“I needed a plumber to sort out a toilet cistern and called James and he was at my house within an hour and sorted the problem in 5 minutes 👍 and there were no expensive call-out charges just a very reasonable price. Very satisfied. James obviously has a lot of experience and very polite. Highly recommend.”

Highlights
“We highly recommend James. He arrived promptly, got the job done and left everywhere clean and tidy. He fitted a new sink and tap in the kitchen and fixed some issues we had in the bathroom with the toilet cistern and basin taps. He even helped us move some furniture. A genuinely nice person who turns up when he says he will! We will not hesitate to call him back in the future.”
“What started with a much need power flush of 13 radiators across 3 floors identified some poor plumbing errors by previous trades. Everything was assessed, diagnosed and corrected and I'm pleased to say we have no current issues as a result, coupled with heat we had never experienced in our loft. Prices were great, actions were swift and all options were offered with a very honest input as to what was actually needed versus doing it for the sake of it. Excellent service and very glad to have been a customer. 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.
