Taylor Plumbing completed a bath and shower screen replacement. The work was carried out with excellent workmanship. There was clear communication throughout regarding what needed doing and time frames for its completion. Pricing was very reasonable. I would highly recommend their services and will definitely look to use them for any future plumbing or gas needs.
Darrell was friendly, professional and highly communicative from start to finish, nothing was too much trouble and the work carried out was to an extremely high finish and standard, will use Darrell for future work and comes super highly recommended!
Highly recommend this lovely Plummer, Darel. He kept in touch with me at every stage. Always arrived on the time stated or rang me to let me know if he was delayed. From the very first contact, Darel was professional and polite. He was helpful in helping chose the parts I needed. He worked very clean and tidy and took away all the rubbish and disused items. His work is magnificent and I am so pleased to highly recommend him

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 registerAgree 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.
