Highlights
"Ritchie was quick at answering and managed to squeeze us in very fast. Quick, clean and a great job"
"I phoned this company after someone on Facebook recommended them. Barrie was extremely helpful and came out the next day to provide a quote and answer all my questions. We needed three walls and an artexed ceiling replastering with some tricky ‘work around’ jobs included. His quote was reasonable and he was able to fit me in five days later. Barrie arrived with his colleague on time and did a thoroughly professional job for us. He did exactly as we asked in good time and his workmanship was excellent. I thoroughly recommend this company and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again."
"Ritchie was very communicative throughout, managed to fit our job in quickly and completed the work to a high standard, would recommend"

Approved plumbers on the free WaterSafe register are vetted, qualified to the water regulations and insured. Check they're listed, or find a WaterSafe-approved plumber near 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.
