I am so glad our previous plumber let us down because otherwise we wouldn't have found Phil, he is superb. I have had 2 problems over the past year where he has come along immediately and sorted them out. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and respectful. Nothing seems too much trouble and he is young so has plenty of plumbing life left in him, which is a bonus for us customers 😁

Phil has helped us on several occasions with repairs and renovations since we have moved to the area. He has installed a register plate for our wood burning stove to replace an old and failing instance, he is repaired frost damaged external pipes, toilet mechanism repair and oil boiler maintenance. Phil's work has been excellent, and all completed to the discussed approach and cost. Phil's been great at agreeing dates and times for the jobs and has been reliable, friendly and helpful throughout. Very good service, thanks Phil.

We had the absolute pleasure of stumbling across Phil after being let down by others on our new build bungalow. We found him to be reliable, very knowledgable & really did help in many aspects of the build with both advice & support, nothing was too much trouble & we never felt as if we were being fobbed off. Phil, has a very high standard of work, & always treated the bungalow as our home, even though it was no more than a building site for many months. Always cheery & enjoyable to have around & is partial to a bacon sandwich if on offer 😂. We really can’t recommend him highly enough.
