    Removed water filter and installed stop screw.

    They arrived exactly on time and, to my surprise, were able to do the job there and then. I thought they would just come over to quote but they had the bits needed in their van. In total it took them about 2 and a half hours. The quoted price seemed reasonable and they left the house tidy. Overall I am pleased.

    Reliable, said he was going to be here and was here on time. Carried out the work very quickly and will definitely recommend him and his services and will be using him again in the future. Very happy customer :)

    Bad after job experience

    Posted 30 November 2025

    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....

    Response from Handymen

    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
