I would thoroughly recommend Dan the Plumber. From the initial conversation to the completion of the job he was outstanding. He carried out work to a bathroom and was always polite, considerate and hard working. His quotation was very reasonable and he went above and beyond to complete the job within the timescale. I would definitely use Dan again.

Responded almost immediately to the ad being posted and was thorough in explaining work and costs from photos sent. Booked a date for works and attended on time and fitted as per original quote.

Dan was excellent from start to finish. Meeting deadlines and problem solving. From gutting the whole bathroom, sorting waste removal to organising refit, sparkys, plastering, flooring and refit of new. Even took the lead in choosing design! Facilitated our choice of upgrades on sinks, bath etc. as to our choosing. No surprise costs. Thrilled with our bathroom- come to think of it... maybe we should have told him that more! We look forward to seeing him again 😊

Dan carried out the installation of a new toilet, as well as fitting the pipes and installing a sink in the WC. Dan was really professional and knowledgeable and kept me informed the whole way through. The work was completed to a high standard, and done when he said he'd do it and without any mess - really pleased I was recommended him. He's also a very friendly guy, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone or have him back to do more plumbing work. Thanks!

Before you hire a gas engineer

By law, anyone working on your gas appliances must be on the Gas Safe Register — ask to see their Gas Safe ID card and check the licence number at gassaferegister.co.uk before they start.
Never let an unregistered person touch your gas: unsafe gas work risks carbon monoxide poisoning, fire and explosion, and is a criminal offence.
For a boiler or appliance install, get the work and price in writing and keep the Gas Safe / Building Regulations certificate they are required to give you.
Confirm they cover your area and can actually come out in your timeframe before anything else.
Read recent reviews for reliability and turning up on time — not only the quality of the work.
