Tommy turned up very quickly when I called. He was very helpful and professional and carried out the work promptly. I would definitely use his services again
Tommy gave excellent advice. He is straightforward, fair, works hard and did a good job, as ever. I wouldn’t let just anyone excavate a wall in my property! I have confidence in Tommy and trust both his workmanship and his character. Tommy is reliable, punctual and honest too.
Tommy was great, very fast to complete job. Very friendly person.

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.
