Highlights
“From start to finish very person I dealt with at H&C could not have been friendlier. I was provided a very cost-friendly quote free of charge and once accepted the works were booked for the next week. The engineer arrived on time and was once again so so friendly, the works were completed ahead of schedule and my whole kitchen was spotless. I couldn't recommend this company highly enough!”
“The service is second to none. Couldn’t rate highly enough, polite and well mannered staff who represented the company well”

Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 18 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

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.
