“From coming to look at the job, to quoting, and doing the Job Pat was friendly/ helpful, explaining all he was doing and why. Both he and his brother completed the jobs in a no-messing, yet precise/tidy manner. We got our invoice for payment, and it was dead on the quote- and they even managed to do extras at a very fair/reasonable price. I would wholeheartedly recommend Gatenby Mains And Drains…we’ll be using them again for future work, and will recommend to our friends/ family!”

Quick job however Pat was very responsive to my request and was flexible as to when he could come round. Pat arrived bang on time and not only cleared the drain but gave good advice to stop it happening again. Very efficient!

Highly recommended. Courteous and knowledgeable. They got straight to the underlying problem, fixed that (main drain out of the property blocked) then jetted the waste pipe to prevent further problems.

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.
