Highlights

"Dan put in a bathroom and a downstairs cloakroom bathroom for us 6 years ago. Did all plumbing, radiators, tiling, flooring solo in good time and wax tidy!! Very important. Really impressed with work and all still intact with no problems. In fact he’s coming back next week to change some of furniture (cabinets, shower, shower screen, heated towel rails etc) as I’ve changed my mind and want something more current (ie brushed bronzes and different colours)."

Very happy with the bathroom upgrade - shower, all taps, radiator, certain tiles and sink/vanity unit replaced. Looks good like new. Tidy, punctual and good value. Nothing else to say. Looking for additional jobs now!

Dan fixed an issue with a waste pipe, removing the old one and the blockage and putting in a new one. It turned out to be a very unpleasant job and Dan did a great job of getting it sorted and cleaning up afterwards. Highly recommended.

Dan was so helpful - my toilet had started to leak and was coming away from the wall. I sent him pictures and he assured me it would stay up until he was able to look at it - which he did! When he came, he arrive on time and even let me clean the mould off the entire cistern. Very polite, very helpful, very clean and tidy. Will definitely be getting him back for more things that I need doing!

1st time I have used Dan, I found him to be very professional and he carried out the works required (repair to leaking toilet and replacing a kitchen and bathroom tap) on a date and time as planned. No hidden costs, high quality of work and explained clearly what needed doing and why. I would highly recommend.

Check the WaterSafe register
Smart 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.
