Job location: SE10Absolutely rude person. Called out, arrived 3 hours late. Flooded my kitchen, broke my boiler and left his tools everywhere. Don’t trust these other reviews as they’re all probably fake. This guy is a inexperience trader10 The BEST plumber in London

Job location: SW18We’ve been using Andrew for over five years now across our whole property portfolio. He’s handled everything for us — from full boiler installations and new bathrooms to the smaller day-to-day plumbing jobs — always to an excellent standard. He’s reliable, professional, and has never once let us down. He’s genuinely a lovely guy — easy to deal with, trustworthy, and always goes the extra mile to help out when something urgent comes up. I can’t recommend him highly enough!10 Big fan ~ recommend

I found Andrew through Checkatrade and have had him come back twice since as he’s so good! Friendly, excellent communication and practical efficient work. This time he fixed a broken shower tap and gave great advice about how to deal with other tap issues in the future to avoid other issues. I highly recommend him.Verified reviewerJob location: NW10
