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." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "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." > Source: Maureen E (5.0, via Checkatrade) ## Trades Plumber, Gas Engineer ## Services they list _Listed on public sources or the business's own website; check directly that they cover your job before you book:_ - Bathroom & Kitchen Plumbing - Blocked Baths - Blocked Sinks - Blocked Toilets - General Plumbing - Pipe Fitter - Plumbing Repairs - Power Flushing - Radiator Installation - Radiator Repair - Radiator Thermostat Valve Installation - Radiator Thermostat Valve Repair ## Areas covered _Towns and areas this trader lists serving.

Where we hold a date, the check shows it. ## Before you hire a plumber _What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_ - Agree 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. - For the water-regulations side of plumbing, a WaterSafe-approved plumber is vetted, qualified to the water regulations and insured. You can check yours or find one free at watersafe.org.uk. - Confirm they cover your area and can actually come out in your timeframe before anything else. ## Contact - Phone: 07474 626702 --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/vi-plumbing-heating Real public evidence only: every figure traces to its named source.
