Highlights
"The work was carried out in several locations in our church building, and all to a very high standard. Richard was able to identify and solve each problem. He also managed to contact Southern Water to achieve a speedy resolution to a problem that was their responsibility."
"Richard is a 'plumbing detective '. He will systematically go through possible causes of a problem with great patience. He was able to flush out some grit in an incoming main water pipe after outside work by the water board. Thorough, patient and always polite, he has built up considerable experience."
"Richard is courteous, friendly and professional. He is extremely knowledgeable and always explains step by step what the jobs entail. He has carried out several plumbing repair/ installations for us over the last few years, most recently a replacement kitchen tap, fixing a plunge plug and repairing another tap. He always leaves a tidy working area. We would highly recommend Richard. 10 out of 10"

Gas work is restricted by law to Gas Safe registered engineers. If they'll touch a boiler or any gas appliance, confirm they're currently on the register before you hire - it's free and takes a minute.

Smart checks
Before you hire a gas engineer
By law, anyone working on your gas appliances must be on the Gas Safe Register — ask to see their Gas Safe ID card and check the licence number at gassaferegister.co.uk before they start.
Never let an unregistered person touch your gas: unsafe gas work risks carbon monoxide poisoning, fire and explosion, and is a criminal offence.
For a boiler or appliance install, get the work and price in writing and keep the Gas Safe / Building Regulations certificate they are required to give you.
Confirm they cover your area and can actually come out in your timeframe before anything else.
Read recent reviews for reliability and turning up on time — not only the quality of the work.
