## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Simon arrived at the time he had said was very helpful. He explained what he was doing as he went along. He sorted out the problem quickly and very professionaly."
> — Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "Simon answered an emergency call in a matter of hours as we had no hot water due to a faulty immersion. He quickly diagnosed the problem - the immersion stat needed re-setting. He showed us how to do this ourselves should the need arise and advised what to do if the problem was persistent. He was polite and friendly throughout and gave us confidence in his resolution of the problem. We will certainly call on him again for plumbing services and have no hesitation in recommending him."

## Before you hire a plumber
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade — general guidance, not a claim about this business:_
- Agree 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.
- For the water-regulations side of plumbing, a WaterSafe-approved plumber is vetted, qualified to the water regulations and insured — you can check yours or find one free at watersafe.org.uk.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
