We have used Neil for gas central heating installation and service plus other general plumbing works in central Edinburgh for some years. He arrives when he says he will, he knows exactly what he's doing and works quickly and tidily. He's also reasonably priced; never any nonsense. All in all, we are very happy to have found him and wouldn't consider using anyone else.

We had work done to the bathroom, new bathroom suite, tiling, and new doors made for cupboards. There was quite a lot to be sorted out in respect of choice of materials and liaison with suppliers and Neil was helpful and good at maintaining communication. Neil coped well with difficulties like the sudden unavailability of a tiler, and problems with tiles supplied by a showroom. The work is of a good standard, we are happy with it and would use them again.

Neil installed our Viessmann boiler 7 years ago, replaced all the old radiators and plumbed replacement kitchen and bathrooms. It’s an old hard-to-reach third floor old town flat and he turned up on the date and time agreed, worked fast with zero nonsense and cleaned up as he went. Whole job was done in the time and to the price specified. Since then he’s serviced the system every year and attended to one component break-down, again fixed at the time and price agreed. In short, if you need a plumber in Edinburgh, and if you can book him, he’s first class.

I have been using Plumbfaster since 2017 when Neil fitted a new boiler in my flat. More recently, he sourced and fitted a new set of radiators for me. I have always been impressed by Neil's meticulous work and great attention to detail. He is efficient, clean and tidy and is always happy to explain what he is doing and why. Products that he has supplied have always been of high quality. Highly recommended.

I have had my Combination Boiler looked after annually by Plumbfaster since it was installed and highly recommend them for excellent and efficient service.

Have used Neil several times over the last 4 years. His quality of work and attention to details is excellent. His focus on completing the tasks ranging from new boiler installation to replacing various leaking and non functioning manual and motorised valves has been completely satisfactory.Despite his ever increasing workload, he will do his best to fit us in to his schedule. He has a pleasant and friendly communicative personality which reflects in his positive attitude and completely trustworthy relationship.

As recommended by my neighbour, Neil/Plumbfaster came out to assess a boiler fault on Monday and despite trying to fix the fault carefully via numerous fixes, phone calls and attempts... it was deemed more economical to renew it - it was 16+ years old and had been touch and go for a year. So, they ended up installing a new boiler by Friday, with no fuss. They were very busy all week but fitted me in and were extremely thorough and professional. They were reasonably priced too and with no hidden costs. I'll now be the one recommending them to all my other neighbours too!

Neil McKay at Plumbfaster fitted a new bathroom for me, including a bath, sink unit, toilet and steam shower. He also installed a flush fitting TV in the wall connected to Sonos ceiling speakers and two downlit wall recesses. I couldn’t be happier with the work completed by Neil and his team which consisted of plumbers, tilers, joiner, electrician, plasterer and painter. Neil managed the entire project and ensured the trades were on site exactly when they were needed and that everything was completed to Neil's high standard and on schedule. I must mention that his attention to detail is second to none and he discussed the install with me throughout so I always knew what was happening. He also came up with suggestions which ultimately made the finished bathroom better, for example changing the floor of the steam shower to a wet room floor instead of a shower tray. If any issues arose, Neil dealt with them competently; for example when the shower was initially tested there was hardly any water flowing. Neil took advice from Stuart Turner (existing Positive head pump manufacturer) and Hans Grohe and it turned out I had the wrong type of pump. Within 2 hours a new Negative head pump was bought and installed and the shower works perfectly. This is one of the biggest projects I have done and I am extremely happy it was Neil doing it as he is highly professional, approachable and extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a bathroom installation.

The new installation in August 2021 and service after one year were carried out entirely to our satisfaction and the boiler has been working perfectly since installation.

We were recommended to use Neil by bathroom supplier as we were looking to refurbish three bathrooms in one go. Neil and his team were fantastic from day one and exceed all of our expectations. Rarely do you come across tradesmen with such exacting standards as Neil. His attention to detail is second to none and over the ten weeks his team were with us, they did everything to time and design, consistently going the extra mile to ensure complete satisfaction. I would recommend Neil to anyone considering plumbing or bathroom works without a moments hesitation, he really is that good.
