Following our initial enquiry, James was very quick to get back to us. He came to visit our property and spent a lot of time assessing the problem and discussing options we hadn’t even considered. He provided a quote quickly and scheduled the work in at short notice. On the day of the works, James arrived on time was meticulously tidy and completed the work to a very high standard. Our heating system is working efficiently once again. I would have no hesitation in recommending James to anyone and would definitely call him should I need any plumbing work in the future.

Detailed reviews
These are the individual reviews we hold for JDS Plumbing Ltd, including the highlights above. The 60 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
We called James for some advice and help with a leak (toilet). James came by and gave a very reasonable quote. He then carried out the work a couple of days later and solved the issue. We found another leak (radiator) and of course knew we could rely on James to help us. He visited again and fixed the new leak. James is reliable and fair, communication is excellent. Will use again when needed and would definitely recommend.
We had an urgent plumbing problem to sort out and we gave James a call. He attended promptly and dealt with the issue and he was extremely helpful and professional from start to finish. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend James for any plumbing needs.

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.
