## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "I contacted PBM (Phil) after being quoted ridiculous prices from British Gas for a combi swap. Phil recommended getting a Baxi Duo-Tec as they're the best value boiler. He didn't look to sell me the most expensive one. He was very responsive and got me booked in as soon as he could. I thought the job would have been a bit fiddly but Phil got on with it and was done quicker than I expected. He was also about half the price of British Gas He was very conscientious about cleaning up any mess made and is an extremely friendly character He will definitely be back next year for the service"

> "My heating works on two separate zones (upstairs, downstairs) one of the zones was stuck to on so the heating downstairs wouldn’t turn off. Phil was out the same day, priced and ordered the parts, collected the part straight away and was installed within the hour. Couldn’t fault how quick and efficient he was and extremely well priced, have since used him for servicing the boiler and to install two radiators."

> "Phil was friendly, reliable and did a great job for me. He replaced a broken sink and changed and fixed a radiator in my little girls room. He was a bit busy at the time but managed to fit me in within two weeks."

## 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.
