Highlights
"Used Buildworks South Ltd for extensive refurbishment after ground floor flooding. Lee and his lads did an excellent job with great attention to detail, any problems encountered were easily dealt with without any drama .Highly recommended and would definitely use them again."
"We had a ground floor extension in our terraced house to maximise the size and needs for our family. Lee delivered exactly what we needed and was with us all the way through the build. Being extremely approachable and open, it was a smooth process to what can be somewhat stressful. We were never without water/heating and ensured everything was tidied away each day. Highly recommended"
"Removed existing artex ceilings, re-boarded and skimmed. Superb job carried out on time and cleaned up as job progressed."

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.
