Highlights
“I am very, very pleased with the work carried out, the guys checked and checked again all measurements so NOTHING was botched or made to fit, the level of work was excellent. The guys worked very hard, they were very pleasant, amiable and polite. Also they did a good job of clearing up when they had finished. I would recommend this firm, in fact I am getting ready for my next project using them.”
“Gavin turned up on time, was really helpful and took time to explain how the slightly quirky heating and hot water system worked. Within half an hour he’d got all the radiators in the house working and gave me a clear explanation of how to keep things running smoothly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gavin and the team to anyone, really nice to have someone reliable locally. Thank you!”

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.
