Boiler & cylinder replacement
I have used CPS a handful of times. Most recently to replace a conventional boiler and hot water cylinder. As I am accustomed to, Christopher and Craig are very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. They offer plenty of detail and comment on the options available and are always timely in communication and professional in dealing with my tenants.

If only all plumbers were this good
Excellent response, really clear explanation. Provided initial advice on a leak coming through the ceiling. The plumber arrived on time, was exceptionally efficient and the affected rooms were left completely clean and leak free. It also cost a lot less than we had feared because of the speed of the work. Will definitely use again as our plumber of preference.

Five Star service
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.

Always prompt and reliable
Christopher Plumbing has done several jobs for us this year. They are always on time and they ask for photos to help establish the problem so time not wasted chasing parts. We have been very happy with their work and would not hesitate to recommend them.

Superb service every time
Christopher Plumbing look after my home and rental properties. They arrange with tenants, arrive when they say, charge what they say, and do a good job. From regular service to an emergency Chris has helped every time. I find it very rare to find a tradesperson so reliable! Highly recommended! Thanks

Friendly and efficient
We’ve used Christopher Plumbing on a number of occasions. Most recently for faulty underfloor heating and a new radiator. The company has also serviced and replaced our boiler. I always get an almost immediate response online. What we’ve paid has always been as per the quote. Friendly, honest and reliable.

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.

Replace faulty w/c siphon
The plumber arrived on the appointed day and on time. He was polite and efficient. The work was finished quickly and the fault unit was taken away.

Bathroom refit
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!

Repair of boiler.
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.

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.

Excellent Advice and Reassurance
I had a list of minor issues which were worrying me. Shane fixed a leak in the sink of the outhouse and was able to reassure me that the other issues were not sufficiently serious to warrant intervention. Great company.

Punctual and Friendly
We had a new en suite bathroom installed and at all times, the plumber was on time, professional and friendly. The end result was excellent and the costs were very transparent. All communication was clear and polite. I would highly recommend.

A godsend
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).

High quality and reliable service
I have been a customer of Christopher Plumbing for several years for a range of plumbing tasks and have always found the advice and level of service and workmanship to be of the highest standard. I have recommended them to others, and will continue to do so, as well as engaging their services again myself as and when required.

Christopher Plumbing Services came promptly and did the work well on the washing machine, however the hourly rate was extremely high.

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 £131 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
