As a vulnerable elderly person I was anxious to find a local, trusted plumber to fix the flushing mechanism in my toilet. The work was carried out by Callum and he was pleasant and thorough and left the area clean. I am delighted with the work carried out and with the messages I received and the prompt way that I was contacted. I would definitely use again and highly recommend.
Tom Irving excelled in carrying out a variety of plumbing issues in my home. The standard of workmanship was of the highest order, and the tradesman was friendly, courteous, and most professional. He finished each job to my complete satisfaction, and he left everything clean and tidy. I would definitely use Tom Irving again, and I have no hesitation in recommending his company to anyone looking for a top quality job at a reasonable price.
Various plumbing issues
We had problems with dripping taps and we wanted to change the shower experience from the existing fierce power shower. We thought the complete shower unit would need replacing but Tom Irving arrived and assured us that he could unscrew the existing shower head and simply replace it with a gentle rainwater shower, which worked out far cheaper than we had feared. The complete job was done very quickly with the minimum of disruption. Everything was tidied up on completion, and we couldn't have wished for a more cheerful, friendly plumber. Would definitely use again. Highly recommended.
Verified by CheckatradeToilet and Sink Removal.
We had an additional toilet and sink removed which was no longer required. The water pipes were disconnected and removed, the existing water pipes were made complete and reconnected accordingly. The waste pipes were removed and the holes in the external walls were fixed neatly with mortar. An outside water tap was also fitted to the kitchen pipework neatly. Overall, a thorough job completed well.

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.
