Needed two stop cocks fitted. All quoted surveyed and installed in record time by polite and helpful team. Can't fault the service given by Matt and the team at Talboys.

Detailed reviews
We had a particularly difficult job to reconnect the water supply to my daughter’s flat but Talboys were brilliant in every aspect of the works and I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone.
I was impressed by the high level of professionalism shown by both the engineers carrying out the work and the handling of the case by the customer service. We had a leak in the water mains: other contractors, when contacted, immediately quoted us for an expensive leak detection procedure; Talboys, on the other hand, took the time to inspect the property and assess the issue before issuing a quote (which did not need any leak detection). During the work, we were particularly impressed by how clean the work area was left; considering the engineers had to move through our front door and corridor throughout the job. We really appreciate the care they took to protect our home.
From the initial phone call to the TUSO office to the final clearing up, all TUSO employees were polite, hard-working, tidy and efficient. What I feared would be a troublesome job they made seem relatively easy. Where other companies wanted to dig up our drive and take at least two days, TUSO used a "mole" , giving a minimum of mess and completing the job in under four hours. It is difficult to see where the work has been carried out and they were roughly half the price of other quotes. I emphasize that I have no connection, professional or otherwise with TUSO apart from being a very satisfied customer.

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.
