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.

Highlights
“Excellent service and very nice fair people.”
“These guys responded so fast when I had a blocked toilet and promptly came and solved the problem quickly, tidily and were so friendly. Unfortunately later in the day a different issue occurred which was a blockage in the drains, they once again came as soon as I called them and fixed the issue at no extra charge and were so lovely and polite. They really went beyond what I expected and their prices are very good. Would very highly recommend this very friendly and professional team!”

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.
