Highlights
"I recently had a booster pump installed on my hot water tank by Jamie, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. From start to finish, Jamie was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. He made sure everything was installed neatly and working perfectly. The difference in hot water pressure is fantastic, and the whole job was completed efficiently with great attention to detail."
"Needed a replacement bath mixer tap. Turned up promptly, identified problem, showed me the cause of problem, replaced pipework and tap, left area clean and tidy. Friendly and happy to give advice. No job too small."
"Great communication from James about the work that could be done and the price. Arrived very promptly. James was very polite and efficient. Would certainly get work down by James again."

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.
