Excellent workmanship, always tidy and left the area clean and ready for use. Multi trade job but was able to do all except electrical work without subcontractors.

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Detailed reviews
Removing old oil tank and installing new tank in accordance with current regulations involving building new safety/protection wall and new concrete base for tank. Very pleasant and helpful individual. Thoroughly recommend him.
I could not find 1 fault with James he was with me for just under 2 weeks. His workmanship is second to none he went above and beyond to make sure we had heat and hot water every night James arrived promt every day and worked non stop. He correctly worked out the correct size of radiator for each room and now the house is toasty . I had no mess to clear up which was lovely and I was more than happy with the price I would highly recommend James.

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.
