Official checkOn the public register
Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check — a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 8 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
"I urgently needed a plumber after noticing water on the ceiling of the landing and also down the wall, coming from the loft. I called James having read some recommendations about his work on social media and wasn’t disappointed. He turned up promptly to have a look at the problem and quickly set about fixing it which he did in no time at all. If you need a friendly and efficient plumber then I’d definitely recommend this business, I’ll be using James for any plumbing work I have in the future. Fantastic service!"
"Excellent work. Kept in contact. Inspected the problem and fixed it same afternoon. Very reasonably priced too. Efficient."

We used James Warburton (via an estate agent) to complete some plumbing work for us on a property in Winsford. At first he seemed reliable and professional. However when we went to the property to look at the quality of work we were so shocked. The work was messy and incomplete. Whilst the bath was being fitted the wall tiles were damaged and grout had been smeared all up the wall. We had paid in full and when we tried contacting James he didn’t not respond. We haven’t been able to get hold of him for months now and have to pay another tradesman to come and complete the job. AVOID
