Really pleased with this job. Plumber was professional, friendly and considerate. He turned up early and did his best to meet my pricing needs for the parts, and installed them very quickly. Problem was fixed and I'm overall really happy with the speed and efficiency of the service via housekeep and the quality of the job from the plumber.
