Dave via message as I didn’t know if he worked weekends, he replied with in minutes. He expressed he was very busy but was going to try his best to help in anyway he could. Firstly running me through a few diagnostic routes unfortunately to no avail. So Dave then visited me in-between jobs to diagnose the issue, he then left again swiftly to keep his word to his booked customers and came back late Saturday evening with the part require and finished the job! Nice bloke, swift and honest job done at a fair price”

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.
