Replace a radiator and fit new valves on others. Replace water pump
Dave was prompt and provided confidence in the way he went through the work that was necessary. He carried out the job at the agreed time and at the agreed cost. Quality parts were fitted. Customer service and quality were excellent and the price was also competitive. I will be requesting a boiler service this summer!

Meticulous workmanship, highly recommend.
Dave has just upgraded my Mum's central heating system, which involved removal of an old boiler, installing a new one in a different location, replacing the hot water cylinder, thermostat & timer, and laying new pipework. It was clear from his first visit how meticulous he is about his work, explaining all the different options and offering advice, without being pushy. He is very hard-working, always polite, punctual, and left the house spotless. Mum is very pleased & will be asking him to fit a new bathroom for her too. Would highly recommend.

Excellent both professionally and personally
We needed to upgrade our old boiler. We got three quotes, and though David's didn't come out the cheapest, he was the one that spent the most time at the property assessing our needs, taking measurements etc. In short he gave us the most comfort on such a large spend. He ALWAYS turned up when he said he was going to turn up and ALWAYS cleaned up spotlessly after himself. He was ALWAYS polite and yet never minced his words. His work is excellent and at one point we needed to get the mains gas people in to deal with low gas pressure and with David present we got the resultw we needed. Due to supply chain issues we would've had to wait for months for the boiler he suggested, but we worked together on getting a slightly more expensive boiler so that the work could be done immediately. Over all very pleased with the work.

I first used David some ten years ago when he proved to be a thoroughly professional, reliable and pleasant individual who completed work in a clean and efficient manner at a very reasonable cost. I called him again last year and more recently to carry out my annual boiler service and to undertake other plumbing jobs and have been delighted to find he has continued to maintain his very high standards. I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

Annual Boiler Maintenance
Dave Webster arrived on time, carried out the maintenance and discussed what he had found. I have used him a few times since he originally sorted out a major problem with the boiler, created by the original installer of it. Apart from looking after the boiler, I have used him to undertake plumbing activities which he always does well and professionally. He keeps to the quoted price and has a friendly attitude. He is very busy which is a good sign but means that, for non-urgent work, I sometimes have to wait for him to make an appointment.

David installed our new bathroom to an exceptionally high standard with the minimum of mess. He was very reliable and explained the whole process so that we know what was being done and when. He advised us on our choice of bathroom suite and organised the other trades (electrician, tiler) who were equally reliable. He really knows his stuff. David is clearly very busy but he was able to finish the installation in the agreed time frame by working on a Saturday. He cleaned up each day and there was no mess. Our new bathroom looks absolutely amazing.

Excellent work, professional installation and superb service
Right from the quotation process, it was clear David was very professional and thorough in his approach. He pointed out several aspects that other plumbers missed or forgot to mention, which they then later agreed were required when I subsequently spoke to them. David replaced our ancient Potterton boiler system with a new Valiant Ecotec + Boiler plus Megaflo Cylinder. He arrived promptly each morning, kept us informed throughout the whole process, created no unnecessary mess, left the place clean and tidy each evening and unlike some trades people was very easy to deal with. Would wholeheartedly recommend David, have already re-hired him to install our Water Softener and hopefully to refit 2 bathrooms. Very reasonably priced, especially considering the excellent finish and service provided. Thank you David.

Painless plumbing and heating
Been using Dave for over 4 years. As well as doing our boiler services, he's always made it painless to deal with the few plumbing and heating problems we've had. Recently, when he discovered our boiler was leaking, he rang the manufacturer to check the part was under warranty and returned promptly to fit it. He explained the problem clearly and charged the amount he quoted us.

One of the best traders that I have ever used
I got the details of David Webster from the Which Trusted Traders website and was surprised just how highly he was rated. I therefore decided to use him to sort out problems with my central heating system. I had previously used another central heating engineer to install and maintain my system but it became clear that he had bodged some of the work. I asked Dave to identify what was wrong and put it right. He came round and was at first reticent to do this, pointing out that the previous trader should put his work right at no cost to me. I persuaded Dave to do the work as I had lost all trust in the previous trader and was concerned that he would only make matters worse. Before Dave started he explained that it wasn't possible to be precise about the cost as he didn't know what was wrong. He investigated the problems and carried out the remedial work which he did to my complete satisfaction. He kept me informed all the time what he had found and what he needed to do to put it right. I was pleasantly surprised that what he charged was not higher. He also pointed out that the system needed a power flush which he came back and carried out over two days. He gave me a quote for the work which he kept to. As he was doing the work, he showed me just how much gunge there was in the radiators.The system is now working perfectly - I can certainly recommend him and will use him from now on for all my plumbing and central heating issues.

Top of his craft, highly competent, and very nice!
We have contracted David a several times since we moved into our house in Chislehurst, and we can say that he is an absolute diamond. First he inspected the boiler and heating system. Then shortly afterwards we asked him to replace an antiquated water system with a new Megoflo (on his recommendation), and it has been absolutely brilliant. Since then, he has repaired various leaks that have sprung in the pipes (all stemming from previous occupants' cheap plumbing work/bodged DIY attempts). Every single time, David has arrived at short noticed, isolated the problem, and corrected it highly competently and promptly. Use this guy. There are so many cowboys out there, let's ensure that true professionals like David flourish.

Dave Webster recently fitted a new, large capacity, boiler (non-combi), pump, controls (including programmable controllers for 3 circuits) frost protection, magnetic protection, system flush. He also put in some thermostatic rad valves and sorted out a problem with our heated towel rail. It was a complex installation requiring Dave to move the gas pipes, and brick up the old flue for the floor standing boiler. He took the trouble to source stock bricks to match the wall and you can't see where they have been installed - excellent brick work as well as plumbing! Dave started early in the morning and worked on til late to make sure that the job was done quickly. Indeed it finished ahead of time (3 days in total). Dave is absolutely reliable, calm and takes time to explain what he is doing and why. I felt entirely comfortable leaving him with keys so he could carry on with the job whilst I was at work. He is careful in his choice of specialists to help him (electrical work here) and makes sure that they keep to the high standards he adopts for his own work. He cleared up beautifully and came back at the weekend to explain how all the system controls work. Dave has also sorted out the paperwork for the boiler. Invoice came in promptly and at the price originally quoted plus the extra items I had asked for. I would definitely use Dave again for any plumbing work. He is a pleasure to deal with.

I asked David Webster to carry out the annual maintenance of my combination boiler and at the same time to install additional thermostatic valves and take care of various plumbing issues around the house, such as new taps, a mixer valve, an additional stopcock, etc. Mr Webster responded with an initial visit just hours after my call to agree what would be required; he made good technical suggestions then promptly emailed a detailed estimate, the amount of which was reasonable and less than I expected. A date was agreed to carry out the work, and punctually honoured. On the day David Webster worked through the list of jobs at a good pace, but without rush, taking the time to discuss to agree points of details whenever necessary, and inspiring full confidence that his work was well considered and well thought out in every aspect. The invoice was submitted in a timely manner, and reflected the initial estimate exactly. Highly recommended for a high standard of service, splendid time management and a thorough attention to detail; a fair price; and for my part the confidence that all issues that needed addressing have now been dealt with appropriately.

Dave was booked in to replace our boiler, radiators and piping - unfortunately for us, the old immersion heater decided to spring a leak 2 weeks before it was due to be replaced.

These works were completed on time and with the minimum of disruption to us (we have a 10 month old baby).

David responded to my initial enquiry quickly and visited my home soon afterwards. He assessed the problem (a leaky pipe) and gave me alternative prices for the replacement of an old wc with a new one. The job went smoothly and the new loo was installed in a morning. He was efficient and meticulous and went the extra mile to ensure the replacement cistern was supported with battens. I am very pleased with the service I received and I would have no hesitation in using him again and recommending him to other people.

Dave removed our old bolier and replaced it with a new one. He recommended a 2-tier heating system which is working very well and gives us the flexibility of heating the house in 2 zones. I completely agree with other reviews regarding the quality of Dave's work. He is very personable, carried out all the work to a high standard and charged us exactly the amount that had been itemised on his original quote. I would not hesitate in recommending him and we will definately be using him again.

We recently moved to a new home in the area and had a large number of 'odd-jobs' needed on the plumbing, including the installation of thermostats on all the radiator, removal of a radiator, boiler service, and investigation of a draining problem. Dave was very communicative and always arrived promptly as promised. The work was finished to a very high standard and on time/budget. He was quick to diagnose the drainage problem we had, and despite being a nasty job, came back and resolve it within a week. We would definitely recommend Dave and intend to use his services again _ polite, reliable, efficient and high quality of workmanship.

David completed several plumbing jobs efficiently and with the minimum of disruption. He made several suggestions as to how best to carry out the work including an alternative that meant a significant saving on cost as well as avoiding the need to take up flooring. The standard of work was excellent and he always cleaned up any mess. No problem in recommending him.

David lives up to all his hype and we will certainley use his services again. He is a very friendly person, punctual and obliging. When assessing the work we needed to have done he mentioned that it would be advisable to have some shut off valves put in but when he came to do the job he found that was not necessay as they were sited elsewhere, he therefore did what many trades people do and told that the work was not needed. So honest too which is a great trait in todays society! We will recommend without hesitation.

This is the second time I used David's services. Today he came to install a new hob. Before he started on the job he told me how much the job would cost, ie £80 to remove the old hob and install the new one. As usual he was very polite and friendly. The quality of his work was excellent and he also offered to dispose off our old hob at no extra cost. When I expressed a desire to change my kitchen sink in the near future, he gave me accurate measurements of the sink and the cut-out and advised me on how to go about it.He is a very likeable and able youn man. I would be very happy to recommend David.

David was recommended by our builder when we were having an extension built. He took out our old boiler, fitted a new one with a new cylinder, fitted new radiator valves plus all the plumbing work that went with a considerable new extension (shower unit, power shower, basins, toilets etc both up and downstairs, outside tap etc.). He could not have been better, displaying an obvious quality in his work, concientious and reliable. On top of that he is a very likeable and engaging young man, and we were totally pleased with everything he did. We would certainly use him again if the need arose.

the quote from David Webster was lowest I obtained and included more extras. The installation by him was prompt, efficient and very clean. After the successful installation of a new boiler and cylinder he returned to fix another plumbing problem (unrelated to his work as it turned out) which he did completely free of charge. I highly recommend him.

We needed to find someone to install a new gas hob which we were buying directly. We were impressed by the number of recommendations against David's name in Which? Local. He was also separately recommended by a friend. David asked us to let him know when we had taken delivery, and he would visit as soon as possible. We called him on a Thursday afternoon and he was with us 24 hours later. The job was slightly more complicated than expected, especially as it proved necessary to enlarge the space in the worktop by a few millimetres, and so it took more than two hours. David finished at about 7.40 pm, and charged us a very reasonable £90 instead of his standard £70. He is friendly, likeable, clean and tidy, and we doubt if we shall ever go elsewhere for any work he can do.

Needing a plumber to replace old lead pipes in our loft, we took the advice of Which Local and contacted David. His work on a tricky job was of the highest quality. He kept us informed of what he was doing the whole time, and told us at the end that he had used less material than he had estimated, so charged us less than his quotation. A short time later a separate problem arose, a leaking mains stop cock. David came and fixed it in half an hour, but did not charge us, as he said he was "passing by anyway." As our excellent former plumber has now retired, we are delighted to have found someone of such ability and integrity whom we can recommend highly.

The quotation process involved a full review of my options (I needed new gas pipe) and was very helpful. The quote clearly stated what was included and reasonable (compared to 3 other quotes). The work was carried out quickly (well within advised timescale) and cleanly (tidied and cleaned up afterwards too) and all working well 2 motnhs on! I would happily recommend David.

Local and I was very impressed by the many printed recommendations, which I fully endorse. I called David, who was on another job but he promised to call me within the hour, which he did, and he turned up five minutes before the appointed time.

I called David Webster after reading all the positive comments on this site. I had lost faith in British plumbers, with their late arrivals and high charges. I phoned David on the Friday and asked if he could come on the following Monday, as it's my only day off. He said he had another job first thing, but would come straight afterwards. On the day, David called to tell me he was on his way and arrived on time. He did the work quickly and explained what he was doing. He also checked something that the previous plumber had done in December. The other plumber from December had charged a small fortune and was with me for less than 15 minutes. David was with me for about 40 minutes and charged less than the other guy's call out charge. I've had my faith restored in British plumbers and will be using David again, should the need arise.

David Webster installed a new central heating boiler and some new radiators. The work involved some very awkward pipe runs providing problems to which other companies who quoted could not provide a tidy solution. David Webster solved the problems brilliantly. His workmanship was faultless, his pricing very competitive, and the job was completed on time. He was meticulous, also, about cleaning up every day. An extremely professional and utterly trustworthy man (we gave him the keys to our house later in the year so that he could get on with another job whilst we were on holiday). Thoroughly recommended.
