Matty SlingsbyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend Alex! I had a leaky toilet which needed replacing and had a really fast response time. Quick to diagnose the issue and order some new parts for a full toilet replacement with transparency around the issue and how to resolve. This was replaced really quickly, I recieved a quote from a different plumber- Alex did this in half the cost and half the time as well to a great standard. Super friendly guy, will be using for any other issues moving forwards - provides great value for his customers. Jess LouiseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alex came out to us in an emergency plumbing situation within half an hour. As well as being speedy, he was unbelievably professional, good-humoured and knowledgable - and well priced. Would use him again in a heartbeat and wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Excellent service! Thank you Alex 🙂 Saron BerheTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Alex was efficient, professional and friendly. He arrived as promised and completed the job having brought the replacement part. He did an excellent job sorting out our cistern- better than it was when new! Thank you so much Alex! Marina NatschkeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 100% recommend Alex and his services. He saved us in the middle of the night when our faulty tap flooded our kitchen. We will definitely use him again. Julian PeakTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After having 2 boiler companies let us down Alex came at 9pm last night and changed valve. He has ordered parts for return next week and cannot rate service highly enough. Gnana SagarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alex was brilliant. He fixed both of my leaking toilets quickly. He changed the damaged parts himself and I believe he charged me very reasonably. Five stars for his service.
