Highlights
"The fan on the old extractor cooker hood had failed (been there since 2010 so we'd had our moneysworth). New one fitted but serious adjustments needed due to "metrication" but contractor did a great job and new one up and running , superb job."
"Called Ian as had used him before for a different matter and was very comfortable with hiring him again. He turned up promptly within a few hours of calling, and replaced the faulty valve. Unfortunately the toilet system is completely boxed in, he had to remove some panels and then pull the entire system out, but everything was put back and resealed; really tidy and clean and it doesn't look as though any work has been done. Price was reasonable too, would highly recommend this company."

Highly recommend, quick response and completed the job to a very high standard. It’s difficult choosing a good plumber nowadays but Ian was just fantastic. Quick turnaround, very reasonable pricing and high quality professional job. 100% will use again and would recommend to anyone.
