Work was agreed a few days prior to commencement. Work was done promptly and efficiently, at the time specified and to budget. The work carried out was to an extremely high standard. The tradesmen worked cleanly and were considerate and polite. We were given a complete and clear explanation of the work carried out on completion. The work was carried out to our complete satisfaction, and we would have no hesitation in recommending the company to anyone and will certainly employ them for any work in the future.

Delighted with Full Bathroom Renovation

Peter, James and all the trades they work with completed the renovation of our bathroom on budget and on time. They were a pleasure to have around, and made a potentially stressful renovation project run as smooth as possible for us. Any minor hitches were addressed quickly and without a fuss. The standard of customer care and communication is well beyond most other trades we have used previously.The transformation of our bathroom is dramatic,and we are absolutely delighted with the finish. It is now a pleasure to use and a credit to Peter and his team. We will certainly call Peter again, should we need any other plumbing or gas work.

Peter Higson is a genuinely nice guy and very knowledgeable. He helped us when we moved in our current house which at the time didn't have central heating but was fitted with a very old (and not working) coal boiler and immersion take only. He helped recommend the boiler and system we needed, fitted it, connected it to the new gas mains we had installed, fitted all the pips and new radiators into the property. His extensive knowledge of current but also traditional systems was invaluable to achieve this as he needed to decommission the existing coal system and connect in the new one. The boiler and system has worked perfectly since installed five years ago and we use Peter to service it annually. If you're looking for a decent plumber, who can be relied upon then give Peter a call.

Peter and James refurbished our bathroom and carried out a number of repairs to our plumbing system. Throughout the work they were polite and considerate and we are delighted with the standard of workmanship. Throughout the process we were kept well informed of how things were progressing and what the next step would be and they were happy to discuss any concerns we had. Both Peter and James were reliable and always arrived on time for appointments. I would definitely recommend this company. Thanks Peter!

Peter and James carried out a number of fixes in our house including two leaking pipes above the ceiling, a broken toilet and shower bar valve. We were happy with the work and they left the areas clean and tidy. Peter and James were very efficient, professional and friendly. I would recommend and use them again for any plumbing needs. Thanks again!

The Trader supplied a detailed schedule of work and provided a reasonable quotation. He attended promptly on the agreed date to carry out the work of removing an old radiator and re-siting and fitting a new central heating radiator. He was friendly, helpful and professional and carried out the work to a high standard. He tested the system to prove it worked. He left the site clean and tidy.

We had a great experience with Peter and his assistant, James, and have no hesitation in recommending them. They replaced our boiler and did some additional plumbing work in house, all to a very high standard. Peter was very friendly and easy to communicate with before, throughout and after the work, and is clearly an expert in his trade.

It was a pleasure to meet Pete and James. Both were friendly, polite and informative throughout the duration of the work. This is actually the second time I have used their services. The first time was to replace a shower enclosure and tray as well as cleaning the tiles. The second time was to address an issue with the water pressure by installing a water pressure governing system under the kitchen sink. On both occasions the work was completed to a very high standard and with the minimum amount of disruption possible. My property was left clean and tidy to the extent that you couldn't tell they had ever been there. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing plumbing services.
