Kirk is great. Friendly and quick and tidy and he does good work. He was really helpful fitting our shower straight away when another plumber let us down. We won't be using anyone else from now on! Highly recommend him.

Once they said to me "who installed that for you? That is a cheap piece of gear. ". I didn't want to be rude but it was them who fitted that piece of gear only a year.
