10 Dripping kitchen tap.
Posted 08 January
Darren was the only person to communicate with me of all the companies contacted. He arrived when he said he would,changed our tap quickly and efficiently and tidied up afterwards. I would have no hesitation in recommending him and have kept his business card in case we or family and friends need a plumber in the future.Verified reviewerJob location: SS1 - BBobby R
