Replace Hot Water Cylinder

After receiving a call from my tenant, reporting the failure of the hot water cylinder, I called Express Plumbing to request a visit. Ernie came the next day and gave me the bad news - the (admittedly rather old) system had given up the ghost. He's a very knowledgable guy and took care to explain the options, likely costs and timescale for replacement. The work was done a few days later. Quality workmanship, good advice and the flat was left spotless afterwards - I would not hesitate to call Ernie again for any future plumbing work.

Burst water pipe

Rang at 13:00. Sorted by 14:40. I am stuck at work but Express Plumbing answered my call to fix a burst pipe when no one else did. The job was promptly done and sorted out a bad leak which was distressing as my wife had enough to deal with as our baby was poorly. We would highly recommend this Checkatrade member.

Faulty Toilet - Fitted a valve

We had the horrible misfortune of having our toilet overflow. Its an old porcelain toilet. Ernie came round had a look, gave us some options and explained the positives and negatives at the same time. He also took a look at other aspects of our plumbing/heating and gave us suggestions about how best to move forward and update our systems without pressurising us to take his suggestions. He's given us the option to come and see is workmanship at other jobs in order for us to make up our mind. In the meantime fitted a valve that allowed us to isolate the water to the toilet cistern until such time as we are able to decide how we want to move forward.

Attached taps and plumbed in sink, plumbed in washing machine and connected Gas Hob

The ignition for the hob could not be connected as a socket needed to be added, this is work for an electrician. However, connecting the gas hob, safety checking, and plumbing the sink and again checking over the work, as well as plumbing in the washing machine was all carried out to a satisfactory level. Ernie is pleasant, knowledgeable and very helpful conscientious.

Investigating shower leak and a cold radiator

I rang a number of people on the checkatrade card and website and quite a few didn't come back to me:( Luckily Ernie did and he was very friendly and polite. He explained everything clearly so that I could understand what he was doing and why (I know nothing about plumbing) and what the next steps would be. He worked quickly and efficiently. I called him in the morning and he managed to come round and look at the problem that very afternoon. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and am hoping he can come and service the boiler next!

Fitted new thermostat for emersion heater

Ernie originally arranged to arrive early morning but phoned a couple of days before to ask if it would be possible to rearrange the time, which I agreed. He arrived promptly, was polite, completed the work swiftly and then explained exactly what he had done. I described another issue that my husband had identified, which we were not sure was connected to the boiler system or not, and Ernie checked this and gave me options for actions to take, without in any way pressurising me to have him do more work. I would recommend Express Plumbing to anyone requiring any boiler or plumbing work done.
