“Use this company - you won’t regret it!”
Another great review on Trustpilot, much appreciated!
“I’ve used Christopher Plumbing a number of times in the past year, having experienced a few dodgy plumbers before. The telephone enquiries are answered promptly and politely, and if Chloe can’t answer the query then she gets someone more knowledgeable to call back - the same day, usually within an hour. Staff calling to prepare a quotation usually come, within the week (mostly the next day), and on time - all quotes are then sent from the office the same or next day.
The plumbers who’ve come to the house again have arrived on time, calling beforehand to check it’s still ok. I’ve been so impressed with how polite, careful and tidy they’ve been with all aspects of the jobs they’ve done - changing radiators, moving radiators, servicing boiler.
This company has a great team - you get good service from start to finish! Well done - other companies take note!”
Nothing to see here...
... just a pigeon being released from behind a gas fire! He strutted out and didn't seem to have suffered from the experience.An unexpected job while we were servicing the boiler.
Rated 'Excellent' on Trustpilot
We're very proud to see that our Trustpilot 'TrustScore' has risen to 4.9. Many thanks to our customers for helping us achieve this by taking the time to submit some great reviews.
Well done, Tom!

Christopher's “Top Plumbing Services”
Once you've seen it... ;-)
Recent 5-star review
We were delighted to receive this recent feedback from a new customer, particularly as his neighbour had recommended our services to him.
“Martyn called this morning perfectly on time and as expected very polite and approachable. Having explained the issue (overflowing cold water cistern in loft) he set about the assessing the issue and after setting down some floor protection he was up in the loft and within the first half hour he had completed the repair, tidied up, removed the broken pieces and cleared away. A great service and professional so would give 5/5 and would not hesitate to recommend Christopher Plumbing Services.”
New boiler installation earns us a 5-star review
We're always delighted to receive great feedback from regular customers. We installed a Vaillant boiler for this customer.
“Installers arrived promptly each day and the work was completed within given timeframe. Upon ompletion the engineer registered the new boiler directly with Vaillant to ensure full guarantee length. Property left clean and tidy on completion. Happy with the service and would use again :) ”
What a brilliant review!
We completed a bathroom for this happy customer
“Absolutely fantastic service. Very competent in what they do but with the added bonus of being skilled at communication and building rapport with customers which is a trait we've found lacking in other traders. Our new bathroom is perfect and we have no hesitation in recommending them. Thank you Boss-man Chris, Brian, Alex and Office-lady Chloe, you're all fab.”
Office hours
We open at 8.00am and close at 5.30pm, Monday to Friday (closed bank holidays). We always return calls or respond to messages as soon so don't hesitate to leave an answerphone message after 5.30pm or send an email.

Unwanted water feature
A recent Trustpilot 5-star review praised Brian's leak detection work:
“Excellent job, located a leak that had stumped three previous plumbers. Once the leak was located he got to the pipe and fixed it without destroying the kitchen.”
Brian (our kitchen specialist) located the leak behind a kitchen unit, plasterboard, plastic and insulation - noting that he had found an 'indoor water feature'!
