Highlights

"I can not speak any more highly for Ian and his work. An onsite survey was completed shortly after requesting a quote. Communication prior to, during and post work was fabulous. Our completed work looks amazing! Admittedly we had to wait for him to be available, however I would rather wait for the right person than have someone available to start tomorrow! Trust me, he was worth the wait! I STRONGLY RECOMMEND!"

Martyn SCheckatrade5.0 rating

"Ian has been excellent through out from quote to finish. He has explained what he was going to do, how much it would cost and completed the job to the highest standards. He left the house clean and tidy."

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.
