We have used Graeme for many plumbing jobs over the years, from replacing /moving radiators, moving and servicing boilers and most recently replacing our old boiler when it broke down in winter (this was done within 48 hrs of us first contacting him about it). Graeme is always reliable, thoroughly knowledgeable and does a great job. This is why we have used him repeatedly. Jobs are done on time and on budget and his is a really nice person to have doing work in your house. I highly recommend him.

Highly knowledgeable, and well-respected by major local builder who had been working for me and (thankyou) recommended Graeme for a diagnose-and-fix central heating problem. Articulate about the system's shortcomings and recommended remedies. Neat execution in implementing modifications and upgrades. Painless plumbing! Brilliant.

I called Graeme a couple of times over the past couple of years and I have always been more than happy. The first time was for my kitchen tap and the second time for my toilet leaking. I had a couple of bad experiences with plumbers before so I am really glad I found him. He is very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. He does the job as quickly as possible and explains things to you which I really appreciate. Best plumber

Graeme recently installed a new boiler for us. His quote was clear, detailed and he provided us with options, information & advice to help us choose what was right for us. He was able to install the new boiler within a week of us requesting it and when he came to do the job, he was was polite, professional and on time. When I had a problem working the boiler a few days later, Graeme was quick to respond and solved the problem via text and then when I had a further issue with a leaky radiator he came over and fixed it free of charge. Thrilled to have found such an honest, decent plumber!

Graeme replaced our boiler last week after it broke down. When he came to look at the old boiler he gave a clear comparison of the pros and cons of various replacement models (and fixed a problem with our toilet cistern while he was at it at no extra charge!) and provided a fully priced email quote (which he stuck to) within about an hour. He came back within a couple of days to put the new boiler in. He was prompt, thorough and courteous and completed the job within the day. We would strongly recommend and will be using Graeme in the future!

Graeme was recommended on a local social media page and thoroughly lived up to the hype. He safety checked our central heating and water systems, explaining clearly how they work (we previously had a combo boiler and now have something much more complicated). He also fixed a dripping radiator for no extra charge. He was efficient and friendly and I will be happy to use and recommend his services.

Graeme is always on time - always knows how to fix things other might not know and always does a brilliant job. He has been our plumber for over 3 years and I have recommended him to many friends for everything from a new boiler through to a leaking radiator. I can highly recommend him for any plumbing work you might need.

We all know how difficult it can be to find a good, honest and friendly plumber and Graeme over delivered in every aspect. He gave us a very competitive quote to move from an old gas boiler into a brand new electric boiler, explained every step we had to go through and where the cost was coming from, and managed to get it all done within a day as planned. We couldn't be happier with his work. Added perk, he is extremely nice and pleasant to talk to - strongly recommend him

Graeme has done quite a lot of work for us since we moved to this area, including replacing our boiler at relatively short notice in the middle of a cold spell. As others have observed, he always looks for the most cost effective solution and is informative and helpful with his advice. He has our complete confidence.

I discovered a leak from my bathroom washbasin and connecting kitchen waste pipe yesterday morning and was unable to use any of the sinks until the problem had been solved. Graeme arrived within a couple of hours, popped out to pick up a part and fixed the problem within the hour. He was extremely polite, very knowledgeable about what needed to be done and worked very quickly. He also gave a very good price. I was very grateful as I had to go out that evening but the issue was fixed with plenty of time for me to continue with the rest of my day. He also gave me some great recommendations on other areas I asked for advice on. I'd definitely recommend using Graeme and would use him again if I had any other plumbing issues that needed to be fixed.

When we first moved into our new property we had real problems with the shower. Graeme was the 3rd plumber we called and I only wish we'd found him earlier! He was professional, knowledgable and methodical in finding the problem and fixing it, explaining everything as he went. We also got him to fit a new kitchen tap, which he was able to recommend, source and fit the next day. Forward to this week and suddenly our boiler breaks, leaking water everywhere and leaving us freezing! Despite not feeling well Graeme came around and assessed the situation. He gave us all the options to repair/replace and, following our decision, was able put the new boiler (with excellent warranty) in. I honestly wouldn't look anywhere else for our plumbing needs.

We've all been in the position where the tradesperson walks in, looks at the problem, rubs their head and says, "Oh dear, this is bad. Very bad....", while cash registers kerching in the background. Not in this case. Graeme was not only prompt and polite, he was extremely knowledgeable, and gave useful advice, while getting on with the repair. I would recommend him to anyone with a heating/plumbing problem. Excellent value, with a high level of skill. A+

Graeme came around at short notice to give the boiler in our new house a service and did a fantastic job, helping us to understand its operation and advising us on how to take care of it on an ongoing basis. He is extremely friendly, efficient, and an all round great communicator - we will definitely be calling him again.

Graeme replaced a combi-boiler, upgraded the thermostatic function of the radiators, and carried out necessary general plumbing in the kitchen. The work was done with minimal fuss and to a high standard of workmanship. I found all interactions with Graeme reassuring and un-pressured, and didn't feel my lack of plumbing knowledge was exploited. Where applicable, more economical re-use or repair was suggested over a standard "rip it out and replace" that can be advocated by some tradespeople. I can highly recommend him for both central heating and general plumbing work.
