Highlights
"Great professional service, prompt, helpful communication, friendly and efficient."
"Ryan arrived on time. He had the new part for the toilet cistern so got straight on with the job. He cleaned up after he'd finished leaving everything spotless. He then took the time to explain what he'd done."
"I needed a new electric shower & I have a new kitchen sink that needed to be plumbed in correctly. I discussed what needed doing with Ryan. He went away & worked out a price for doing the various items. Once this was agreed he was able to book me in fairly quickly. He turned up at the agreed time on he agreed date, did the work exactly as agreed & then gave me the invoice, which was also as agreed. He then tidied up & left. Everything went very well, I now have a nice new shower that doesn't cut out. I also have a kitchen sink that doesn't leak and drains properly. Would recommended."

Gas work is restricted by law to Gas Safe registered engineers. If they'll touch a boiler or any gas appliance, confirm they're currently on the register before you hire - it's free and takes a minute.

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.
