I contacted Harry via Trust a Trader late evening on the 09.12.2025 as I had no hot water from my immersion tank/heater and only had cold water to my property. I was contacted the same evening offering to visit my property the next day to try and resolve the issue. Harry visited on the 10.12.2025 around midday, arrived on time, voluntarily removed their shoes at the threshold and placed down a protective mat on my wooden floor where he would be working which I greatly appreciated and quickly and efficiently resolved the issue, I now have hot water again to my property and I am extremely grateful for the professionalism of service I received and how quickly it was dealt with, in order to resolve my issue. Thank you

Harry has been my plumber for a number of years, would highly recommend him.
The job was completed very quickly. Happy with the service.
If anyone is looking for a plumber and/or heating engineer, I highly recommend Harry. The previous boiler and hot water cylinder in our home left much to be desired, and Harry kindly took the time to review all of the options until we finally settled on the system we now have installed. And it has made such a difference! The heating is now much more efficient, and it is terrific that you no longer have to worry about unintentional cold showers. From the initial point of contact to outlining the estimate, Harry answered all my questions promptly and thoroughly. He also discussed ways to set up the heating system to ensure it would run as efficiently and reliably as possible. The home was left clean at the end of each day, and you can tell by the attention to detail that Harry cares a lot about the high quality of his work. My husband and I will call Harry for all future work and will not hesitate to recommend him to family and friends.

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 registerAgree 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.
