Highlights
"From enquiry to site visit was about a day and the face to face discussions were extremely informative, unbiassed and in some depth. Nick both informed and also listened and we received a reasonable quote. We mulled all this over and of course got two other very similar product quotes. Sterling was the best both in being reasonably pitched and for the advice given. The actual installation was quickly handled, fast and very efficient. We were kept informed very efficiently throughout the entire process. A very good friendly and efficient service was given. Definitely recommended."
"Great Service. I live in a hard water area and needed a new water softener to replace my old one. They came out quickly and recommended a good system to replace my old one that would be effective for the size of my house. The installation was quick, clean and very well done. The new system was setup in a nice and tidy location and topping up with salt is very easy to do. Would highly recommend Sterling Softeners if you live in a hard water and are looking to install a water softener"
"We highly recommend Sterling Softeners for those who are interested in installing water softener in their homes. Communication was outstanding. Radina was very quick to reply to our emails - always within 1 working day. Questions were always answered clearly. Immediately after installation we were sent warranty, invoice, and a schedule for a follow up visit. Everything was organised perfectly. Nick who came for our free home visit was clearly very knowledgeable in his field. He laid out all of our options, the pros and cons of all products, and all the prices. David who came to install ou"

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.
