It is extremely rare these days to find a highly skilled professional who also cares for his craft and his customer, treating the job as if he's doing it for himself.
Alex is all of that and more. After working with him I cannot imagine going with anyone else. The only problem is I can't give him 6/5.
Great experience from booking to having the service done. Alex is very friendly and gave me a lot of advice about other things around the house. He was very knowledgeable and explain things to me. They were also the most affordable and I’m glad I went with them!

It was a pleasure dealing with Blue Whale. They responded quickly to my initial enquiry about fitting a new shower, and Alex who carried out the job is a lovely guy. He did a great job and the new shower works like a dream. What more can I say? I'll definitely use them again and recommend them to friends.

Thank you, V M! We’re thrilled to hear Alex provided such thorough and informative service. Your feedback means a lot, and we’re glad we could help with your boiler. Let us know if you need anything in the future!
Excellent service. Would highly recommend Blue Whale Plumbing. Just a couple of hours after submitting an enquiry form arrangements had been made for Alex to come and look at my immersion heater to diagnose the problem. Alex was able to re-visit and carry out the work necessary very quickly! I will certainly be using Alex for any plumbing matters in the future. Thanks again!

Thank you for your review! We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to assisting you with any future plumbing and heating needs.
Alex is an excellent plumber and it’s been great having him do some work in our home. He really goes the extra mile and is super neat and tidy. He’s extremely thorough and explains everything very patiently and easily.
We’ve now got a super slick wireless heating system and the radiators are in the right place. It feels good to work with a local tradesman who really goes the extra mile to ensure things are just right. Special shout out to Jodie who organises timings and billing, thank you for being so organised and helpful.

Thank you for the fantastic review! We're delighted to hear Alex at Blue Whale Plumbing and Heating provided such excellent service and exceeded your expectations. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we look forward to helping you again in the future.
Blue Whale are great. Alex is probably the most knowledgeable plumber we have ever met in 50+ years of needing plumbing support. And he is so friendly and responsive. A joy to work with.
He came out over a weekend to help us when our gas boiler broke down and he knew in detail how our 7 year old boiler worked and how to fix it. And he was meticulous in everything he did and left no mess.

We contacted Alex to replace a shower after reading his reviews and noting he was local to us. He was great to deal with, polite and prompt, did a brilliant job and left the place clean and tidy. Highly recommend

Thank you, Madeline! We're happy that you received a great gas boiler service. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we’re always here to help whenever you need.
The service I received from both Alex and Jodie was excellent. I contacted them about an ongoing leak that I had in my shower in an en-suite that had got in behand the tiles and damaged the plasterboard. In quick succession, Alex visited to assess the issue and provide an explanation of all of the options available and provided a quote with several options shortly after the visit. In the end, due to the damage and the age of the shower, I decided to go with a complete new shower fitting (valve, tiles, tray etc.).
Alex provided a very professional service over the three days it took to complete the fitting. The en-suite and the routes in and out of my property were fully covered so that no mess was left. Alex was friendly, approachable and explained everything he was doing during every major stage of the fitting and most importantly for a tradesman, he turned up when he said he would turn up. The result was a high quality fitting that looks amazing. I am very happy with the result and will be booking Blue Whale Plumbing for future jobs.

Messaged in the evening and first thing in the morning Alex was at the door. Resolved the issue quickly and explained us how to avoid having the same issues in the future.
Have used their services a few times now and I have no hesitation in recommending to anyone who needs plumbing & heating services.

Thank you for your kind words! We're glad you found our local plumbing and heating service quick and reasonably priced.
Alex has carried out several plumbing works for us, including fixing a burst pipe and running replacement pipework. Most recently he renovated our main bathroom. We are very happy with the result. Communication from Alex and Jodie was great before and throughout the works, and they made sure everything ran to schedule despite fitting in some extras for us. They gave us helpful advice on layout and choice of products as well as fitting. Alex is extremely knowledgeable and took a lot of care, looking after our house and cleaning up before he left every day. The finished bathroom was spotless (I think he left the windows cleaner than before he started!). Prices are very reasonable and transparent - no nasty surprises.

Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate it! We're glad to hear you found our local plumbing and heating company helpful and that you plan to use our services again.
Alex moved a radiator for me which was great as he switched one from one room to another, and moved in along the wall. He saved me money! Alex was efficient, knowledgeable, friendly, turned up when he said he would! (Always a plus!) He tidied up after his work. Faultless! I’m going to get Alex back to change to TRV’s at some point, I highly recommend him. Jodie, who I booked it through was lovely too. A great team. Thanks and I’ll see you soon!
