Highlights
"Contacted Matt after a clump of pebble dash came down above my rear bedroom window. Matt came round promptly to assess, explain why, give options, things to be wary of, time job would take etc. Extremely thorough and professional. Provided a competitive quote and when could do. Job done over 2 mornings this week. Very efficient and tidy. Would thoroughly recommend. Many thanks Matt."
"Matt plastered a ceiling. Very happy with the work, was very clean and punctual. Would highly recommend."
"So, what can I say apart from the fact I still admire the rendering almost 1 year later. Matt's attention to detail and professionalism is superb. The rendering looks amazing...the transformation from pebbledashing was and is fantastic. Great customer service skills, great knowledge, great price....we definitely recommend him!"

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.
