How can I check the quality of a plumber’s work?

To check the quality of a plumber's work, read customer reviews and ratings on platforms like MyBuilder for insights on reliability and professionalism. You can also ask the plumber for references or examples of previous projects.

How do I choose a reputable plumber?

Look for a plumber with solid experience and good communication skills. They should provide clear, upfront pricing, including any potential additional costs, before starting the job.

How do I know if my plumber is insured?

It's important to hire a plumber with insurance to protect yourself from accidents or damage to your property during the job. Ask the plumber for proof of insurance or check their website or profile. Many plumbers are covered by public liability insurance, which covers accidental damage or injury while working in your home.

Do plumbers near me charge call-out fees?

Many plumbers charge a call-out fee for coming to your property, which is usually applied to the total cost of the job if they carry out work. The fee can range from £50 to £100, depending on the plumber and the time of day. Be sure to ask about call-out charges when booking to avoid any surprises.

Do I need a plumber for all types of plumbing issues?

While plumbers handle a majority of tasks like drain cleaning, pipework, and boiler maintenance, more specialised tasks, such as electrical work or gas fitting, may require additional professionals. Always check if the plumber has the right expertise for your job.

Are warranties or guarantees common for plumbing work?

Yes, plumbers often provide guarantees for their work, ensuring repairs or installations meet quality standards. Always ask about warranties before hiring.

Plumbing- 17 Dec 2025
Had a full bathroom done first fix. They were very reasonable in price. But it was a shame they didn't follow instructions that was given to them having had to move all the pipe work and waste for the bath as it was put in the wrong place. Spoke to them over on a number of different times over the two weeks as they said they will come and sort it. But never did so not very reliable. So I have ended up doing the second fix myself as I could not rely on them.

Flloyd at Aspire was extremely professional, prompt and did an exceptional job for me. He initially came to carry out a balloon test and consequently ended up repairing/replacing my soil pipe. He was thorough and very tidy. Reliable and completed the work in the time frame and for the price he quoted. Iv asked him to quote for my bathroom suite replacement and I look forward to using him again.

Plastering- 16 Mar 2022
An excellent service from Jordan (Corwood Builders). Visited the house to assess the job, and promptly provided a very reasonable quote. Once he commenced the job, I asked him to do some additional work and he kindly committed to doing an extra day. The standard of the work was first class, and I would not hesitate to hire Jordan again.

What an excellent job Ryan and his dad did, they arrived promptly and instead of replacing the toilet the analysed the issues we have been having and instead of replacing the toilet as we had been recommended by some, they fixed it in 20 minutes, saving us the cost of replacing the whole system, they were both courteous and friendly. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the first instance. Garry

Greig was extremely professional and price quoted never changed. I feel he went beyond what was necessary to ensure the heating system was thoroughly clean. Would definitely recommend him to friends and family.

Plumbing- 26 Jul 2023
Although Darren fixed the leak in our ceiling - the problem that he identified ended up being just a crack in the sealant around the shower tray and he charged £100 for this, with an additional £80 call out charge! Oh and he cut a hole in our ceiling before trying to identify if the issue was the sealant in the shower tray. So then we had to pay an extra £200 for a plasterer to fix the hole in our ceiling. The plasterer was a family member of Darren! So all in all it cost us £380 for a gap in the sealant around a shower tray for what could’ve have been £5 bottle of sealant we could’ve used ourselves! What we’re disappointed about is the £100 he charged to add the sealant around the shower tray! Absolutely extortionate.

Andrew was thorough, efficient and courteous. He turned up as arranged (not always a given in my experience) to quote, start, and then complete the job after decorating had been done. He was keen to do a professional job and he did just that. It was not a straightforward replacement of radiators but Andrew did a great job in the end. I am very pleased with the quality of work and won’t hesitate to hire again or to recommend.
