## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Great service and honest guy. Work carried out professionally, respectfully, cleanly and tidy. Work was quickly and effectively. Clearly a hard worker thanks phil"
> Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "Phil responded promptly (I rang in the early evening and he was with us around 9 next morning), which was a relief as we were worried that the problem could have become much worse. Phil was very helpful and efficient in identifying the cause of the leak and making repairs, very clear in explaining everything and also very considerate when it came to trying to minimise costs. All in all, he couldn't have been better. We were fortunate that he was available to give us his prompt attention, and wouldn't hesitate to call him again."

> "Great job. Very friendly service. Able to complete a particular tough old sink. Highly recommended."

## 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.
