Highlights
"Friendly, polite, decent job at a fair price. Rendering is a messy job & I was expecting to have to clean up after the job was finished, but no, the site was left nice & clean and they even cleaned up on my neighbour's property where some of the mess had fallen. Would definitely use again."
"Reliable, great communication, professional and the finish was astonishing. Adam was knowledgeable and himself and his colleague were efficient and hardworking. The ceiling and walls needed repairing before skimming but it wasn't a challenge for them and they completed the work to a high standard. Would highly recommend. Thank you"
"Very clean and friendly team. Very happy with the results. 2 new ceilings, a porch and cracks in walls all repaired. Would not hesitate to use this company again."

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.
