    Disappointed with service level

    Posted 15 November 2025

    The person who responded to my emergency call-out isolated the problem so that I could use the rest of my water supply. However, they were unable to get the spare part required and left me to call the wholesaler. An alternative provider was able to source the spare part with no delay and install quickly. For a call-out charge of £150, I would have expected better service.

    Response from ABS Plumbing and Heating

    I'm very sorry you feel that way Joyce but I did source the correct braided hose directly from the manufacturer on your behalf. The hose was bespoke to that cistern. Whilst we carry an extensive range of parts, way more than any other trade and strictly follow manufacturers specifications we did not have that particular part with us. I'm pleased that you have resolved your issue to your satisfaction.

    Fixed leaky toilet

    Posted 10 November 2025

    Declan came out the same day to fix a leak in my toilet. Great communication throughout including showing me videos of what had gone wrong and what he had fixed. Would definitely recommend.

Welcome to our 'Checkatrade' profile.


I have been in the construction industry for 30 years starting out my trade as a time served plumbing and heating engineer.


Endorsed by 'WHICH' magazine as a Which Trusted Trader for over 7 years.


Please Only Call for all enquires we can’t accept Emails or Messages.


In that time, I have expanded my knowledge of other trades and skills working alongside other professionals in the industry to offer a comprehensive, quality service to our clients with a solid background of experience.


Our clients include local authorities such as Stockport and Bury Metropolitan Borough Councils, as well as arm’s length management organisations such as Stockport Homes and Six Town Housing for the procurement of disabled access facilities in the home and in public buildings.


This work includes 'wet room' installations, structural alterations, level access UPVC doors & frames, kitchen adaptations, ramp access and bespoke property extensions.


Whilst this work is important to our business, our core services still remain in the plumbing and heating sector, installing and maintaining heating systems, boilers, electric and gas.


We work closely with mainstream boiler manufacturers such as Worcester Bosch (Accredited Installer) and Vailant (Vailant Advanced Installer).


We will also come prepared with all generic replacement parts for toilets, tap repairs or replacements, leaks and overflowing tanks to expedite all of these small jobs.


All work completed is strictly in accordance with current 'Building Regulations' and all relevant notifications, such gas installations are reported the relevant local 'Building Control' and certificates issued.
