    Outside taps and leak repair

    Posted 05 February

    Vk was the only plumber to come out and price the work accurately. He even sorted part of the issue then and there with no charge. Very neat work adding options for hot and cold for new outside tap. Was polite and tidy. All round excellent.

    Fixing a damaged water pipe

    Posted 05 February

    I cannot praise Vivek enough, highly recommend and will definitely be using for any future jobs! He responded immediately to an emergency water leak after I accidentally drilled through a pipe. Made very quick work of tidying up my mess and fixing the pipe, at a very reasonable price. Great communication, worked quickly and efficiently, and all without making me feel like an idiot!! Thank you!

    Value for money, professional, responsive, friendly plumber.

    Posted 18 January

    Vivek responded to my enquiry quickly and after sending him a quick video of the leaky tap and non stop flushing toilet, he immediately gave me a very reasonable quote and time frame for the repairs. Vivek was professional, friendly, and efficient and took no time at all to carry out the repairs, he left everything clean and tidy. I would definitely use VK Plumbing again.

    Responsive and helpful

    Posted 29 December 2025

    Vivek responded immediately to my enquiry and we established what the job involved via WhatsApp and he provided a quotation a few hours later. He fitted in the job within 2 days despite being so close to Christmas. The job was completed efficiently. We will definitely use him again.
