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 21 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

We needed some urgent remedial work completed on our Victorian property. These guys came highly recommended by my partners work colleague. I arranged for Dean to visit the property to see the issue and obtain a quotation for the work. Communication from Dean prior to his visit was great, he arrived on time and gave his honest opinion and explained the work required to resolve the issue. Dean was able to work within my timescale and the guys completed the job to a very high standard. It's not often I find traders so passionate about their industry, but these guys were. Highly recommended.

As a couple in our 80s we were treated with respect throughout this survey and the work carried out. It is refreshing these days to be able to communicate directly with all the employees in this family run business. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Our thanks to everyone concerned.

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.
