"I couldn't fault Alex. His communication was spot on and his work and professionalism was great.We had to juggle some dates due to work commitments but Alex was really accommodating. Would highly recommend and will certainly be using him again in the future."
"Contact them for a quote and Alex got back to us straight away, was great help with recommending a suitable tap and even picked it up for us. Not expecting such a swift booking for the job , but from initial contact it was a matter of days. Alex was on time and the commutation was great. He fitted the tap and also rectified a issue with the drainage that he noticed. Really excellent service would highly recommend them again. Definitely are go to Plumber if needed"

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.
