“I had several general plumbing repairs & improvements required, and Glenn was very patient in answering all my questions and offering invaluable advice on the best way forward. Emails were answered in a timely manner , and was kept informed at all times. Turned up on the day and got on with all the jobs, whilst continuing to offer advice. Took pride in looking after property with the use of mats, and tidied up throughout. I would highly recommend, and will be using again for repeat business for other improvements.”

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.
