Plumbing and heating services.
Mark was very flexible around when he could carry out the work as it involved working around tilers and decorators.  The work was completed to a high standard. Mark was also helpful in providing advice and helping to choose the best bath/shower combination.  I would be happy to recommend this company.

New siphon fitted in toilet

Gave quote over phone and told me roughly how long it would take. Turned up on time and said he may not have to replace the whole siphon, just the diaphragm and that it would be cheaper. I decided to go for the whole new siphon. It cost exactly as much as quoted and took exactly as long as he said and it was a very clean job. In summary a great, honest, polite and tidy plumber. Very much reccomended

Obtain, change and fit wall mounted kitchen taps

Mark purchased taps which I had been unable to obtain in the usual DIY/plumbing stores, due to them being old wall mounted kitchen taps. He fitted them too. All very reasonably priced, quick and everything is working extremely well. Very happy with work. We have used Mark previously and would definitely use him again.

Replace broken toilet

Punctual, courteous and work completed to a high standard. Even when I needed to call Mark back to fix a minor problem with the cistern under-filling and a very slight leak on the water cut-off valve, he had no hesitation in returning to immediately rectify and remedy the situation. No complaints and no additional charge. Would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Replacement of an electric shower system for an elderly customer with severe sight problems.

Mark was asked to find a suitable shower unit which would be much easier to use than the original installation; he was given a free hand to choose once the problems had been explained. The new shower was a great success, as the controls were simple to set 'by feel'. In addition, Mark left them set so that the user could simply get under the shower with almost no adjustment. The site work was undertaken efficiently, as the shower was back in action only a couple of hours after the old one had been removed. And the costs were considerably less than we had expected!

Bathroom refurbishment

The work included replacing a shower, bath and sink (including some re-arrangement of pipes in the floor). It was carried out to a good standard as previously discussed and agreed, in a timely fashion. However, due to issues with the van we had to wait for a couple of weeks to get started.

Fixed leaky tap and sealed tub/shower area

We had water coming through our kitchen cabinets from our shower one floor above. We thought the repairs would be costly, but Mark assertained the problem was as simple as resealing the tub/shower area. He estimated two hours but it only took him one. He also fixed a leak we had in our kitchen tap. Again, we weren't really sure how bad the damage would be, but it was just an o-ring! :) Mark was early, very courteous and above all honest! We would definitely recommend him and his business to anyone. Thanks, Mark! It's refreshing to know there are still honest, professional plumbers in the world!
