Highlights
"Michael has done numerous jobs in my house and is always, helpful, professional and does a fantastic job. Today he fitted a new kitchen tap, which is perfect for my arthritic fingers. He brought a couple of taps for me to choose from and then fitted my chosen one. He leaves the area clean and tidy, like new. I would highly recommended him."
"Reliable friendly local plumber. Fitted new boiler, bathroom and new kitchen sink. Completes annual checks. Really nice guy to have in your home. Would definitely recommend."
"We sustained a burst pipe outside our house late last night. I turned off the water supply and contacted Michael this morning. He came within the hour and fixed the problem. Michael also gave me advice about how to deal with it if it happens again. Michael has been our Plumber for many years now. He is knowledgeable, a good worker and very reliable."

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 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.
