Highlights
"Neil did a brilliant job plastering a bare brick wall in our living room. He was a really tidy worker and the end result was perfect. Highly recommend!"
"Neil did a very professional, impressive job skimming our bathroom. The price was very fair. He was very professional and polite, came when he said he was going to, put ground sheets down and cleaned up and hoovered very well after himself. We are very pleased with the results, and would highly recommend him. He was very pleasant, and gave us good advice on how long to leave the plaster to dry, and decorating."
"Neil was fantastic, he communicated well and did exactly what he promised, very punctual, great work ethic and the quality of work is fantastic, we could not have asked for more and he even repaired damage to fireplace and gave aftercare advice"

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.
