“Needed a pair of water heaters fitted to our toilets. These boys came out at short notice, perfect job, left the site clean and took all the scrap. They also beat the cheapest quote I had. Cannot fault and would recommend to anyone”

The job was done in no time at all and I am very happy with the work done.
Always on time. Great service and fantastic work. No job too small.
Punctual, cleaned up after him, friendly and did a great job!
Royce is our first choice plumber. He is very friendly, professional and prompt when he visits. He always calls me back if I've had a problem. Royce services our boiler each year but recently installed a new shower and panel which we were very pleased with.
Royce rectified some very bad work done to a gas pipe in my living room, which left me with a gas leak. He squeezed my job in the very same week and did exactly what I was wanting done in the first place and made a fantastic job of it. He was friendly and professional throughout and left everything clean and tidy when he was finished. I would 100% recommend RL gas services, I am very pleased with the work carried out and the price was more than reasonable.
I’ve used RL Gas Services and couldn’t be happier with the service. Friendly, approachable and nothing is ever too much trouble. Always offers good, honest prices and gives helpful advice when needed. Very easy to contact and quick to respond. I’ve already recommended him to others and will definitely use again.
This is an amazing company! Responsive from the off, very timely and great quality work (at a very reasonable price)! The chap is exceptionally kind and helpful with a great sense of humour too. I was so impressed that I already have another job scheduled.
Great service. Friendly guy who 'went the extra mile ' Thanks 👍 😊
Fast efficient, affordable, Brilliant job. Nothing too much trouble for Royce. Gentleman from beginning to the end. Highly recommend 👌
Super job, well finished and no mess left. Would definitely recommend to others

Approved plumbers on the free WaterSafe register are vetted, qualified to the water regulations and insured. Check they're listed, or find a WaterSafe-approved plumber near you.
Check the WaterSafe registerAgree 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.
