Highlights
"Superb bathroom fit by Melvin. He is a mastercraftsman. Our new walk in shower and fitting of a modern shower is the centrepiece of the bathroom. He created a wall niche to enable soap and shampoo bottles to be at hand when taking a shower. Wonderful."
"What can l say.... Melvin and his team were amazing and l am honoured to have found him. Melvin is trustworthy, hard working, professional and was always conscientious of my budget. He was always on time and worked so hard to create some amazing spaces. He was mindful of my brief and listened to what l wanted and needed, and created something that was just wonderful. I would definitely recommend him for any job as it was a pleasure to see him work and create my beautiful bathrooms, new sun room and bedroom / playroom. Melvin is a truly talented builder and plumber and is just brilliant."
"A very difficult job requiring experience and expertise. Many thanks Melvin."

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.
