Harrison and Gavin did a good job, would use them again
Used the app to register the job. Osborne plumbing replied within the hour. Visited later the same day and gave quote via text within 24 hours of visit. Date for the work was agreed and two staff arrived on time and the work was completed within four hours, Payment made via debit card. All mess was cleared up and the toilet now flushes without blocking. very happy with the service.
Verified by CheckatradeBanging pipes when running cold taps.
Gavin & his team first attended to assess the job and returned within a few days to complete. Problem found in front bedroom so carpets and floorboards up. Pipes found to be loose so we're muffled and firmly secured. New valve also fitted. Floorboards and carpets re-fitted... no more banging noise! Would thoroughly recommend Osborn Plumbing, top work 👍🏽

Osborne Plumbing provided a competitive quote, suggested appropriate products based on our requirements and completed the works to a high standard. They were on time, tidy and polite. I’ve since used them again to replace a fault shower thermostatic valve and had a similar experience.

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.
