Report
We found a leak in the airing cupboard from the hot water tank. We contacted Chris and he popped in that evening to look at the problem. Thanks to Chris we now have a new tank, which was fitted very quickly. He was pleasant, professional, clean and tidy. He told me what needed doing and why. He even got in touch the next day to ensure that I was happy, before sending the invoice. I will be using Walterworks again and recommending him to friends. I am already considering him for a kitchen installation!!

We have used Chris for many years and would thoroughly recommend him. Professional, always on time and on hand for the odd emergency call out. We never need to worry about remembering when our boiler is due for a service, Chris always makes contact with us on annual basis to join us in.

Chris at Walter Plumbing has serviced my boiler since I moved into my house 6 years ago. He has also come out to check the boiler when I had concerns about it. I would definitely recommend Walter Plumbing as a good, reliable and trustworthy company.
