We have used Christopher Plumbing for domestic plumbing, including annual service of our gas boiler, for over five years. They have always reacted quickly to telephone messages and done what they were asked to do. They are careful to clean up any mess, and they are happy to explain problems and their response to them.

In the middle of the day I found water dripping through the ceiling of the hall of my house. I rang Christopher Plumbing Services Ltd, the call was answered immediately and the response was very positive. I was promised a visit within an hour and in what seemed like less that there was knock on the door. Alex identified the root of the problem, set about fixing it after explaining what had happened and what needed doing. He worked quickly, neatly and cheerfully and it was a relief to have the problem sorted out so spedily. I would definitely use the services of Christopher Plumbing again.

Brian fitted a new kitchen tap which was supposed to be a direct replacement but the two flexible pipes were slightly shorter which meant extending the copper pipe work and with very limited space. Additionally he replaced a faulty isolating valve which was extremely difficult to reach but he managed to reroute the copper piping to make it easier to reach the lever operated valve. It was very clear that Brian had high standards and all was carried out in a very cheerful way. Thank you, I really give him 12 out of 10

As always, excellent service. Phoned to leave a message in the morning when the flush broke and was called back pretty quickly to arrange a plumber to come the same day.

I have used Christopher Plumbers for several years now and I would highly recommend this reliable plumbing service.

This review is for a bathroom refit. We have used Christopher Plumbing for several years, for all our plumbing/heating needs, they are very reliable and their communication is excellent. Brian and Nick spent a week gutting and refitting our tired bathroom into an up-to-date shower room. They explained all the work they were doing as they went along, and were very tidy. The job has been completed to an excellent standard. They are also very friendly, polite and respectful. The final invoice was very detailed and any queries easily discussed and resolved with the office. A great service all round, thank you!

Washing Machine Leak
Customer Service
Quality
Value
Brian arrived at the agreed time. The leak was believed to be behind the washing machine but because of the way it was fitted, took ages to get away from the wall. Once out, a leak was obvious but finding it would not be easy. Brian spent a lot of time, carefully examining every option. All the pipes behind the machine were removed and checked. They were full of waste and were thought to be the cause. All cleaned and replaced along with a longer hose. The machine was run and found to be in perfect working order. The level of service was excellent, everything explained as it was done and included a couple of tips to make any future movement of the machine easier. The bill was a fair representation of the work done and I was very pleased with the overall service from start to finish.

I have been using Christopher Plumbing for several years and I have always found the firm to be prompt, efficient and reliable. The proprietor is always most helpful - the 'phone is always answered and, most importantly, the heating engineer/plumber always turns up at the appointed time - generally within a time frame of one hour. Not only do they turn up on time, but they do a first rate job quickly and efficiently. On one occasion I requested some extra work to be done and the plumber was able to accommodate my request without an additional visit. The cost is very fair - especially considering the high standard of work consistently provided. Thoroughly recommended. The most recent work was an emergency boiler repair. Other work has included replacing taps, replacing the lavatory cistern and clearing drain blockages. The firm operates chiefly in the Basingstoke area, including Old Basing, and will not let you down. The staff are helpful, well presented and a pleasure to deal with. The work is guaranteed. Communication is excellent.

Gas fire

Having been let down by another firm I found Christopher Plumbing Services in the Which Trusted Traders directory. I wanted two sets of taps replaced and a gas fire serviced. I found the firm to be polite and professional I was given the approximate cost of the work at the outset and a visiting time was given and kept to. Michael the plumber was friendly, polite and efficient but was unable to complete the gas fire service as a new part was required. This was ordered promptly and the work completed as soon as the part was available. I am very pleased with the company and would certainly use them again.

Best plumbing service I have ever used! Contacted by phone and answered straight away. Really helpful on the phone and gave me initial advice on what to do with a blocked kitchen sink. Arranged for a plumber to come out and fix it when I couldn’t do it myself. Alex arrived on time and was really polite and friendly. Cleared the blocked pipe and fixed the leak in hardly any time at all. Wore a mask the whole time so Covid safe. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company, I use them for anything plumbing or boiler related. They are friendly and punctual and always seem to go above and beyond to get things sorted in the most effective way possible for the customer. I trust them not to overcharge me for things that don’t need doing and they are always honest and open about what the problem is, the solution and the costs involved. 10/10 i recommend them to everyone.

I have used Christopher’s Plumbing for a number of years. They are so responsive, professional and really care about their work and you. They are respectful of your home and time. Many times I have asked their advice about best course of action (ie replace vs repair) and I would trust them 100%. They have done everything from a drip to a boiler replacement. I cannot recommend highly enough. I had used British Gas Homecare previously and my experience with Christopher’s Plumbing was so remarkably amazing compared to BG. You will not regret giving them a call.

Help following failure of central heating
We called Christopher Plumbing for assistance as our central heating had stopped working. The circumstances were discussed in the initial call and we were talked through some things we could do. Within five minutes our heating had sprung into life!! We suspected the problem was fairly simple and indeed it was. From past experience, we know other companies would not have been so “sympathetic” to our circumstances but our call to Christopher Plumbing was handled in a friendly, efficient and courteous manner. We shall certainly be using this company for any future plumbing issues and cannot recommend them highly enough. I had no idea there were batteries in our thermostat on the wall!!

After ringing about 7 other plumbers who were too busy to help or didn't answer their phone. I came across Christopher Plumbers. We had water dripping through the ceiling from a defective pipe and it was a Friday. I was told they would be able to come on the Monday and if I couldn't find anyone else give them a ring back. When I rang back I was very pleased to be told they would be able to come later that day. He gave me advice what to do in the meantime and explained the charges. The engineer came on time and fixed the problem very quickly and was very pleasant. Thank you Christopher Plumbers for saving us from a 'wet' weekend. (except for the rain).

The job was to install a part to get the boiler back in operation. The part was obsolete and I had obtained one second hand. CPS came and removed the existing defective part. In doing this the bolts securing stripped as they had corroded. CPS therefore had to obtain replacements. They made a second visit and installed the replacement. Slightly expensive but much less than a new boiler. Always polite, friendly and tidy up afterwards.

They did the annual service on my central heating boiler. It was as thorough as I used to get from British Gas, but cheaper and they didn't try to sell me any extra services. I had previously used them a couple of times (shower pump replacement, toilet cistern repair), and I like them for their service and reliability. May not be the cheapest but I think they are good value, and never any surprises.

Came at the time stated. I thought that it was a very expensive hourly rate. Asked for toilet flush to be mended and leaky tap in cloakroom to be mended- the tap needed a bit of sealant round the base. After 5 days the toilet flush broke again- I was advised that it might not last long. They once again came at the time stated and said that they had mended the flush. 10 minutes after the lads had gone I heard dripping- it was from the cistern into the toilet. Once again I phoned and spoke to Chris who told me that I could easliy mend it myself (and how to do this). I was not happy with that as I had spent ÂŁ131 with the 2 visits, and requested that the lads come back and mend it. It was found to be a washer that was the wrong size on the new flush. I would not use this service again. Disgruntled pensioner

Chris and his colleagues carefully analysed the problem with my gas boiler. The two employees who did the work were very polite and co-operative. When problems persisted Chris gave useful advice and came out on Christmas Eve with a representative of boiler maker and finally fixed the problem. Prices were reasonable and transparent - much cheaper than the British Gas quotation for work not in the Homecare contract. First rate.
