Highlights
"Andy was on time and very helpful in suggesting the best option to resolve the problem. A date to do the work was agreed and Andy again turned up on time and quickly completed the job with minimum fuss and mess. I’d be happy to recommend him to others."
"Efficient, reliable service. Quick to respond to the job request and to provide a quote. No fuss, no hidden costs. Good communication at all times."
"This is the second time we've had Andy do work for us. He does a great job and would highly recommend."

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.
