Detailed reviews
IK Heating is amazing. My go to company now. Organisation: Very polite organisation of the visit with great status updates. Work: The disconnection took less than 1 hour. Drained the water out of the system, removed the radiator and piping - as was necessary for this job - refilled the system. Add-Ons: They checked the entire system as well and serviced the system whilst there. Makes all the difference now. Will 100% call again.
Indi and his colleague were so kind and helpful. They replaced two toilets in unde 2.5 hours and were clean and courteous. Would definitely recommend!
Amazing job! IK heating came to do a power flush of the central heating system. My heating works so much better now and has made a real difference. Indi was great help, honest and reliable. Explained the process and made the whole experience easier and convenient. Have recommended to my mates too

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.
