More than 30years with this family company beginning with Rodger. Bathroom done twice, several, but thankfully not many, call outs and a regular annual boiler service. Reliable and professional.

C & R Plumbing are an excellent company. If they say that will be there at a certain time they are.
Jamie and his team have never let us down, having been mucked about and ripped off by cowboys, the company is breath of fresh air, no job is too small or too big.
Every problem we have has been dealt with. First class service, thank you very much.
No hesitation whatsoever ever in recommending C & R Plumbing.

After fitting a new Viessmann Combi boiler in 2017 there has been the usual efficiency regarding the annual Gas Service from C&R.
Would definitely recommend Jamie to other potential customers.

this team, Jamie, Sally and Ryan are simply the best. We had a replacement boiler fitted (the old one being an ancient back boiler and in a different room in the house} and they have done an absolutely brilliant job. What is it that children say "a billion out of ten". They had a problem near the end of the job but went straight ahead and solved it. Jamie explained everything as he went along. They are a fantastic team and would definitely recomend this company to other people. Such superstars.
