Best price I could find about but oh my, didn’t lack in quality, had rendering done with breeze block insulation too and Ismir didn’t stop! This guys a machine! And the quality of the job was top tier. I’d recommend to anyone to go with him he’s did an unbelievable job. 10/10 on every category.
Overall the work was ok, a few positives, but a few negatives. Arrived 40 mins late (called to say he would be 20 mins late). Didn't have floor covering/protection so had to go to B&Q when he arrived. Overall the walls are smooth and glassy, but there are a few scratches/imperfections. He also didnt loosen/remove any light switches or plug sockets, so plaster is on these and will likely crack when we take them off to paint the walls. He also left a huge gap where the cable for the WiFi goes up to the box - i could have removed this if he had told me during the job.

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.
