“Callum was friendly and showed good interest in taking on our slightly unusual job. He visited the site and gave me good confidence he could complete the works in a day, which was essential to fit in around opening hours. On the day, he completed the works as planned and dealt with the on-job complications that came up during the day. We are happy with what he has done and are relieved that CheckATrade helped us find someone to do this job for us.”

Official checkOn the public register
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.

Highlights
“I posted an emergency job on behalf of my elderly parents and received a response within an hour. The job was scheduled for later the same day, which was a huge relief. The service was outstanding from start to finish — the work was completed to a brilliant standard, and best of all, Callum completely understood my situation given that I couldn’t be there in person. He kept me informed every step of the way and treated my parents with kindness and respect, and made the whole process stress-free. I highly recommend Callum and Young Drains for his professionalism, skill, and empathy.”
“Small blip when first appointment (which was tight on time) did not work out. But a second one was arranged quickly and this went ahead. Happy that things were resolved quickly, happy with survey and report.”

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.
