    Bad after job experience

    Posted 30 November

    This tradesman carried out the fix on a leak but I thought he charged a lot 《£150》to fix a small leak and replace a valve. What I found very annoying was when I explained I did not have cash or card so to do a bank transfer I would need to go on my computer in the space of less than 24 hours he sent about 5 messages and called about 7 times leaving 4 voicemail. I found this harassing and unprofessional. We are currently looking for a big plumbing job but would not use this person again due to this harassment....

    I don't understand. why did you give me such a low grade when I did the job very well, Saturday. explained from the beginning everything that needs to be done, yes I know I was wrong, I exaggerated about the pay, but please if you want to delete this grade because this does not represent me, I do my job as best as possible and I apologize a thousand times

    Pipe leak repaired

    Posted 10 November

    The plumber arrived even earlier than scheduled but kept me informed the whole time. Very professional, even with my cats around! The work was done quickly and efficiently. Highly recommended.

    They did a great job and left the place clean and neat. The bath sealant was old and leaking so they replace the side panel and redid the sealing. Was well done and done immediately

    Cat flapping installation through cavity wall.

    Posted 14 October

    Came out to provide a quotation for cat flap fitting, but had time in the evening to complete the work on the same day for a reasonable price.
