“SST did an amazing job on my kitchen walls and ceiling in very short time, in preparation for upgrading the kitchen units. The old walls were patchy and uneven before we removed the old tiles and the Artexed ceiling was looking tired and cracked with a clumsy repair up where a pendant light fitting had been replaced with a tube light earlier. Now the walls are flat and true and the ceiling looks neat and tidy ready for redecorating. No more Artex, no more uneven joints and ceiling cracks, and no odd bit where a ceiling rose was replaced. They have completely transformed the room.”

Highlights
“I can’t recommend Nick and Mark highly enough. I had four different surveyors come to assess the rising damp and dry rot in my home, and from the moment I met them, their knowledge, honesty, and professionalism stood out. I instantly felt I could trust them, and that never changed. They explained the entire process clearly, kept me informed at every stage, and carried out the work within a great time frame. The quality of their work was outstanding, and their pricing was really reasonable too. They were reliable, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond. Thank you so much!”
“Mark came to our property to advise on a damp wall, and he was incredibly helpful, clear and generous with his time. His advice was clear and has proven to be bang on - he didn't try any hard sales techniques and felt honest and transparent Highly recommended, thank you Mark!”

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.
