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.

Best decision I made hiring Steve. Made contact with us straight away about the job. Came round and gave us a very competitive quote for the work. Turned up bang on time on the Monday with his brother also fully qualified!! Very high standard of workmanship, polite, clean, could not be more helpful. So happy that we have found a plummer/builder who knows what he's doing that we can use in the future as well. I do NOT give praise that easily but it's absolutely deserved with Steve.Thanks.

Plumbing- 10 Oct 2018
Chris, was great. He arrived at the time arranged, analysed the problem, explained how he can fix it, quoted a good price, we both agreed to the job, he did it, put everything back, reassured me with a guarantee to follow up on any problem that may occur afterwards. I was so impressed I have already asked him to do another job for me. He's on my list of 'go to problem solvers'.

Fireplaces & Flues- 31 Jul 2019
Thomas and team were excellent, I can highly recommend them. They are professional, kept to schedule, kept to the agreed price, offered suggestions and came up with solutions for different and difficult situations. They worked on an old Georgian house for me, with many unknowns, and multiple fireplaces and flues. Chimneys were swept and everything tidied up. A further redesign of a kitchen fireplace and installation of a cooker and surrounds was undertaken with fantastic results. Great to deal with and I look forward to working with them in the future.

Gas Work- 7 Oct 2018
I would not recommend. Sev and team did a good job, very quick, redid the gas central heating and installed the boiler in 3 days. My issue is with Sev’s customer service. He gave me price based on one specific boiler - when I challenged why this boiler instead of others and what makes one boiler better than another he dismissed me saying that the boiler he is installing will do for me and if I need another I can source it and he will knock £500 off the price - no advice, no guidance. Same thing when I asked for the flow rate and pressure because a prospective bathroom fitter wanted it to be able to advice on a suitable shower - he didn’t bother recording it and said that my bathroom fitter should stay focussed on the tiling he had to do! Post job job the kitchen fitter noticed that the pipe Sev had cut to set up for the sink was in bad condition causing a leak. The pipes were almost certainly in bad condition before Sev touched them however he would have saw that they were in bad condition yet he didn’t tell me. When I asked why he was rude saying they were my pipes, it’s not his responsibility to notify me if he sees that they are bad. The thing is he is right. However, one thing that I learnt from my renovation is that most builders will do a good job, few builders are capable of providing good pre and post job service which, in my view, is more important.

I noticed a rapid leak from the toilet tiles early on Saturday morning. This plumber managed to come right away (within 10 minutes), to check the leak. He found the problem and fixed it. I was impressed by how quickly and well he worked, especially since it was early on a Saturday. I would highly recommend him.

Plumbing- 25 Apr 2018
Barry was friendly and helpful. In addition to the job posted I asked him to retile my en-suite and do a couple of other small jobs as it was apparent from feedback form other clients that he did more than plumbing. All work was carried out in a tidy manner with little disruption to us. The work was of a high standard and I am very pleased with the results Indeed, I have asked him to quote for some other work that needs doing. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him to others.

Plumbing- 23 Feb 2021
I am absolutely delighted with the work Kenny did for me installing a dog wash station in my garage. He arrived when he said he would and was always available either on the phone or via text if I had any queries. I was struggling to find an appropriate dog bath but he managed to source one for me. He took a hot and cold water feed from my kitchen sink and drilled through to the garage. He suggested a t-bar thermostatic mixer (I think that’s what it’s called!) rather than putting in an electric shower which saved me money too. The waste needed to be high enough to drain away properly and also be able to cope with mud, grit and sand from both the dog and muddy boots. He framed the bath and installed wet wall rear and side panels. He is very transparent with costs and does not add a mark up on parts needed. All in all, I would not hesitate to recommend Kenny for any plumbing work needed. Great job, happy customer and one clean dog! Thank you Kenny.
