His quality of workmanship is of a high order and his courteous approach underscores the care he takes to make sure everything is as good as it can be. Everyday and at the end of the job the access and work areas were left clean and tidy. Good communication with him throughout the job. We highly recommend his company without reservation."

> "Richard did a fabulous job on renovating our main bathroom, ensuite & downstairs cloakroom. Job involved, removing old furniture, redirecting new pipework, plastering, electrics & refitting with new furniture. He was punctual, polite & very tidy, ensuring covers were put down to keep dust & mess to a minimum. Quality of work was very good & I am really pleased with the outcome. It looks clean & modern. Richard even helped resolve a problem by swapping the door to open outwards allowing more space & coming out at short notice to fix an issue with the hot water pipes. Highly recommend Richard."

## 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.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
