Top service once again from Mark, who replaced a tap in our bathroom. He’s been our go-to plumber for several years, always professional, friendly, and delivering high-quality workmanship. Highly recommended.
Mark has always been prompt, reliable and efficient. With my latest issue - a bad leak under the sink, he not only fixed the immediate issue, but also identified a rusting pipe that was starting to split - saving me from a future problem. He is always very polite and helpful. He did a fantastic job a few years ago, re plumbing my new kitchen. His work is always very neat and tidy. He always explains clearly what the issue is too.
Mark, recently fitted a new sink and tap in our kitchen. He did a great job.. He was very professional, even when I made a mistake with the measuring and he had to return another day to finish it ! The work was done to a high standard and in a timely manner. Everything was left clean and tidy, with all the old materials, sink etc removed. We are very pleased with the outcome. i I would definitely recommend him to do a job.

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.
