Tom Building Ltd responded swiftly to my problem, a leaking lead water supply pipe. The necessary repair work was explained and a fair quote given. The work, a substantial job, moling underground from the road to the house, was carried out with minimum disruption and to a very high standard. Tom and his brother were courteous, prompt and respectful of my property and completed the job within the time stated. The work carried out remedied the leak and has greatly improved the water pressure throughout the house. I have no hesitation in recommending Tom Building Ltd for similar work.

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

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.
