Hard to detect water leak eventually pinpointed. The excavation, through concrete, repair and reinstatement was carried out in less than a morning. The team was friendly and respectful of my property. The company supplied a detailed report after completion. I should add that on two visits their attendance was very fast following my go ahead.
Responded to request promptly and booked a time. Arrived on time and explained the problem and gave a quote for the work. Sourced a new tap and fitted it expertly-very happy with the result.

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.
