Connor did a brilliant job, came over very quick when our hot water wasn't working and got it fixed. Would definitely recommend.

Hot Water Repair
Great service. Had a new water heater and new taps fitted by Connor. High standard, friendly and a fair price. Would definitely recommend.

Water Heater & Taps · Upminster, Essex
I couldn't be happier with the service I received. Four new radiators installed at a great price, and the entire job completed in just one day. Everything was left clean and tidy and all the radiators were working perfectly before they left. Excellent value for money and clearly takes pride in their work.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Connor from Plumbers.ESX. He fitted a new boiler for us and has serviced it since. He is reliable and trustworthy and we couldn't be happier with the work he has done for us.
