Highlights
"First Rate Plumbing did an excellent job replacing the float ball valve in my loft. The work was carried out professionally, efficiently, and with great care. I'm very pleased with the service and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable plumbing work. Very friendly and good rates."
"Excellent communication and service. Explained things really clearly to diagnose why we had a leak and how to resolve. When the problem was bigger than we had originally thought they came back within 24 hours with what was needed and sorted everything. We would both recommend and use again."
"Delighted with new Shower and pump installation to bathroom and en-suite. Good communication and job well done."

Smart checks
Before you hire a gas engineer
By law, anyone working on your gas appliances must be on the Gas Safe Register — ask to see their Gas Safe ID card and check the licence number at gassaferegister.co.uk before they start.
Never let an unregistered person touch your gas: unsafe gas work risks carbon monoxide poisoning, fire and explosion, and is a criminal offence.
For a boiler or appliance install, get the work and price in writing and keep the Gas Safe / Building Regulations certificate they are required to give you.
Confirm they cover your area and can actually come out in your timeframe before anything else.
Read recent reviews for reliability and turning up on time — not only the quality of the work.
