Highlights
"Gary boarded ceiling and plastered my kitchen/diner throughout, what a great job. Masked up windows and sills & floor. Tidied & cleaned up afterwards. Looks fantastic. I'm glad I chose him, really good value for money, and bang on quote. (I've been ripped off & conned by dishonest tradesmen in the past who underquote & then add on afterwards, thus the accurate/honest trades lose out to the conmen). Thanks Gary."
"Gary blocked up the old fireplace and plastered the wall ready for decorating."
"Very good experience all round. Gary called me to arrange to take a look at what was needed, quoted & completed the work all within 10 days."

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.
