The work was undertaken efficiently and tidily. I will definitely be using Portland Plumbing again and would recommend them to other people needing a plumber in St. Albans." > Source: Customer in Hertfordshire (5.0, via Which? Trusted Traders) > "I recently had my bathroom renovated by Portland Plumbing and couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. It’s completely transformed the space - I still can’t quite believe it’s the same room! Jack was such a pleasure to deal with and made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free. He really took the time to understand what I wanted and offered helpful suggestions along the way, which made a big difference to the end result. Communication was great throughout, so I always felt in the loop and it was such a relief knowing the project was in safe hands from start to finish. Jack’s team clearly take pride in their work - the finish is beautiful, and they treated my home with real care and respect. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Portland Plumbing to anyone thinking about a renovation and looking for a reliable, skilled, professional and friendly team." > Source: Customer in Hertfordshire (5.0, via Which? Trusted Traders) > "Jack came the day I contacted him about a leaking pipe. He replaced the (old) pipework with new and checked that there was no further leakage. Tidied up. Excellent, as always." > Source: Customer in Hertfordshire (5.0, via Which?

Trusted Traders, Companies House - Check dates vary by source. Where we hold a date, the check shows it. ## 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. ## Contact - Phone: 01727 572474 --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/portland-plumbing-ltd Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source and is cross-checked.
