Highlights
“Water heater leaking unrepairable so Mark replaced with a new one the same day. Excellent service and a pleasure to deal with.”
“Really pleased with the work Mark carried out. Would recommend Hobson's Gas and Plumbing to family and friends.”
“This was the 2nd time we have had to call Mark out for an emergency leak this time with the bath he came promptly and after diagnosing the problem carried out the necessary repairs and all has been good. In my own attempt to remove the bath panel I damaged it and Mark offered to source us a new panel and came back to fit it in the meantime he also changed out two toilet water cisterns that were old and we’re in need of replacing. Mark has never let us down and I would highly recommend his services.”
Detailed reviews
Clean, tidy, professional and a pleasant man
Mark was very friendly, agreed a time for the work and kept me informed as to when he would arrive. He fixed a leak under the bath, replaced electric shower switch and completed annual boiler service. Everything was left tidy and work completed with minimal fuss, and very reasonably priced. I will happily use Mark's services again, and would recommend him to anyone needing work done.
Cleaned my gas fire and flu. Very pleased with his work. He was very pleasant and efficient and cleaned up after he had finished. I would gladly recommend him.
Really friendly and approachable person who knows his stuff.
Recommend to my friends and family.

Boiler service.
Excellent attitude and work carried out.
Seal of soil system connecting toilet due to leak.
Unblocked shower and sink drain.
We contacted Mark after the plumber our insurance company sent said he had repaired a leak in the attic but we found it still to be leaking. Mark came even though it was in the evening he diagnosed the problems carried out some replacement parts and since all has been good. Would have no issues in contacting Mark again for any other plumbing work and would highly recommend him to anyone. David T
So glad we managed to find Hobson’s on trustatrader. He installed a new gas fire for our elderly dad and not only is the workmanship of the highest quality, he was very kind and respectful to dad. He also was quick to respond to all our queries. Can’t recommend highly enough
Mark is an excellent plumber. He removed and installed a new gas fire. Mark provided great service, very professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend Hobson's Gas and Plumbing.
Removed and capped gas fire and system rechecked. Professional and friendly would have no problem using Mark again.
Excellent, very trustworthy, would recommend to anyone

What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.
Verify at the sourceCheck them yourself
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.
