This was the annual boiler service. They sent a reminder with a suggested date, which was good for me. They specified a time. Ryan arrived ahead of time, did the job (in the kitchen) in a reasonable time, and left with no mess. Excellent! Thank you. Hope to see you next year.

Good Friday our toilet cistern was continually running water and straight into the toilet bowl. Within 1 hour SOS was on the job. They made a temporary fix. to return on 11/4 to replace the full system. Full marks yet again to SOS. We also get an annual boiler service which has been allocated for 22/4. We have had no hesitation in highly recommending them to friends and family and will continue to do this.

Can’t praise SOS enough! The office took my call and booked me in with an engineer. The engineer came to my house, quickly identified the issue with my Worcester Bosch boiler and the office gave authorisation for him to proceed with the work. Within about an hour the boiler was repaired and serviced. And 2 months on I am pleased to say the boiler is working perfectly! Thank you team!

Fix to stopcock

What work did they do? They freed the main water supply stopcock, which was stuck. Was it done to the agreed schedule and budget? Yes. What made the trader stand out? Plumber arrived on time and quickly identified and fixed the problem. He explained to me the probable cause (of the sticking stopcock) and how to prevent it happening again. Very good service, I would recommend S.O.S Plumbing LTD.

BOILER NOT WORKING
I used SOS Plumbing Limited after recommendation from a neighbour. Their engineer arrived as the boiler had not been firing up and I was having to use the reset button. It appeared to be OK on his visit but I had the same problem a couple of days later. I rang SOS, the same engineer came out promptly and the bearing plate and electrodes have now been replaced as he suspected would be necessary if the problem persisted. The boiler is now working properly, thank goodness in this very cold weather. I have found SOS very helpful in sorting out the problem and would recommend them.

Urgent plumbing works

We had problems in two separate upstairs toilets. Having managed through for several weeks one cistern that was leaking became worse and one other toilet was making an horrendous noise on refilling after flush, so repairs became a more urgent matter. Given that we were in the middle of the coronavirus crisis we were not sure that we would be able to get a plumber to attend and sort for us. SOS Plumbing were recommended to us. We contacted them and within 36 hours a plumber had sorted both issues quickly with parts without any problem. They provided an exceptional and efficient service at a very reasonable cost and I would highly recommend them to others.

Repair of leak in bathroom

Excellent service received from SOS Plumbing. Arrived on time, after a confirmation email of appointment. The plumber was wearing a mask and respected and maintained social distancing. He efficiently repaired a leak in the bathroom, and I was extremely pleased with the manor in which it was carried out. Price was good as we thought we might require major work, so it was a pleasant surprise when it could be repaired for the price.

New boiler
Had a new boiler fitted this week by SOS plumbing and heating engineers Macclesfield. Excellent workmanship. Had issues with the meter which they dealt with very efficiently. Would definitely recommend.

SOS Plumbing to the rescue
I had a fault in my WC cistern and SOS plumbing attended within 2 hours and sorted the problem. As a property manager I have used them many times before for the past 8 years and can recommend them to you without reservation. Tim Harvey

I had a problem with the boiler at my late mother’s house. There was a strong smell of gas. After tiring off the gas I called SOS Plumbing to request an engineer. They turned up on time and found, fixed and tested the repair within 30 minutes. At all times I was kept informed of what was happening

We've called SOS Plumbing three times. 1st. When kitchen fitters bodged work with the mains water, split the mains pipe, left us without water and tried to deny it. SOS were quick to respond and fixed a difficult fault that day. 2nd. To fix a toilet that wouldn't flush properly. 3. To replace the faulty kitchen tap. On each occasion their response has been quick and their work to a very high standard. They will be the first people I will call for any plumbing issues. I can't rate them highly enough.

Efficient and reliable
I'm not sure what is needed to qualify for Which Trusted Trader status but whatever it is I am sure SOS Plumbing have it. I have needed them three times (different jobs) and each time they were quick and efficient and reliable. I didn't get an exact estimate but I knew the basis of their charging and the bills I've had were in line with what I knew.
