Dave fixed my bath as it was leaking water everywhere from the tap. Very quick to arrive, diagnose issue and stop the leak, also to explain what had happened. Quick to order part and return to fix the bath, worked perfectly since. So much better priced than other companies. Would highly recommend, and the only plumber I would use.Sophie, Clapham

David completed a full repair of our bathroom after a hidden leak had caused extensive damage. The work he completed included: - promptly fixing the leak's source - removing all the bathroom units - replacing the rotten floorboards - rebuilding and tiling the floor - removing old pipework - refitting the bath, sink and installing a new shower unit - tiling the walls after waiting some time for them to completely dry out - fitting a new toilet - replacing the skirting board - writing a detailed report for our insurers David gave clear and accurate quotes and timetables, which he stuck to, kept the disruption to a minimum, and gave very useful advice in redesigning our bathroom. The workmanship was high quality, with a great finish. Very considerate and diligent. Highly recommend.Gareth, Sydenham, SE26

I had a problem with my bath draining. I had already called in 2 plumbers – a local plumber and a national company who specialise in clearing drains. Neither of them were willing to tackle the root of the problem as access was difficult and involved removing a wooden panel sent into a limestone surround. David Hoar, who specialises in carpentry as well as plumbing, said no problem. Not only did he source the problem and replace the faulty pipework but he also sourced a brand new piece of bath panel to replace the existing worn laminated wood. He was absolutely charming and highly professional, there was no mess and the end finish was seamless and left my bathroom looking better than it had done originally.Guy, Bromley

After 6 years of a leaking shower due to bad plumbing in our brand new home, David Hoar has finally put it all right! Thank you. He was in our home for a full 3 days and did an excellent job replacing all the pipe work, installing new Trevi shower units and re-tiling each shower. He scarcely stopped all day, working well after finishing time so as to ensure the work was completed as quickly as possible to eliminate our inconvenience. Excellent job. Thank you.Diane, Paddington

A couple of unfortunate leaks in the domestic plumbing at this flat has necessitated emergency out of hours calls, followed by visits to put right the problems. The second visit was today and involved fitting a new toilet. I wanted to write to say how much we appreciate your efficiency and courtesy. The work was done promptly, with little fuss and with consideration. Thank you. It is usually in order to complain that I find myself writing to contractors these days. I am glad to be writing to express my thanks for a change.Clive, SW1V

I want to write this letter to express very special thanks for the work David Hoar has just done here. It was done with great care and thoughtfulness and thoroughness – a joy to see. Coupled with our pleasure at his company, there is only one word to describe him and his work – perfection.Darrell, SW3

Just to thank you for the recent installation at our house. We had a new sink fitted and a cupboard built around it. This was a particularly difficult job as everything had to fit into the existing, confined area. The workmanship was first rate – it looks great – and we very much appreciate the tidying up afterwards. It's great to know you can still get a real craftsman!Paul & Sharon, London

Used David Hoar for various small bits of work but needed more substantial work done. Without hesitation called him again. The job took a full day, we expected it to take 2, and was finished exactly as we had wanted. We can't recommend David highly enough.Derek, SE1

While it was unfortunate that we required the services of a plumber , we had the good fortune of having Mr Hoar carry out the work. He is everything a good tradesman should be – knowledgeable, helpful, courteous and inventive. His attitude to us as his customers and his attention to finding a solution to our problem were first rate.Suzanne, Chiswick

I want to commend the work of David Hoar, who has now done 3 jobs for us. He's an amazing asset. David's work has always been top quality. The last job he really pulled out all the stops. He managed to do a really neat piece of work on our gutters together with some repairs to damage to our building caused by the gutter problem. I had many other people quote the job and walk away as it looked too complex. Not David, he came up with three options, discussed those with me and we agreed on a preferred route. He then got on doing his usual quality work. He needs to know that the work looks great and it works – last downpour our roof managed to drain without any problem. Well done as it's not often that one has the chance to commend good service.Richard, London N2

I would just like to say how delighted I was with the recent service provided by David Hoar. He is a superb engineer who visited 40 minutes after the call, the service was seamless, polite, competent and professional. Peter, London

I wanted to email and to say thank you and write a glowing report on David Hoar. He came to my flat yesterday and was a fantastic ambassador for the company. I want to commend him on how professional, helpful and thorough he was. He did a cracking job.Chris, W2
