Highlights
"Robert arrived promptly, was very professional and friendly, did a wonderful neat job of plastering behind the recently fixed sockets. Very well recommended."
Detailed reviews
The work was agreed to be completed by 30 November, but when I attended on 26 November none of the walls had been plastered. Communication was poor throughout and I had to repeatedly chase for updates, with excuses given about illness. On 6 December I found only Rob and two teenage boys with no plastering qualifications on site. He plastered over my loft hatch without permission, left a heater on overnight causing condensation, damp and cracking, failed to protect floors, left a window unlocked, and discarded drink cans in my garden. Very unprofessional and disappointing. I would not 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.
