Case study: keeping the water on while we fetched a part
The problem
A customer who’d just moved into a new house needed a plumber, and didn’t even know where their stopcock was.
What we did
Damian came round exactly when they needed him. When he had to go for a part, he made sure they had water while he was gone and came straight back. He showed them where the stopcock was, and did a small extra job while he was there.
The result
Based on a customer review from Christa Beaumont, May 2026.
Job done, and they now know where their stopcock is. In the customer’s words: “Damian was fab.”
