“It was an absolute pleasure having Jack to do the work in my home! Jack is definitely reliable from start to finish and always friendly and professional. He also carried out damp proofing, which was done to a very high standard. The plastering work was perfect with an amazing, smooth finish! Couldn’t fault it at all. Quick and easy to contact, turned up when promised, and made the whole process stress-free. Highly recommended.”

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.
