Had a leak behind the toilet, the work was originally arranged for Tuesday at 15.00 which was arranged on the Sunday afternoon. Come Sunday evening I believed the leak was worsening and asked if we could bring forward the appointment. The very next morning at 09.30 the work was completed. A very friendly, helpful service at a reasonable price. I will be using this company again for any plumbing needs in the future. Highly recommend.

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

We have used Lewis a couple of times before for small jobs, but this time it was to transform our downstairs cloakroom from “grot” to “glam”! He took care of all of the plumbing and installation of the new suite and consulted with us throughout when decision s needed to be made. He also recommended a fabulous tiler he works with (David) who was also well priced and skilled. The job was completed to our entire satisfaction and both tradesmen were polite, tidy workers and kept to their quoted price. 100% recommended.
Luke was very prompt in responding to my post about the job and said straightaway what he would be installing. It was easy to agree a date and time- he then even went as far as saying he would be slightly delayed because of adverse weather conditions. When he arrived, he carried out the work quickly and efficiently and was very friendly. He gave me a full explanation of what had been done and cleared away any rubbish.

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.
