    Difficult mains water leak sorted

    Posted 17 February

    We had a leak on our mains water pipe, no obvious point where the water was coming from. Layne came round to do a first inspection explained what he was doing at every stage and later sent through a price for the job to track down and repair the leak. On the day he arrived on time and spent most of the day trying to find the leak as the water was running away from where actual leak was! Once found the repair was done in a very professional and correct manner. Very, very pleased with the work done and professionalism shown, happy to recommend.

    We needed an emergency plumber to help us fix a toilet in one of our properties. The response was excellent, and the job was completed really efficiently. I would highly recommend Hughes and use them again. Thank you!
