Highlights
"Jake ran new pipes to connect up our new radiators. We had exposed plumbing and wanted copper with brass fittings. He did an excellent job. All the pipes were run neatly, including those under the floor boards upstairs. He was tidy, polite and very knowledgeable. We would definitely call on his services again."
"Jake was excellent and was able to locate and repair the leak with minimal disruption."
"I asked Jake to replace an existing three-way (cold, hot and boiling) water tap, tank and filter with a new model. The new tap had been supplied as an updated model and should have been a simple swap. The reality was very different. The supplied hose which goes from the tap to the filter was way too short meaning that Jake had to invent a way of extending the hose. Then we found that the new filter had a leak, so Jake had to refit the old filter as a workaround. Jake also fitted a stop-valve on the hot supply to the tap where there wasn't one before. A perfect job with no fuss or bother."

Smart checks
Before you hire a gas engineer
By law, anyone working on your gas appliances must be on the Gas Safe Register — ask to see their Gas Safe ID card and check the licence number at gassaferegister.co.uk before they start.
Never let an unregistered person touch your gas: unsafe gas work risks carbon monoxide poisoning, fire and explosion, and is a criminal offence.
For a boiler or appliance install, get the work and price in writing and keep the Gas Safe / Building Regulations certificate they are required to give you.
Confirm they cover your area and can actually come out in your timeframe before anything else.
Read recent reviews for reliability and turning up on time — not only the quality of the work.
