We have used GP Davis & Son several times for boiler faults and fitting taps etc and they are always professional, friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond today fixing our very broken boiler two days before Christmas after a panicked phone call late last night! Thank you so much for getting us back up and running!

I cannot rate this firm highly enough! It is such a relief to know there are actually plumbers who can be relied upon to turn up when they say they will and do an excellent job, no matter whats involved. No extortionate call out fees in an emergency either. Having had a spate of things breaking down we are extremely grateful to Darryl and Ollie for their professionalism in coming to our aid and sorting out the problem every time.
