“Phillippe mended our boiler when others had failed!
We had already had visits from several other plumbers who couldn t work out what was wrong with our 5 year old boiler. Phillippe ordered the right part and installed it the next day. Our outside tap is now perfect and our kitchen tap had a new cartridge installed instead of having to buy a whole new tap. We are delighted and wish we had found him years ago! He is very polite, honest and friendly.”

Had toilet cistern fault which he sorted out same day, and boiler fault for which he ordered a part, which was fitted the day after. So far everything running fine.”
“Trustworthy, tidy and thorough
Philippe is a very considerate tradesman, removing shoes and laying dust sheets on his route through the house as well as using his industrial vacuum as he works. We have seen Philippe s electrical work as well as his plumbing and both are of a high standard and very tidy; it is always easy to see what has been done and what we need to do next (if anything). His attention to detail is obvious. Philippe s advice is clear during the quote phase but we consider that we are listened to, and we find no surprises on the day. Paperwork is understandable and itemised where relevant. We trust Philippe and have left him alone in the house (he has even taken in parcels for us!). We like Philippe and will certainly be using him for our next job.”
“We have had a bathroom changed to a shower room by philippe,his work and cleanliness was superb,we went away for 8days left him with the key and came back to a wonderful transformation.his standards are the ones everyone else must follow,we highly recommend him.”

“Time flies, another annual boiler service! I've known Philippe since 2001 when he came and installed a new domestic gas boiler. I was impressed then by the care and attention to detail, making sure that the customer got excellent quality, service and a good job done. Since then I have had my boiler updated and serviced regularly by Phillipe. I've always found Philippe to be honest, reliable and trustworthy. I just wouldn't consider going anywhere else, if you want a good job done properly then I can throughly recommend Philippe.”

We are very happy with the results, Philippe’s attention to detail is admirable, quality of work faultless. He is incredibly clean and tidy while working and despite challenging conditions completed the work on time and beyond our expectations.
Would not hesitate to use Philippe’s services in the future and would 100% recommend.
Many thanks”

“First Class, would recommend Philippe without hesitation. His works included the removal of a complete gas central heating system, installation of a new consumer unit, installation of new electric radiator heating system and first fix works for our kitchen. All work was completed to a very high standard. Philippe is very meticulous and has risen to the many challenges that our home has presented to him. He has worked for us on 4 separate occasions and we have already arranged for him to come back and complete more work for us.”

“If you need some plumbing & electrical work done, look no further. Philippe is very reliable, honest, tidy, organised and provides excellent workmanship, without any swearing!! My new bathroom was fully fitted by Philippe and looks fantastic: his attention to detail is amazing. He removed everything and dealt with the lot, plumbing, electrics, joinery and flooring, which meant the whole experience was stress-free. The staircase was thoroughly protected to keep out dust and prevent any damage. As a woman on my own, I always felt at ease. Finally, you get what you pay for, as they say! He isn't the cheapest but will give you complete peace of mind. I highly recommend him: Philippe is truly one of a kind.”

Always communicates clearly and thoroughly. Philippe is a pleasure to have around. He's the best in the bay and, if you're fortunate to secure him for a job, you've made a very wise choice.”

“Philippe Couve has worked with me on a large house renovation project installing two complete new central heating systems and all new plumbing and gas for the four bedroomed house and annex. That is, two kitchens and gas cookers, three bathrooms and a utility room and loo. He has been very proficient and all the work has been neatly and well done. He has been an invaluable asset and I highly recommend him. He has been a pleasure to work with.
Many thanks. Rick Jenkins”
