Highlights
"Richard responded to my job request quickly and took the time to explain in detail what needed doing. He is extremely knowledgable and has an excellent work ethic. I would highly recommend to others."
"I needed work done urgently and I was in a pickle. SimPlumb phoned me straight away, as soon as I posted the job. He was at my home address within 30 minutes and sorted the problem brilliantly. Thank you so much. And I highly recommend"
"Leak was identified under the bath during first visit, leaky waste/trap fixed at a pre-agreed date, turned up on time, was polite. Also resealed the bath as the old seal was inadequate. Would definitely recommend, and will use for future jobs if needed."

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.
