    Emergency Plumber Service

    Posted 10 July

    Reliable, honest and fair pricing - emergency plumbing at its best!

    Called along with a handful of other numbers 11pm one night and Dave was the only one who answered when I had a major internal water leak! He arrived by 1am and put our mind at ease. It was a complex job but Dave came back 3 days running and always answered his phone and even helped me late one night when things went wrong again. Things will break, but this man kept his word every time to me, and I believe genuinely will do everything he can to fix your problem. Would recommend and will be using again! His pricing was competitive and his workmanship excellent - very tidy

    Gas Boiler Servicing / Repair

    Posted 07 July

    Very knowledgeable & professional!

    Hired David after another company ghosted us after failing to fix an issue with our boiler. David was extremely knowledgeable, very professional & took the time to explain the issues & teach us how to fix any pressure drops & radiator issues we'd potentially have in the future. The boiler has been fine since & he has sent multiple follow up texts to check everything is still ok. Will absolutely be hiring him again for any check ups or problems we have in the future!
