The motorised valve controlling the hot water on my central heating failed. TJ Plumbing, who I have been using for 4 years, came out and replaced the unit. Not only did they carry out the job quickly and efficiently, they had the courtesy to tell me the day before what time their plumber would arrive, and then on the day of the visit, they called me to give an ETA. Great company with great people. I highly recommend them.

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.
