“we had a leak then a ceiling partly came down. Plastering is a dark art at the best of times but looking at the finished job it was immaculate. Smooth and really flat while upside down. Really skilled work and I had to admire it. Very happy with this job. note Date done is approx, i'm just getting to my reviews but was recent, perhaps end of Dec/ Jan 2025”

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.
