“Came less than 48 hours after first contact which was great. Definitely use again. Replaced a leaking waste pipe from a back to the wall toilet pan without having to remove the pan which meant no making good necessary after work done.”

Detailed reviews
Dan was very helpful providing different suggestions of how the work could be done. He was always on time and easy to chat with. The work was of an excellent standards.
I found Dan to be very polite, friendly and knowledgeable about the repairs he undertook for me. The works he carried out was to repair a leak under the bath, seal around the bath, replace toilet flushing parts, replace kitchen mixer tap, seal around kitchen sink and reaffixed a leaning radiator in my lounge. It was a blessing to find him and I would not hesitate to use him again should the need arise. I would definitely recommend him to family and friends.
Was having difficulty finding a reliable & honest plumber to replace a faulty bathroom tap. Fortunately, I came across HandyDan and from start to finish, I can't fault him. He promptly returned my call, quoted for the job, arrived when he said he would, completed the job in a timely manner (no flaffing around), and provided an invoice/receipt without me even having to ask for one. Would I recommend Handy Dan? Yes.
I love my new bathroom installed by Dan and would highly recommend him.
We had a leaking radiator and Dan did a great job diagnosing the problem and fixing it (valve needed replacing / removing). It was a good job at a fair price. I have recommend Dan to friends who also had a very good experience.

A strong odour was coming out of my kitchen sink. I called Homeserve who I have insurance with for plumbing and electrics who came and advised I had to do a lot of work (an expensive job) to fit a “trap” to prevent the odour coming out of the kitchen sink as the original plumbing was done without one. I had another plumber inspect and he also said that I would need to reconfigure the plumbing completely which would be hundreds of pounds to fix. I called Dan and he had a look and explained that the solution was very simple and did not need such extensive work. He fixed the problem with one “trap” in less than 10 minutes and charged me a fraction of the price quoted by the previous plumbers which was a fair and reasonable price. Dan was very professional, he explained what the issue was and fitted the part for me in no time and now I have no odour whatsoever coming from my kitchen sink. Thank you very much Dan! Will definitely be using his services again and highly recommend!
Had a leaky pipe under the floor. Dan was able to come round and repair it just a few days after I contacted him (it was not an emergency). He fixed it very quickly and neatly. I would definitely use him again and recommend him to others.
Dan is a lovely person, very friendly and great at his job
Dan is professional, friendly and has fitted two sinks for us. A genuinely nice man, and fantastic at his job. He was also tolerant of our kitten who tried to help. Value for money, will certainly have him back again to fit a new bathroom suite in the future.
Dan was very polite, efficient and punctual and great value. Would highly recommend him.
We had a loose, leaking kitchen tap and needed help with this. There is a water filter connected to the tap. We contacted Dan, who responded quickly, asked for photos of tap and was able to attend the very next day. Dan was able to fix the tap and advised that we needed to order O-rings for our specific tap, which we did. It's now all sorted and Dan was very professional and did a fantastic job for a reasonable price. Thank you so much. Would definitely recommend and will definitely use again.
Yes Dan was very good i was very pleased with the work carried out, he was polite and Punctual and did a good job cleaning up would definitely recommend him.
Great service and friendly. Wi definitely use Dan again if/when needed. Thanks Dan.
Dan turned up and did the leak repair the next day. Very tidy, first class. Thanks, Jason.
Dan came over to remove the radiator at very short notice, he was helpful and on time. Did the job well as expected and ensured my carpet was protected. Would definitely recommend and use again.

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.
