Highlights
“Ken was brilliant throughout our en suite project. His input and design ideas made the best use of the space. His final finish is second to none and we would have no hesitation in recommending him to others. We will definitely be asking him to carry out our next bathroom project. Thank you Ken for you’re hard work.”
“I can’t recommend Ken highly enough. He’s great at what he does and really cares about his customers. He did an incredible job installing a new bathroom and a central heating system at a property I purchased this year. His workmanship is faultless and he always goes the extra mile. If you’re looking for a plumber you can trust to do the job right and for a fair price you can’t go wrong with Ken.”

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.
