Having just moved to the area we relied on checkatrade to recommend a plumber. Within a few hours Shaun Cole responded and with his recommendations we have now have a really good shower fitted over a bath. The work was completed with such care. Nothing was too much trouble to explain how he thought the shower would be fitted. Thank you and would certainly recommend Shaun Cole without any hesitation.

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.
