    Would highly recommend, i honestly cannot fault them. All three were reliable, tidy and honest. I will definitely use them again in the future. Peter was given a list” of plumbing and electric jobs to do and all was completed efficiently. Paul then fixed a wall surrounding my gas fire which was cracking ( shoddy workmanship on initial installation of gas fire) Thank you Peter

    What pleased us most was the speed with which things got done. It was a very small job and we phone on a Thursday and were offered an appointment for the following Tuesday. The plumber turned up pretty much at exactly the appointment time and did the work with attention to detail. It was a fixed one hour charge for such a small job (less than other plumbers we have had) and the cost of the fittings used was exceedingly fair.The boss was equally punctual when he came to assess a more complex job and suggested some sensible options to… [read more]

    Pete and his whole team have completed an amazing refurbishment of my property. Their workmanship is to an excellent standard, they provide great advice and were responsive to all the twists and turns in the project. They also made some really helpful suggestions which I welcomed!All in all they made what was initially bit of a disaster into a well maintained house to be proud of. They were also really good at communicating progress and did what they said they would do to time and cost.

    My kitchen sink tap needed replacement and after several unanswered calls from various local plumbers I posted a query on the local Facebook group. The wox was recommended and I messaged them before 8am, and amazingly Max the plumber arrived at 11am the same day. Excellent service friendly and efficient and good value too. Top marks and will definitely be in touch next time I need a plumber. Thank you!

    I can’t thank The Worx enough after our boiler broke and we were left with no heating and hot water. Kelly arranged for Peter to come around the following day and he had our boiler fixed in less than an hour. Extremely friendly, efficient and very knowledgeable and a really reasonable bill for such a quick call out and for the work he did to get our very old boiler up and running again. We will be back in contact shortly for a boiler replacement.I would highly recommend The Worx.

    Plumbworx team of professionals spent just over a week refitting my ensuite bathroom in late August 2021. Right from the start the team were courteous, careful and considerate of the house and the fact we were home working. The team kept us posted on progress throughout and communicated anything unexpected early. The end result was a beautiful new ensuite bathroom, which functions as well as it looks. I recommend them and would happily employ the team again for similar work.

    We were extremely pleased with Paul’s work in our property on two occasions. He first fixed our gas installation when we first bought the house and did various bits of plumbing around, working to a high standard. We called him again to fit an en-suite bathroom upstairs and were amazed with the quality of the work. He designed and built the bathroom all by himself (except for a bit of electricity for which he called an electrician as he is not qualified). This saved us the pain of coordinating a plumber, a tiler and a plasterer. The work was all… [read more]
