Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Highlights
Detailed reviews
These are the individual reviews we hold for Plumbx, including the highlights above. The 22 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
Communication was poor This guy seems to thrive on desperate customers Was very unclear and pushy to get the job Travelled a long way and wasn’t at my property long Didn’t fix the issue and then tried denying it was his fault Finally conceded blame but wouldn’t come back to resolve Instead offered me a refund of £88 Still waiting for it.
This guy should be avoided at all costs. Came quickly but there the positives end. Quoted £300 to fit 3 taps, sink waste, toilet valve, syphon & 3 port valve. Materials extra. Less than 2 hrs later wanted paying all but only done ball valve & 2 taps promising to come back next day with rest of equipment and fit. Online banking messed up, so gave him cash. Of course never came back cos he wanted another £400+vat for the 3 port valve fitted. Worst of all we were left with 4 leaks, no hot water in kitchen & 2 broke clips. Disaster, do not use.

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 RegisterBy 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.
