Highlights
"Contacted Goldline via Checkatrade site. Had a quick response from Jacob who was able to provide a quote from photos that I sent him. Excellent communications, quick turnaround and good job done."
"The best call I have ever made. Messaged Jacob about our ceiling and sent photos of the damage, he gave me a quote, then set up a day and time. Danny arrived on time, prepared the kitchen and got start. He was always polite, friendly and helpful. The job was completed in just half the day. The ceiling looked perfect, I take my hat off to him and appreciate all he has done. We have no hesitation to use you again. Thank you,"
"It took a week but the communication was detailed, efficient. Job was done in two hours. Can't wait to paint over it!"

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.
