Highlights
"Mark did an excellent job removing coving and skimming our walls and ceiling. Good communication, on timee, competitive price."
"Mark knocked a partition wall down for our terrace house, he then plastered and moved the electric sockets. As well as a plastering, he also replaced a joist and several floor boards due to them being rotten. The work was done to a very high standard and I would strongly recommend MJL plastering & building services."
"Mark was able to replace our soffit and fascia in wood rather than just covering with uPVC like we were being offered with others. It has made such a difference to the look of the house. Would definitely recommend"

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.
