“They did a fantastic job with the new heating system I really can’t fault them. The team turned up on time each morning and worked hard throughout the day, they were very professional and friendly and also cleaned up after themselves! We look forward to a cosy winter!”

Highlights
“Our new go-to plumber - arrived promptly, very courteous to deal with, did a great job. Had to come back as the first time it wasn't fixed - but they were back within a few hours after our phone call - and didn't charge us extra for their time. Would use again.”

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.
