Highlights
"This is the second time we have had work done by Doug Heys (which is testament in itself!). The first time was about 11 years ago and involved replacing the boiler for a new Worcester Bosch. This time, having recently moved house, we had the boiler upgraded to a combi Worcester Bosch which involved the removal of all the old header tanks and associated pipework. The quality of the work is outstanding. There was absolutely no mess left to clean up, the installation is spot on and everything was explained in detail. It was a pleasure to have the lads in our home! Highly recommended!!!!"

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 24 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.
