    Reliable and definitely know their stuff

    Posted 20 September

    They came out to investigate a blocked drain outside the kitchen. They quickly diagnosed a broken drain as mud was appearing. Returned a few days later and dug out a new drain. After a slight delay due to bad weather they came back to finish the job. They made good very well , you could hardly see where they had been. Very happy

    Complete bathroom installation

    Posted 16 September

    I couldn’t be happier with my new bathroom installation. The team were true professionals—punctual, reliable, and excellent with communication throughout the project. They worked neatly and with great attention to detail, leaving everything spotless. The quality of their workmanship is outstanding, and the finish is flawless. My bathroom now looks modern, stylish, and exactly as I envisioned. The whole process was smooth and stress-free, and I felt confident in their expertise at every stage. Highly recommend this company for anyone looking for a perfect bathroom transformation!

    Chaotic administration and poor customer care.

    Posted 18 August

    Agreed a job with this business, and work was carried out as agreed, and paid for promptly. However, getting an invoice out of him in a form suitable for my insurance company proved impossible. I was sent a hand scrawled invoice on a letter-head containing a VAT number and he is apparently not registered for VAT. He was very evasive about providing an invoice without a VAT number, and giving the detail required by my insurers. I suggest not employing this business because of chaotic attitude to administration and poor customer aftercare.

    Response from Richborough Plumbing

    Job was done to a high standard . Customer asked me to add money on for an insurance claim! We can’t do this . We are not vat registered, the customer was not charged vat. Customer had invoice sent over straight away and still to over a week to pay.
