Highly recommend Sterling Plumbers. Rang them in a complete panic the week before Christmas as had water coming through the ceiling. A plumber was sent round to assess the situation within 2 hours. The leak was identified and another appointment was made for later in the day to come and repair. The plumber was very helpful and informed me of everything that was being done as he was going along. Would not hesitate to use them again or recommend to others.

DO NOT USE IF YOU VALUE YOUR HOME
Would award zero stars if I could. I have used Sterling Plumbers for a number of small jobs over the last years and have always been happy with the work, so I felt no hesitation about choosing them for our first big job - renovating two bathrooms.
Neil recommended that he work on both bathrooms at once as it would "be quicker", but what followed was 10 weeks of having both bathrooms unusable and having our home filled with building waste (3 full transit vans worth when they finally picked it up 2.5 months later!). The waste was piled in multiple rooms as well

After a friendly initial introduction I found Sterling Plumber's work and general attitude to be disappointing. The work undertaken needed multiple visits to fix what was done previous and the general attitude appeared to be more focused on finishing the job as quickly as possible followed by aggressively demanding payment, even when the job n
Is unfinished. Specific examples of my experiences with Sterling plumbers:
- Wonky Installation: A high number of items that were plumbed in (radiators, sinks, shower screens, taps, heating cylinders) were put in wonky/ not straight so needed to be redone

We are really disappointed with their service. The plumber was great but unfortunately our carpet was damaged after his visit. No compensation was offered.

Great job done on bathroom installation: toilet, basin and cabinet, LED mirror, shower and enclosure. Professional and courteous. Always responded to enquiries, arrived in time and talked through the job in advance. Would definitely recommend.
