Sam is a good communicator. He does what he says he will and is always friendly and considerate. Sam replaced two lavatory flush systems, which are both working very well. Thank you SamVerified reviewerJob location: GU3110 Professional, friendly and excellent quality work

10 Excellent work ethic, first class job done. 5 star performance.

Job location: PO4I cannot praise Sam highly enough. He was quick to respond for a quote and did the job first thing the next day. He worked diligently and the final bill for the work done was extremely reasonable as he discovered issues, unable to be seen, that had been left by a previous builder. He kept me informed throughout and left the room clean and tidy. I would say he went above and beyond to do an excellent job for me. A friendly and personable guy who I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or to use again. Thank you Sam. - HHayley G

Posted 14 October
A highly experienced and capable plumber, Sam swiftly and effectively replaced the flush mechanism with a modern system. He also installed an isolation valve given the previous absence of one. He was prompt, professionally knowledgeable and tidied away after the work was complete. Highly approachable, I would strongly recommend his services.Verified reviewerJob location: PO1

I’ve been in the plumbing industry for 15 years, I’ve spend about 5 years in training in which I have completed my level 3 city and guilds.
I started off as an apprentice learning from a very experienced and well educated plumber and when I was ready I began to work on my own.
I have all my own tools and a van, I’m fully experienced in a wide range of plumbing and I’m very keen for the work as I really enjoy the work I do and the lovely customers I meet.
I strive to give my customers 100% and hold pride in my work that is of high standard of quality and always offer free advice if they have any questions.
