Highlights
"Mike carried out the installing a new insinketator heat tank for my kitchen boiling water tap. Mike turned up on time, communication prior had been professional and polite, wore his shoe covers and was friendly. Mike fitted the tank and tidied up after himself. Mike even offered to take the old tank with him. I was very satisfied with Mike’s work and would recommend Mike. Mike is an honest, trustworthy, hard working and knowledgeable professional."
"Called Mike again, this time for a broken toilet flush. The part's model was quite old, and he found a compatible alternative and came over to replace it the next day. Always appreciate his friendly and efficient service."
"I was thoroughly impressed with the service. The plumber arrived promptly, was professional and identified the source of the leak straight away. He fixed the issue quickly and left everything clean and tidy. Highly recommended!"

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.
