We called Brett to plumb a new water supply from our loft to the new washing machine cupboard and run a new wast through the wall and to the drain . He fitted us in on the day we wanted at short notice and was very reasonably priced and put no extra charge on the materials we needed and the time he spent going to get them . A1 service from a very nice polite and very competent plumber 👍Verified reviewerJob location: PO10- MMary G

I’m Brett,
I went back to college and re-trained in 2015, and I am now proudly a qualified Plumber.
As an experienced plumber serving Portsmouth and the surrounding areas, I offer various services tailored to meet the needs of our clients.
From straightforward maintenance to plumbing and installing appliances in kitchens and bathrooms, I can handle it all.
If you're looking for someone to install that new bath, shower, or kitchen sink, or to ensure that your heating system is in the best possible shape, is your best option.
In addition, my skills aren't limited to merely installing high-quality bathroom and kitchen plumbing.
I'm also knowledgeable in heating installations and repairs, (NOT BOILERS) ensuring your home remains cozy and comfortable throughout all seasons.
I have gained this expertise through years of experience and professional training.
At Brett's Plumbing we understand and truly value the essence of general maintenance.
It's crucial in warding off the development of small issues into significant, possibly damaging problems.
My dedication is geared towards helping you ensure that everything continues to work seamlessly and efficiently, which is why I am always available to assist when you need it most.
My work comes with a 12-month guarantee on workmanship.
I'm insured, and now an experienced plumber.
I have not seen it all by far and if, I don't know something, I'll stick my hand up and find out.
Emergency 24/7.
If you require Emergency assistance even at unusual hours or Bank Holidays, PLEASE CALL
Complete Guarantee.
You only pay me once the job is complete, and you are satisfied that I have carried out the work as pre-agreed. FREE ESTIMATES.
Thinking of having a new bathroom or maybe just an update - We offer a free no-obligation quote for you to consider, make changes, and create your own new bathroom.
ALL PLUMBING & COMPLETE BATHROOMS - pipework work is undertaken; 1st and 2nd fix. - works can be carried out in 2 stages.
1st Fix - moving the bathroom pipework around, swapping the bath, basin, or toilet position requires a new layout of pipework prior to any tiling of the room. - this is called 1st fix. 2nd fix is the actual fitting and connecting pipes to new bathroom furniture and faucets.
Shower panels or TILING.
MY PROMISE - My services might be varied but they all come with the same promise of quality, dedication, and durability.
The benefits to you in not having to source more than 1 tradesman on bigger projects and the job running smoothly and being completed in a timely manner.
I’ll only work with the best materials available, and I never compromise quality for time.
I strive for honest customer service, so contracts are only paid in full when the finished work is to the client's satisfaction as per the agreed works.
Plumbing is a different game; it's not like the electric going and getting the candles out for the evening - I'd even go as far as saying it's enjoyable for 1 night by candle, but it's not the same with Water if it goes wrong.
Will do everything possible to get the leak stopped and the water running.
We believe you can’t leave a customer at the end of the working day without the basics & that's running clean water.
NEW - Chipped Enamel or cracked acrylic bath repairs or acrylic shower tray repairs are also available.
COVID 19 - My safety is important - as equally is yours.
I do not expect you to wear a mask in your own home, I do expect space in return for my hands & face with disposable gloves and face mask.
It is paramount that I keep myself safe as well as you,
My work comes with a 12-month guarantee on workmanship.
I'm insured, and an experienced plumber.
