“Brilliant Job by Dave – Couldn’t Be Happier! Dave plastered all of our upstairs and the results are absolutely fantastic.

He was reliable, turned up when he said he would, worked efficiently, and kept everything tidy throughout. It’s clear he takes real pride in his work, and it shows in the finish. Nothing was too much trouble, and he just got on with the job without any fuss. If you’re looking for a plastere”

Worth checking yourself

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.
