Highlights
“We had an emergency when a radiator pipe came detached. Dave answered the phone straight away and was able to divert from his job to fix the problem. He was calm and had a can do attitude. Very reasonable cost, we are very grateful.”
“Moved hall radiator, fixed four hives to various radiators throughout the house, removed old bath and replaced it with a shower and shower surround. Great job. Very reasonably priced. Arrived when he said. Excellent workmanship.”

Dave did everything we asked him to do at a very reasonable price.
Excellent service. Dave responded to our initial enquiry straightaway and came within 48 hours. He resolved the problems with our troublesome loos within the morning. We had a new loo seat and he even put that on for us.
Can not rate highly enough. Despite being over 40 miles away on another job, David found time to come to me the same day as he knew I was in a fix. Sorted issue quickly and efficiently at a very reasonable cost. If only all tradesmen were as professional. Thank you so much.
Had a problem with my shower. David came and sorted it so its useable again. Very pleased with the pleasant friendly service. Would highly recommend
David responded the same day as my original contact via TrustaTrader site. He was very responsive and adaptable. He quickly identified the root problem and gave me a solution very quickly. He was extremely helpful and supportive in fixing a problem in an old property. He searched out the stopcock, turned off the mains water and ensured the header tanks were properly drained and left everything in a safe condition, even ensuring the heating system settings were adjusted. A very pleasant professional service - a pleasure to deal with.

I had a hidden leak causing damp behind a stud wall but couldn't identify the exact source. Called MDB at 11.15am. He was here by 12.30, found the leak at joint of pipes under the floor at the foot of the bath and had it all sorted before 2 pm. Very efficient and very reasonable charge. Highly recommended.
Fitted an extremely heavy radiator. Quality work. It looks amazing. Explained in detail what he was doing. Did more work than originally quoted for (without hesitation). Will definitely recommend and will be using him again in the future.
Friendly, and very helpful. I had a leak and had been calling around for about 2 hours and MDB plumbing were the only one to answer me. Cannot fault. Definitely recommend
Dave completed an excellent job on a small shower room I needed replacing. I would highly recommend him.
Truly excellent service. Job completed on same day we called. Friendly knowledgeable and competent. Would certainly recommend.
We had a water leak in our kitchen, i checked Trustatrader and found MDB services i called to say that i had leak in my kitchen and had to turn off the mains water to my house. David said don't worry and he was here in no time I was surprised to get such a quick response and he was very polite problem fixed. I would most definitely recommend him and his contact details are in my phone.
Came the same day I phoned up to fix my mixer taps in my bathroom on the bath, very polite, friendly, kind, very good,solved my problem instantly, great price I paid for the work , would definitely recommend to other people.
Full installation of bathroom and en-suite in a new mobile home. Fixed Vanity units to walls just with Mastic!! instead of using plasterboard fixings. Poor installation and 2 leaks, one of which has damaged an expensive double vanity unit in the bathroom because he forgot to the provided feet on it.
Dave replaced a shower unit in en-suite bathroom. Very reliable and helpful. Came out quickly to both view and complete the job. Very reassuring to have finally found a good plummer!! Thank you.
Dave "Really Knows His Stuff" is a very genuine guy and doesn't "Rip you off" like many plumbers seem to nowadays!.... I Highly Recommend him.

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.
