10 General Plumbing

Excellent Emergency Response
Ian was able to come out the same day to fix an emergency cistern issue. He was clear and upfront about the call-out charges, and once he'd collected the necessary parts, he completed the repair quickly and efficiently. I'll definitely be keeping his details for any future plumbing work and would happily recommend him to others. Thank you.Job location: TA2110 Plumbing Repairs

Outside tap replacement
Ian came and did the job on Sunday afternoon. He got on with it as soon as he arrived, was a nice chap to chat with. The job was completed within the hour and was tidy, and now I have a none leaking tap. RecommendJob location: TA19RStephen P10 Pipe Fitter

isolation valves fitted under sink
needed 2 isolation valves fitted under the sink, Ian replied to the job in under 20 minutes and arrived 10 minutes after that and completed the job in an extremely short time frame and was very polite and efficient. Everything looks good so far but I'll update the review once the sinks been taken out, worktops been replaced and the new tap is fitted.Verified reviewerJob location: TA1Rsimon V10 Shower Repair
