Jo has completed various works in our house over the past decade. He has annually maintained our boilers. We have two beautiful bathrooms fitted from scratch but no job is too small from leaky pipes to wobbly taps. Jo is always on call, pops rounds to assess and is clear when he is available and prices are always. He is experienced, efficient, friendly and has great stories to share. Thank you for all your hard work.

Joe is amazing. I was looking for a local quality plumber that is also fair on pricing. My old toilet broke down and I was a bit skeptical regarding getting a new one as opposed to just replacing the part that has stopped working because I got 'burned' in the past by others who dumped outrageous fees to fix even the smallest of issues. Joe was a great communicator from start to finish and patiently answered all my questions, directed me towards a great place to choose what I needed from and even when the new system arrived damaged he was quick to resolve the issue by getting a new one on order, which has been brought and eventually fitted within 24 hours. There were no hidden fees, everything transparent from the get go, great workmanship inspite the difficulties arisen by said old system and and overall a tradesman I'll be more than happy to work with again, for jobs big or small. Thank you for all your hard work.

I highly recommend Joe. He is thorough, knowledgeable and capable and not only that he is very friendly and approachable. He has helped me and my elderly parents and the care he took over his work and customers is so very impressive. He sorted out a problem for my parents that others simply did not take the time or care to fix and we are all very grateful. You could not find a nicer guy and more capable plumber. Highly recommend.

Joe did a great job servicing our boiler again. Been with him rather than British Gas for years now, wish I’d done it sooner, Joe makes sure everything is in tip top condition and I’ve had no issues with the boiler since he’s been looking after it (unlike when BG were looking after it). Joe turned up on time. Clearly explained the work he did and left everything clean and tidy. He even fixed a tap which I sprung on him last minute. If you’re in the Loughton / Buckhurst Hill / Woodford area I’d definitely recommend using Joe at Force Blue.

I have used Joe before for a new bathroom, and was extremely pleased with the result, so when I needed a new boiler Joe was the first person I called. Joe supplied and fitted a new boiler within days and as usual was very polite, knowledgeable and a tidy worker I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone in my surrounding areas of Chingford, Highams Park, Buckhurst Hill, Loughton, Epping and beyond for all type of plumbing work. He is by far the best!
