## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Martin was a very punctual, polite and extremely professional, he put my mind at ease from the start, explaining thoroughly what the issue was, and ran through the process of what was needed. Collected the parts the same day and returned to rectify the problem. I was so pleased how Martin conducted himself, I have a few more issues that I have discussed with Martin, and will be getting Him back to complete the additional works. A very tidy, presentable, polite, professional tradesman who I will be recommending to all my friends and family. Thanks to the Plumb Monkey! You are a star!!!"

## Before you hire a plumber
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- 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.
- For the water-regulations side of plumbing, a WaterSafe-approved plumber is vetted, qualified to the water regulations and insured. You can check yours or find one free at watersafe.org.uk.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
