Highlights
“James has just re-fitted our bathroom and we are absolutely over the moon with it. His workmanship is to a very high standard and nothing was too much trouble for him, we added extras on for him to do towards the end which he had no problem with. He is very easy to talk to, always on time and always tidied up at the end of the day. We have used James several times and have never been disappointed.”
“Really pleased with the work! James installed a new thermostatic shower over the bath, fitted a new bath tap and shower screen, and extended the tiling. Everything was done efficiently and to a high standard. He was friendly, helpful, and flexible with timing, and left everything clean and tidy. You can tell he really enjoys his job and takes pride in doing it well. Great quality workmanship and a pleasure to deal with — I’d definitely use him again and highly recommend his services.”
“James was recommended by a neighbour who’s used him for years. A genuine delight to meet someone so hard working, conscientious and pleasant. Great communication, always punctual, nothing too much bother. Designed a new en-suite layout, advised on fittings, supplied and fitted to a very high standard. Uneven walls didn’t phase him when fitting panels and perseverance and skill won out. Can’t recommend highly enough. Our new go-to guy: friendly, professional and trustworthy.”

Worth checking 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.
