“This guy is the best! I'm so happy that I've found Vaughn. He's a tradesman that has more care, cleanliness, attention to detail and determination to get the job done quickly than you can believe. This man doesn't take a break until the job is done! He was so careful to keep things clean and tidy during the work that you knew you could just trust him to get the job done. He absolutely has the best work ethic I've experienced. He charged me exactly what he quoted me, no hidden extras and kept going till the job was done to make sure I was absolutely happy with the finished job. 10 out of 10!!”

Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 15 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“The engineer was able to come on time like promised and fixed our boiler. Thank you!”
“Vaughn did a great job of fixing a leak under my sink. The original fittings were clearly a dodgy diy job by the previous owners so he fit some new pipes under the sink and replaced the washing machine pipe (!) that was leading out to the outside tap. He also then helped me remove a metal plug from my bathroom. Good work, reasonable price, nice guy. I’d use again!”

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.

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.
