I was a little nervous about contacting a new company for what was likely to be an expensive new boiler, but the reviews were reassuring. I was contacted very promptly, a site visit was arranged and an acceptable quote provided within a very short time-scale. I was messaged with updates as well as offered electric heaters to keep us warm while we were waiting. They worked a full day, making sure all was working and everything cleared away before they left. Would highly recommend!" > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "first time of using them.

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. - For the water-regulations side of plumbing, a WaterSafe-approved plumber is vetted, qualified to the water regulations and insured. You can check yours or find one free at watersafe.org.uk. - Confirm they cover your area and can actually come out in your timeframe before anything else. ## Contact - Phone: 07447 181524 --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/dove-stream-plumbing-and-heating-ltd-3 Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source, with evidence held from 3 named public sources.
