We have used Leon so many times for years on jobs big and small, straight forward and complicated and he has not once failed to complete a job to a high standard even after other plumbers have tried to fix the most difficult and complex issues and failed Leon has always been able to step right in and sort it due to his experience and eye for detail. His communication is the best of any plumber I have ever dealt with he uses quality fittings and is extremely honest, realistic and reliable.

Detailed reviews
We took on the services of Leon and his team back in August for quite a large domestic job. Leon was very helpful and tolerant of our needs especially considering that we new nothing about renovating or what was going to be needed. Leon not only talked us through the entire process but he also gave solid advise about products we were considering and offered to source better quality products at more than competitive prices. I know that during the 2 month project that we were very demanding and
BEST VALUE FOR MONEY,WILL USE AGAIN, VERY RELIABLE .

Worth checking yourself
Only a few public reviews are shown. Ask for recent references you can contact.
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
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.
