Highlights
"This was not a straightforward job, but the problem was solved well."
"was on time and communication was amazing. came to do a quote for a new bath and ended up just needing new taps, fitted them there and then for me"
"Darren was very professional & polite. He fitted my tap as directed. Unfortunately there was a slight leak from the new tap- not his fault. He could have not told me about it. But instead he showed me where the leak was from on the taps construction & advised me to monitor it, fingers crossed it’ll be ok! That’s an Amazon purchase for you!!"

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.
