“The Drain Doctor Team carried out detailed surveying and drainage works in a time efficient and professional manner. From technical queries to operatives on the ground I can not recommend them highly enough”
“James from draindoctor visited us to help resolve/understand why we were having slow drainage in some places in our house. James was polite and did a fantastic job to identify where the blockage was coming from and what caused the issue. The cause was found and removed with speed.

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.
