"I was so impressed with Charlie's work. He came out on a Saturday, arrived on time and did an amazing job. He pays attention to detail, was really tidy and only left once he had checked all systems were working correctly. Highly recommended."
"We had a leak coming from the bathroom above. Despite another plumber trying to stop it, it continued. We contacted Charlie on a Friday evening and he was around Saturday morning. Within the first ten minutes he had located the problem and fabricated a fix on site. It was really quite impressive watching his quick problem solving. He is priced incredibly fairly and his number is now in our contacts. Don't waste your time shopping around, you won't find a better plumber."
"Charlie swapped out two ageing radiators for new ones and did an absolutely fantastic job. Such a friendly and genuine person. Would definitely recommend him!"
"When a property I owned suffered severe ceiling damage from defective plumbing I contacted Charlie from CG Plumbing. His response was speedy, professional, and to a high standard. The team was very considerate of the occupants — I could not be more pleased."
"Charlie was excellent. He got back to me quickly after I called. He came to see the job as soon as possible and told me exactly what needed doing. He was friendly and personable, giving me confidence. He said what he was going to do, and he did it — which is often not a characteristic of plumbers I've met before. I look forward to working with him in the future."
"Amazing service. Got the job done in a timely manner with no mess or fuss. Great guy. Only plumber I would consider using in our local area."
"Very pleased with Charlie's work — he's a very polite and helpful guy. Good workmanship throughout."
