Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 9 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“Jonathan did a great job rescuing our very old house from damp problems. He found solutions for effectively draining away surface water from around the house on the outside, and treated all the problematic walls inside so that the whole place smells warm and is totally dry again. Great to work with, did the work on budget and on time. Can thoroughly recommend all round!”
“What a brilliant service. Jonathan contacted me very quickly and arranged to view my rising damp. I agreed the price on the spot because a previous quotation from a big national company was three times as much. Cheaper isn't necessarily best but I was impressed with Jonathan's professional presentation and that he described doing the same that the previous quotation had offered. Really, it isn't rocket science. Jonathan did a fantastic job which looks perfect, as well as giving excellent advice and sourcing a new interior cupboard for me, which wasn't part of his job. Definitely recommend.”

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.
