Highlights
"I can’t recommend Mark highly enough. He came to look at a small plastering issue in my bathroom and honestly told me I didn’t need the job done, just a bit of paint. He could have charged me, but chose integrity instead, saving me a lot of money. I fixed it myself thanks to his advice. He’s a genuinely lovely guy, professional and honourable. Rare to meet someone so honest. I’d happily recommend him and will call him first for future work."
"Professional and very clean. Mark was on time and a solid worker. Extremely happy with the plastering, including coving. Great knowledge and tips provided. So happy we are getting him back to paint!"

Check the WaterSafe registerSmart checks
Before you hire a plumber
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.
Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
Check any verified credentials, and that the business details independently check out.
