Highlights
"Communicated well and work was great"
"David was recommended to me and I couldn’t be happier with his work. I had a small bedroom that needed plastering but I was also pondering how to make the layout of awkward alcoves work - I didn’t want to lose the storage potential these offered, but wanted a cleaner look and to have the bed in the centre of the room. I created an ambitious sketch of what I thought might work expecting to be laughed away, but David took it and gave results better than I could have ever expected. His attention to detail and craftsmanship was incredible and he was always happy to accommodate additional requests"
"Dave boarded and plastered three bedrooms for us and I was really pleased with the finish. He also hung some internal doors including a bi fold. Can pretty much turn his hand to anything and to a very high standard. He’s efficient, clean and very professional so would highly recommend him to others. (already have as he’s since done some work at my mums and brother-in-laws!)"

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.
