Excellent work - quick and efficient, Giles is experienced and knows his stuff. Fixed the leak and soon got the problematic central heating up and running.
Giles responded quickly to my requirements and communication was good throughout. All works completed on the day and within a week of calling him. Giles had to deal with difficult access issues regarding the bath, but completed all works well. Many thanks

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.
