Andy and two other workmen came to replace our en-suite shower, fix our bath tap/shower mixer and replace sink tap and refuse. They arrived on time, were extremely efficient and the workmanship was excellent. It was a hassle free job and I would definitely use them again/recommend them.

Andy came to replace the bathroom cistern and radiator valve. Easy! In the past he's done more challenging things like replacing our boiler and installing a water softener. Large and small - all were done to perfection.

Andy has been my go-to plumber for 5 years now, and was my first choice when my boiler needed replacing. In addition to highly professional workmanship, I particularly appreciated how interactive and customer-focussed he was at all stages of the process. I'm happy to recommend him.

Andy (the Famous Plumber) & Phil have looked after our heating & hot water system for the last 4 years or so, during which time we have received reliable, extremely efficient & personable service, along with some excellent advice. The most recent work we've had done was a new hot water cylinder, installed by Andy & Phil with the minimum of disruption & absolutely no hassle. They also tidied up messy pipe-work left by the previous plumber, so everything looks much neater. We have complete confidence in Andy's work & are pleased to give our recommendation.

Andy and his team carried out two lots of work for us: firstly he installed a new house pump and hot water cylinder, moved/replaced a couple of radiators and renovated some basin fittings; secondly he installed a new shower, shower cubicle and sanitary wear in a refurbished shower room. We received very high-quality advice, the work was done punctually and with great professionalism, and the attitude of the team was always cheerful, positive and respectful. The shower room looks fantastic and the flow of the shower is the best I have ever known, while at the same time everything is as tight as a drum with not a drop of water in the wrong place. I cannot recommend Andy highly enough.

Andy fixed my shower when the large bathroom company that had installed it, as well as other independent plumbers, couldn't. He also installed a heated towel rail in my bathroom and a kitchen tap. All his work was excellent, very friendly and on time. I am definitely going to get Andy to service my central heating and would totally recommend him.

Andy and his team installed a new boiler and overhauled the central-heating system 2 years ago with such good advice and efficiency that I have continued to use him for plumbing work. The recent boiler service was done with the usual friendliness, courtesy and thoroughness.

We had a problem with our power shower and Andy approached the job (via ringing the manufacturer) professionally and once he had the feedback, the job was done on the 2nd visit. No complaints, he is reliable, courteous and knows his stuff.

Andy has been solving all our plumbing requirements for many years. He services our boiler every year reminding us when it is due without us having to contact him. He and his staff are very efficient and tidy workers and arrive at the time arranged. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Andy installed a new boiler and radiators into our house, replacing an old, inefficient system. His work is of a very high standard and he offers fair, unbiased advice (for example on different boiler or wireless control options). He has obviously installed lots of systems, but even so the final decision is made by the customer - he's not in any way pushy. Polite at all times and very quick to respond to messages online or by phone. We will certainly use Andy again.

His admin and communications were extremely efficient, we received very high-quality advice, the work was done punctually and with great professionalism, and the attitude of the team was always cheerful, positive and respectful. As if this wasn't enough, once the pump was installed it revealed a problem in the water system which Andy stayed well into the evening to fix. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I contacted Andy to arrange a review of my existing heating system and to install an new boiler and controller. Not only was Andy and his team totally professional, if found their advice and guidance impartial and felt that they were always recommending the right option, and not trying to increase prices for themselves. They were in my property for 3 days to install a new boiler, flush the system and ensure it was all working. Andy also took the time to track down the specific heated towel rail that I wanted for my bathroom. Finally, and one of the best parts of the service form the team, he checked back a few days after installation to ensure that everything was working correctly. I would heartily recommend their services to anyone.

Andy has done a couple of jobs for us including fitting a new boiler. He has always been very knowledgeable and helpful in explaining options and we really trust his opinions. In arranging appointments he has been reliable and in doing the work has been very neat and tidy. It is great to have found a plumber who we know we can rely on and contact in the future to do any other work in the same way.

I used Andy a couple of months ago when I needed to replace my programmer. He was excellent quoting for work, giving me options, very honest and genuine, did the job which I am very happy with - and also pointed out something on my water tank for me to keep an eye on. I found him through Which and I'm happy that I did.
