Highlights
“Absolutely fantastic service from start to finish. He replaced my taps and pipework to a really high standard and also fixed a broken tap that had been causing issues for a while. Everything was done efficiently, neatly, and with great attention to detail. He was professional, friendly, and clearly very knowledgeable. The work was completed on time and everything works perfectly now. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled plumber.”
“Kam diagnosed the problem by liasing via my tenant and fixed the issue 3 days later. The job was fixed at a good price and we talked via phone. I definitely have kam on speed dial for the future, as found him really pleasant and reliable.”

Professional, friendly, very reliable and did a great job. Highly recommend!
Quick efficient and professional response. Job completed within 2 hours of call. Cam was very polite and courteous throughout. He cleared up most of mess, happy to wear footwear covers and gave good advice for avoiding similar accident in the future. Charge very reasonable. Would definitely recommend, first class srrvice.
I was really pleased with the work that Kam did for us. He was responsive to messages and was flexible with us. He took the time to explain the pros and cons of the fix vs replacement as well as how our type of toilet worked. He was such a lovely guy to chat to - our daughter loved him! I wouldn't hesitate to use his services again - I'm so pleased!

Excellent work, managed to squeeze us in as it was a small job. Arrived spot on time and gave extra advice so the job was completed better than our expectations. Really knowledgeable and happy to explain to nosey parkers like me!
Verified by Checkatrade
Kam responded to my online enquiry very promptly and arranged to view the job a few days later - he arrived on time, provided an estimate of cost and was able to complete the repairs the same day for a reasonable price. I would not hesitate to recommend Kam for his professional and caring attitude to his work.

Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.

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.
