Detailed reviews
Was away on holiday when had a problem with a tenants flat. Rang Aitkens and they said to enjoy my holiday and leave it to them. Turned up first thing the next day and sorted the problem. Great service and great price.

What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.
Agree the call-out fee, the hourly or fixed rate, and whether parts are charged on top, in writing, before an emergency plumber starts. Out-of-hours overcharging and 'while I'm here' add-ons are common complaints.
Be wary of a plumber who, on a first visit, says your whole system or boiler must be replaced. Get a second opinion and an itemised quote (parts and labour separately) before agreeing to major work.
Gas and boiler work is a separate, regulated trade, not general plumbing. Make sure anyone working on a gas appliance is specifically registered to do gas work, and ask to see that registration before they start.
