Highlights
"When the ceiling of the bay window in the bedroom at my Mother's home collapsed due to some water damage, we were left in a stressful and unexpected mess. P A Robinson stepped in and went above and beyond to help. Within the same weekend, the fallen plaster was cleared, repairs were handled and the ceiling re-plastered - all with real care taken and a good price. I was impressed by their professionalism - working neatly, good comms throughout and left my Mother's room clean (no trace of the original chaos!). We are grateful for their skills, kindness and efficiency when we needed it most."

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.
