Mr Tom McDonald

Hello I&#39;m Plumber Tom I am an independent Ltd company. One employee (me) with excellent reviews of my work. Covering most aspects of domestic plumbing except Gas. You can also find me in the ‘Little Green Book’ for the Horsley area, The ‘Horsley Directory’ and the Clandon Parish Magazine. Just give me a ring and I’ll see if I can help.

Front View new shower with chrome shroud. 

Rear view of New Bristan concealed shower.

Old shower with rusted screw heads making service not possible. 

Fully insulated and trace heating cable added to prevent  future pipe bursts. 

Why you don’t ever ever grip fill/ grab adhesive a toilet to the wall. Down the line it will want servicing and the only option here was to take a hammer to it. New wc installed after. 

Customer had a leak on an old valve before Christmas requiring large hole to be cut in shower wall board. Bit of a quirky finish. All going in 9months so customer happy. 

Shower pump repositioned in airing cupboard. Previously up high. 

Re positioning shower feed pipe for a home DIY customer. Customer was changing from bath to shower with 22mm pipe work moved. 

Replaced section of pipe work at a farm and repositioned meter to sit flush to level ground. 

Another Essex flange. They’ll go anywhere, opposed to the surrey type that only goes on top. 

Installation of Marflow shower Pl8 for correct bar mixer install. 

Original pipework not suitable for a modern bar mixer. 
Pushfit elbows in the wall mean the shower connections can’t be tightened!

Plumber Tom

Tom always responds incredibly quickly and has diagnosed and fixed a range of plumbing issues for us. We would definitely recommend his professional and efficient service.,

Professional and efficient solutions to plumbing needs

Tom was able to help me out at very short notice, with detecting and removing some old pipes. He was fast, thorough and left everything tidy.

Great plumber

Excellent, efficient service!
Tom came out incredibly quickly and diagnosed our leaking shower right away. He even called the supplier to make sure we ordered the correct part, and came back to install it perfectly. It's been working great ever since. Tom was friendly, knowledgeable, and left the place spotless. Highly recommend!

Leaking shower fixed. Highly recommend.

I have used Tom twice now. He responded quickly  to my telephone call and came and fixed things for us the next day!. I would recommend him. He was also friendly and obliging…… thank you Tom!

No hassle plumbing solutions!

Tom has carried out several jobs for us and my mother in law, the most recent being last week when he fixed a defective kitchen sink.  What impresses me most is that he turns up when he said he would, identifies the problem and gets on and fixes it with no fuss or time wasting and at a reasonable price.

Reliable and trustworthy

Tom has been to do work for me on numerous occasions. He is always very helpful in offering a quick appointment and is very knowledgeable and professional. He is solution driven and rather than telling me a problem can’t be fixed finds a way to sort it out.  Highly recommend.

Great Plumber / Highly recommend
