He was helpful, friendly and responded promptly to my calls and messages. Ilya arrived at the agreed time and fitted a toilet and bath taps that he had sourced for me. He also replaced the sealant around the bath and around the kitchen worktops. Ilya did a clean, professional job and went out of his way to be helpful, advising me on ways to increase the hot water pressure in my flat. I will be hiring his services again in the near future and would recommend this company to family and friends." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "Ilya was great; did what other plumbers clearly were avoiding doing and replaced parts rather than just cleaning for a temp fix. Thorough job, cleaned up well, on time and great communication. Will become my new go-to plumber! Recommended, thankyou!" > Source: Rob L (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "Ilya replaced a fitting in our bathroom which required removal and replacement of several tiles. He also re-tiled a shower and replaced fittings. He worked hard, kept us updated with any problems that arose and ultimately everything was finished to a high standard." > Source: Felix K (4.9, via Checkatrade) ## Trades Plumber ## Services they list _Listed on public sources or the business's own website; check directly that they cover your job before you book:_ - Bathroom & Kitchen Plumbing - Blocked Baths - Blocked Sinks - Blocked Toilets - General Plumbing - Pipe Fitter - Plumbing Merchants - Plumbing Repairs - Power Flushing - Radiator Installation - Radiator Repair - Radiator Thermostat Valve Installation ## Areas covered _Towns and areas this trader lists serving.

Where we hold a date, the check shows it. ## Before you hire a plumber _What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_ - 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. - For the water-regulations side of plumbing, a WaterSafe-approved plumber is vetted, qualified to the water regulations and insured. You can check yours or find one free at watersafe.org.uk. - Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile. ## Contact - Phone: 07727 288553 --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/friendly-london-plumbing Real public evidence only: every figure traces to its named source.
