“Rang this company this morning as my boiler was dripping water over the weekend. Dan came within 2 hours as he was in my area doing another job . He fixed it straight away . So grateful as we couldn’t put on the central heating or have hot water over the weekend and I was concerned for my heart failure husband . Thank you so much Dan . Will never use another company again . From Eileen”

Brilliant Plumber! Arrived within 60 minutes of me calling (with an emergency). His work is great and extremely well priced.
I can’t thank Dan enough for his quick response to coming out to an emergency fixed the issue so quickly, very reliable and would 100 percent recommend to anyone.
Dan came the very next day, incredibly punctual in fact early . No messing about, assessed the problem and fixed that day . recommended we assess whether the problem resolved with the fix before doing any major expensive work . Told me to call him back straight away if any problems . Very fair price , nice bloke , knew what he was talking about .
Dan fitted 2 new rads for us and adjusted pipework accordingly. All work carried out was to a high standard and was very professional. Would use again and recommend to anyone in the future. :) Thanks again!
Very helpful and knowledgeable like all DIY jobs there were a few unexpected challenges but he found a practical way to resolve them definitely recommend
Very pleasant and very professional. Clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend.
Dan came and inspected a problem i had with a pool boiler, identified what the problem was and gave me an estimate of cost, we arranged a date that he could do the job and he did the job with no problems. Very happy with the work.
Work completed to our defective cistern in a professional and timely manner. Would reccomend for any plumbing needs!

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.
