Joining 3/4 inch (mains) lead pipe to 15mm copper pipe.

I emailed David at 15:29 and received his quote at 19:16. The following day I suggested two possible dates and David replied later that day confirming the date and time. On the day, David turned up on time (15 minutes early) and explained what he was going to do. Before starting he checked our mains supply and found out that we shared it with our neighbor! David was affable, competent and thorough. He did the work and tided-up afterwards. To top it off, he charged us less than his quote.

Brilliant job

David and Bradley fitted three radiators for me and serviced the boiler. David responded promptly to my initial enquiry and came to look at the job within a few days. I was immediately impressed by David’s friendly manner, and the questions he asked of me when I explained I was obtaining the radiators on-line. He supplied a competitive and detailed quote which I was very happy to accept. On the day of the job, David and Bradley arrived promptly and started work almost as soon as they stepped inside. They worked tidily and efficiently, and clearly knew what they were doing. They both took the trouble to explain what they were doing as they went along which was refreshing. In particular, the boiler service which David carried out was remarkable for its thoroughness and again, he explained exactly what he was doing, and why. I will be using him in future, rather than the company I had used previously. I am absolutely delighted with the results, I am very pleased I made that initial contact, and I would recommend them without hesitation.

Annual boiler review – very good, efficient, friendly service

I have used DRH Plumbing & Heating Limited regularly for my boiler servicing. they are super efficient and, in the past, highlighted safety areas that needed attention. DRH Plumbing & Heating deliver everything I need from a trusted supplier – arriving promptly, supplying relevant paperwork for what had been checked. And emailing a clear invoice. Helpful, friendly, professional and efficient, I recommend them.

Gas boiler replacement

We had an old gas back boiler in the chimney which needed replacing. David’s quote was very reasonable and we were impressed by his knowledge and attention to detail. His assistant was off work with an injury so he had to do the whole job on his own and still managed to complete it on schedule. He minimised the disruption as much as possible and tidied everything up as he went along. We were very pleased with the work done and would not hesitate to recommend him.

Valiant Ecotec boiler repair and service

I'm very happy with the service provided by David and Ryan. I've been unlucky with tradesman in the past but a friend recommended DRH and I'm very pleased she did. They arrived as arranged and fixed the main problem with minimum fuss (needed a new pressure relief valve). They also highlighted broken plastic control knobs (tread was gone) which should have been picked up before and following their work the boiler has never worked better. I was also shown the most efficient settings for the boiler which I hadn't been shown before and which will save me money when it's most needed. The cost of the repairs needed was explained in advance and itemised on my bill so there were no surprises. Overall I'm very satisfied and plan to use them for any future plumbing work.

Excellent job

The team fitted a new radiator, removed a gas fire and an old back boiler, and moved a magnetic boiler filter into the loft. They were punctual, polite and friendly. When they originally came to provide a quote, I immediately picked up that they were very knowledgeable, honest and take pride in their work. They were a pleasure to have in my home. They kept me up to date with what was going on and answered any questions that I had. They left the house nice and tidy on completing the work. I highly recommend them.

Excellent communication & a thorough job

Dave was clear and helpful from the start and enabled me to make an informed choice about what kind if service to book. I opted for a full service but in the event he felt that wasn’t necessary and told me that. He and Brandon were prompt and courteous and he clearly talked me through each stage of what they were doing and what was (or wasn’t) needed next.

Mending failed immersion heater

Excellent work, reliable, responsive.

I had a boiler that was malfunctioning. I sent Dave an email just before midnight on Tuesday. At 7:30 on Wednesday morning he responded to my email saying he would drop by on Thursday. On Thursday he did exactly that. He sent me an email before midday Thursday to say the problem had been fixed and gave me some advice about some radiator parts that would need renewing. This is what I call amazing service.

Quick, Very Reasonable, Clean and Tidy

DRH Plumbing and Heating replaced a few washers for us late last year and we were struck as to how efficient they were so asked them back to quote on a replacement boiler and two radiators. Their quote was very reasonable and we agreed a date and time, for which they arrived promptly. They were polite, thorough and their work was fast and efficient. Once finished they left the house cleaner than they found it! The next morning I asked them if they could do some other work and they were back within a few hours. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them or their work.

Great service

Dave fixed faulty valves in our shower and kitchen tap. Excellent service, always kept us informed about arrival times, parts ordering and cost. He was always friendly and informative and left everything spic and span after the work was completed. Very happy with the cost and service.

Friendly, excellent service and expertise

Dave and his team arrived promptly at our premises to replace our boiler. He and his team kept me up to date during the process and explained things as and when required. They were very polite and friendly and they kept the site clear as they worked. They completed the job well and we are very happy with the outcome. Dave's team also assisted with another issue not realated to the main installation which was incredibly helpful and beneficial to us. I would highly recommend DRH and would definitely use them again should the need arise.

Great Service

I contacted Dave after having seen the reviews on Which trusted Trader, and am happy to agree with all others have reported. I needed help with a dripping tap and faulty ballcock. Dave gave a well priced quote and we agreed a date and time for him to visit. He arrived promptly and quickly completed the work. Kitchen and bathroom were left clean and tidy

Competent, innovative and punctual

A very impressive company, not just as regards technical competence in replacing my ancient gas boiler (I guess that competence is probably to be expected of any Gas Safe engineer qualified to install potentially dangerous equipment) but most particularly in light of Dave's ability to explain and provide innovative solutions in order to preserve existing features and to make good the structure and the finishing on completion - floorboards and fitted carpets restored, internal plastering infilled, and even external stonework made good so effectively that it would be difficult to tell that any disturbance had occurred. Dave and Brandon were punctual, extremely hard-working, diligent in minimising disruption, and pleasant company throughout their time on my premises.

First Class job

Had a problem with kitchen 'mixer' tap - the 'hot' had completely seized and the cold tap was dripping badly. Easy to make an appointment for the chap to pop over and to get a quote. On arrival, didn't expect him to say that he could sort out the problem there and then, which was great news. Agreed that a new mixer tap was the best solution (as the seized tap was ancient and beyond repair) as well as sorting out some of the under sink pipework. Mixer tap was quickly purchased from a local store. Job was done quickly and professionally, adhering to all Covid protocols and at a fair price too. Invoice was correct as per the quote. Great attitude and workmanship, highly recommended. Cheers Tim

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 register
Agree 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.
