9.33 Very much "old school" believing in a job well done, on time
Posted 02 November
The contractor was very quick to respond with a text message. In view of the nature of the job, time was of the essence. A date/time was agreed and good communications kept me in touch with the work timelines. Subsequently the contractor requested a small change to the original date/time due to over-run of a previous job. I accepted this. He was friendly, efficient and fast. At the end, he said he was very aware of the urgency of the work, and gave me a discount on the bill because of the changes made to date/time. I would certainly recommend this contractorVerified reviewerJob location: PO3 - SSandra R

Brett has been fantastic on this whole journey. We have got issues with smelly drainage pipes in our bathroom. Brett came over to see what the issue could be. He is looked thoroughly at the pipework and drainage outside. He has given us some ideas to try before maybe taking a more drastic approach. We are so impressed with how professional and helpful Brett is that we are going to be booking him again to replace and move some radiators within our house. Brett is very reasonable with his prices. He comes across a good and honest plumber. We highly recommend him.Verified reviewerJob location: PO18Response from Bretts-Plumbing.com

I used Brett for the first time and I am very satisfied with everything! He came out in emergency to fix a big leak going through my ceiling down my boiler. He got the job done quickly but efficiently. He was super helpful and friendly and I’d definitely recommend him to anyone!Verified reviewerJob location: PO2Response from Bretts-Plumbing.com

I have used Brett several times, the latest being an emergency that arose from a leaking valve on the water supply to my sink which caused a flood that then seeped down to the flat below. I might add that the last time he was here was to fix a tap that failed and couldn’t be switched off - water that can’t be stopped gushing into the sink is a bit disconcerting! Both I considered to be emergencies. On both occasions Brett was superb. He came as soon as he could, made everything safe, told me what was needed, ordered the parts and then fitted them promptly. He is my go to plumber. 10/10.Verified reviewerJob location: PO510 Reliable, professional and honest!

Job location: PO20We had an extremely positive experience with these guys. They were professional, reliable and most importantly honest. They delivered the works we needed done at a reasonable price, they could have charged more if they took an alternative route but ultimately recommended a much better solution which ended up being cheaper. Really pleased and really nice guys! Thank you!- MMatthew H

Hi, 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, Bretts-Plumbing.com 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, ensuring your home remains cozy and comfortable throughout all seasons.
I have gained this expertise through years of experience and professional training.
At Bretts-Plumbing.com, I 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.
Normally the tiler will tile the room between 1st & 2nd fix.
Tiling or Shower boards.
Easy clean, no dirty grout marks, complete waterproof. THE ALTERNATIVE TO TILING but quicker to install.
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. That's why Bretts-plumbing.com 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 drinkable water.
NEW - Chipped Enamel or cracked acrylic bath repairs or acrylic shower tray repairs are also available.
COVID 19 - My safety is important - 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.
