PlumbPal is back and he’s firing in all cylinders!
Whether it’s a leaky tap or a full new boiler that’s needed PlumbPal will be there for you. For me from the day he came to quote to completing the job the efficiency, care and attention to detail even hoovering up afterwards, I knew he was the Plumber for me.
Don’t just take my word for it here are some of the things his customers have said when they heard he was back.
“We’re so pleased we’ve got our excellent plumber”Janet
“Keep it up Ian, your work is excellent and well worth the wait” - Raymond
“We wouldn’t use anyone else” - Bev
“Highly recommend” - numerous
Every advertiser in our Magazine is a local family business and they need our support now more than ever. We have three plumbers advertising in the magazine and all three come highly recommended.
