Highlights
“Alex was great from start to finish. I had a complete refurbishment which included removal of my old combi boiler and replaced with system boiler with a water cylinder. Even when I had changes required as part of my building project (switching from radiators to underfloor heating) he was was happy to accommodate this change. He has kept in touch post build when I've had questions about the installation and has resolved any issues I was having very quickly. Would thoroughly recommend.”
“Alex responded quickly and was able to fix my leaking boiler at short notice. When an unexpected issue came up during the service he sourced a cheap part and came back first thing the next morning to finish the job. Very pleased with the service and would recommend”

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.
