“Ollie was fantastic. Immediately able to find the fault and repair”

AnonymousCheckatrade5.0 rating

“Quick to respond to inquiry and quote for the work. Arrived at agreed date and time completed work on schedule at the agreed price. Oliver 's work was methodical, clean and accurate. This all made for a good relationship, we thoroughly recommend this company and look forward to using in the future.”

AnonymousCheckatrade5.0 rating

“Booked OWB to replace 2 toilet syphons in my 8 year old property. Contact was prompt and gave me all the information I needed including an estimate. They arrived on time, all parts required in hand and even had over shoes ready to go. Work was carried out promptly and professionally even though the job ended up being more tricky than originally thought. I would highly recommend OWB to anyone needed plumbing and heating services and I will certainly be using them again.”

Worth checking yourself

Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.

Gas work is restricted by law to Gas Safe registered engineers. If they'll touch a boiler or any gas appliance, confirm they're currently on the register before you hire - it's free and takes a minute.

Check the Gas Safe Register
By law, anyone working on your gas appliances must be on the Gas Safe Register. Ask to see their Gas Safe ID card and check the licence number at gassaferegister.co.uk before they start.
Never let an unregistered person touch your gas: unsafe gas work risks carbon monoxide poisoning, fire and explosion, and is a criminal offence.
For a boiler or appliance install, get the work and price in writing and keep the Gas Safe / Building Regulations certificate they are required to give you.
