We had spent some time in a fruitless search for a professional contractor to lay about 10 metres of external drainage for us. Tom from Wessex Drainage Solutions Limited inspired confidence from the start. He spent some time with me going through the various options for the works and followed up with a fully documented quote which we accepted immediately. He and his colleague did the work over 2.5 days - were very careful and tidy, explained to me clearly each step of the works. The job was completed entirely to my satisfaction and the works do exactly what I had hoped for. Highly recommended.

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

We have had a really positivie experience with Wessex Drainage. They were quick to attend the site where we had serious drain problems, and even quicker to send us a report and fix a date to do the work and all within five days. That work is now completed and carried out to a very high standard. They were the most keenly priced of the quotes we had and I really appreciated their rapid response to phone calls and emails. Honestly can't fault them on any front.
Tom came out to quote for a collapsed drain pipe, he was very knowledgable and explained what needed to be done. We received a comprehensive quote and after accepting we were booked in within a few weeks. The works were carried out very profesionally.

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 17 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

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.
