“David calls and visits when he says he will. Did not charge for assessing the job. He's transparent and up-front about costs. He made well-priced recommendations and no pressure to take any of them. He sourced a great value new boiler and despite my boiler cupboard being oddly placed, David just got on and did the job at a very good price. Left the place clean and tidy. A relative is a gas engineer and vouched that David's costs were good. David is good to talk to, a laugh and has a generous spirit. I would highly recommend him.”

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.
