Highlights
"Superb Job in very difficult weather conditions. These guys know their business. Highly recommend."
"Amazing service! So close to Christmas I was dreading the cost, already had 2 quotes and I wasn’t happy so I got an instant quote from lanes mains and I shocked! I thought they had got it wrong as it was such a better affordable price, great bunch of lads, hassle free and they even gave the place a good tidy up at the end 👍🏻 thank you so much Joe and the boys, you’ve made one lady very happy!"
"Turned up promptly, got straight into the job and made the repair to our underground water supply pipe quickly and without any fuss. Kept me updated... once they'd dug down to the leak, showed me it and once done, the repair too plus the offending piece of pipe removed. All done in less than two hours. Price as given over the phone."

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.
