The leak problem we had is so nasty - the radiator pipe was leaking in the wood door frame, and we have very old convention heating system. Ben was really a life saver, a true hero! He scarified his Friday night, came to rescue - done the superb job to fix the leak issue quickly and professionally. He saved us from sleepless night and massive flooding. Highly recommend!

I'd had a bit of a nightmare recently with various issues with my toilet, that other plumbers just hadn't bothered to get back to me on. I called Ben and he was very thorough on the phone to try to put me at ease and to see if it could be resolved by me. He said he could visit either the next day or the following working day, but that he'd call me the following day regardless to update me - and sure enough, he did, and thankfully was able to fit me in that afternoon. He arrived on time, was super helpful and approachable, and managed to fix the various problems quickly - and clearly takes pride

Absolutely amazing. I have only great things to say about Ben; amazing response time, super professional and polite, very fair prices, and he did a superb job on installing a new electric shower. He even bought the electric shower for me which was so helpful. Would recommend for anyone in Exeter, you can't go wrong here. Ben will definitely be our go to plumber from now on!

I contacted Ben to help us resolve a nasty smell in our down stairs cloakroom with our toilet which had got worse over time. In summary Ben came and discovered that our previous trades person had incompetently installed the toilet after putting new flooring down. They had made quite a mess of the whole plumbing situation.
Ben came across a number of issues and had to pop out to purchase various new parts, but most importantly stuck with the problem and challenges upon him for the whole afternoon until it was properly fixed to his and our satisfaction. If he wasnt totally satisfied with
