    Replaced hall radiator and piping

    Posted 29 April

    Watkins plumbing and heating was highly professional. Communication was clear and informative. Sam was on time and polite. The radiator was replaced very efficiently. Sam also replaced some piping. The quality of work was very high and will use Sam for future plumbing jobs. Very happy to recommend.

    Friendly and professional.

    A small job of replacing bathroom taps. Right from the start was an easy experience. Great communication throughout. We needed to book couple of months ahead but that was no issue. Friendly and professional service. And we have new taps. Very happy customers.

    Professional & reliable company

    Posted 20 February

    Great service I reached out to this company and immediately got a response. Sam popped by to have a look and managed to fix my bathroom taps and also kitchen tap. While he was here asked him to look at one of my radiator as wasn’t working I thought it was the pin but wasn’t he went out and bought a part and fitted. Great service really pleased with Sam’s work and tidy worker. 100% recommend thank you
