Detailed reviews
Charlie and his colleague were great. Our boiler failed on a Saturday ,he came round the same day to give a quote which was very fair and fitted a new combi boiler the following week. They were very efficient ,cheerful and skilled. I could find no fault whatever with anything. New brickwork was required outside because the flu needed a different position. Brilliant job done there. A plasterer came to finish off the inside wall and also did a great job. The old airing cupboard tank and those on the attic were taken away and a small radiator put in the airing cupboard for drying. Free of charge. I cannot recommend this company highly enough.
Very good , polite very clean , knowledgeable
Selwyn plumbing & heating, we're very professional and efficient, their work is carried out to an impeccable standard Highly recommended
After having a so called “specialist “ come & not being able to fix our UFH. I contacted Charlie who gave me a date when they would visit. They fore filled their appointment. Keeping me in the loop on ETA. Within an hour the problem was identified (wiring)& put right No call out charges were incurred & invoiced only on the time they were here. A real “TrustATrader “ Thank you.
First time dealing with Charlie. Recommended to me. Small job fixing a leak in a downstairs toilet. From first WhatsApp message to completing the work was all within 24 hours. Invoice received promptly post work done. Would recommend.

I called Charlie to cap off a gas cooker and he was very polite and helpful. Came round to have a look within half hour of calling and then capped it off for me. Very professional and would definitely be using again for any future plumbing work and would be my first recommendation if anyone needs a reliable and honest plumber.
Selwyn Plumbing and Heating completely renovated three bathrooms for us, in edition to installing a new combi boiler. They took everything on with project managing; from designing, sourcing materials and disposing of waste etc. I could not be happier with the finish and they were fantastic during the whole project. The 1 year warranty is reassuring too, when so much money is spent. But their work was worth every penny. I could not recommend them enough. And the fact they undertook everything, gave me one less thing to worry about during a whole house refurb. They were all very likeable, friendly and accommodating. I'll certainly be using Charlie and his team in the future.
The company is very professional from start to finishing. They were introduced to us by another trader. Friendly, relatable, good mannered, responsible, meticulous, high standard to trade specific, upfront with no hidden cost, willing to pass on trade discount to their customer. The plumbing work is precise, the tiling work is spectacular, premium quality fittings and fixtures chosen by us for their installation. Finishing touches were immediate after snagging session. We would use them again, and confidently recommend them to anyone who wishes to have their house refurbished to an extremely deluxe standard with reasonable pricing. Our friends and family commented that the end product is breathtaking! Great job to Charlie and his team from Selwyn!
Professional team, clean workers and always on time.
Selwyn Plumbing & Heating are very reliable, hard working and innovative. Excellent customer service. The team provided us with an amazing bathroom which far exceeds our expectations. Highly recommend.
Charlie and his team at Selwyn Plumbing & Heating are very professional and undertake work to a high standard. They go the extra mile to ensure features look and work exactly as intended. I had a complete re-do of my bathroom and was given good advice throughout, deadlines were set out and achieved, and the final outcome looked even better than I envisioned. Three years down the line and the workmanship still holds up well fantastically. Charlie is a skilled plumber and gas engineer and really does know his stuff. His communication is great and I kept up to speed as each step of the bathroom was progressed. Great company, would recommend totally.

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.
