Highlights

Clear communication, friendly, and explained it to me so I knew what was going on without being patronising. Would 100% use again

Matthew DCheckatrade5.0 rating

I had a gas leak in buried pipework. After being let down a couple of times, this was a case of third time lucky. Knew what the likely problem was right away. Opened up the wall in exactly the right spot, removed a small section of pipework with faulty solder joints, soldered in replacement fittings. One quick pressure test later, problem confirmed resolved. All done in the space of a couple of hours. Could easily have ended up a much longer job with multiple holes in wall - Sometimes experience is everything. Highly recommend RJ's Plumbing and Heating without hesitation.

Paul HCheckatrade5.0 rating

RJ's managed to get us booked in very quickly. They responded to my post on here within about 20 minutes and got us booked in. They called and requested to change the original day booked due to an emergency call out. They were accommodating for when we were free. Would use again.

Verified by CheckatradeShower repair and boiler service

Terry and his colleague were great. They replaced the shower, serviced the boiler and Terry went out of his way to fix various problems caused (by a different company!) when the boiler was installed. Fair prices, friendly guys, and they left everything clean and tidy too. Couldn't ask for a better experience, thank you!

Initial contact and first meeting good. One cancelled appointment but the other went okay a little late. Job done. Very happy with the results.

Verified by CheckatradeBathroom Pump

In 2022 Terry fitted a pump in our bathroom to correct a problem caused by another plumber. I noticed that the pump's usual noise had changed slightly and was worried that the pump might fail. Terry and his apprentice visited us promptly and, after careful consideration, assured us that the pump was OK. Terry is highly experienced and I can unreservedly recommend him; he has replaced our life-expired boiler in the past. Clearly, his visit today was unnecessary but he refused a call out fee.

Thanks for an efficient and prompt repair. Our bath tap was broken. When Terry arrived he immediately isolated the hot water ( which I couldn't find) and fixed the tap without needing to replace it. Thanks again, from a very satisfied customer

Very happy with Terrys work, I found him friendly and honest. He is knowledgeable and offered what I would consider to be good, sensible advice. I continued to use Terry for further plumbing installation in my house.

What to check before you hire

Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.
Verify at the sourceCheck them yourself

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 register
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.
