John is an exceptional plumber - on a Sunday morning, in the midst of winter, with my very ill mother he sorted out the boiler and saved the day.

Highly recommend John; he does a fantastic job, leaves everything neat and tidy, and even helped us with a few other bits that we hadn't noticed before he left. We never feel the need to ask around - when we have a plumbing or tiling related job to be done, he's the one we call. Thanks John & Tania!

John has been there to help us with all of our small and large jobs, and is flexible when necessary, including prompt responses to emergencies when needed! He has done excellent work refitting our bathroom, which now looks beautiful, and a variety of smaller fixes of burst pipes etc.

I had a new toilet, sink, shower screen and taps fitted by John and Mikey. I'm really happy with the work they did. They worked so quickly and efficiently. They are the people you want working on your new home - expert, courteous, clean, considerate and polite. I thoroughly recommend them.
