Our work
Real jobs. Real photographs.
Every write-up below is a job First Plumbing actually did, told through the customer's own Google review. The gallery underneath is the company's own photographs — not stock pictures of somebody else's bathroom.
Write-ups
Four jobs, four customers, their words.
Four real jobs, written up from the customers' own Google reviews and quoted verbatim. The photographs beside them are First Plumbing's own, taken from the company's Google Business Profile.
Two bathrooms, back to back
The situation — Doing one bathroom is a test of workmanship. Doing a second one for the same customer is a test of everything else — turning up when you said, keeping the house liveable while the only shower is out of action, and being straightforward about what changed and why.
What happened — Indrit took both rooms through from strip-out to final connections. What the customer chose to single out afterwards was not the tiling or the suite but the way the job was run: accommodating, helpful, and easy to have in the house.
“Indrit has done a beautiful job on both of my bathrooms... without doubt he has been one of the most accommodating and helpful contractors I have had working on my home.”

Central heating in a house that had none
The situation — Installing central heating from scratch is a different job from swapping a boiler. Pipework has to be planned through a house that was never built for it, radiators sized room by room, floors lifted and put back, and the whole thing has to be finished — not left as a building site with one warm room.
What happened — The system went in complete, and it went in fast. The customer's emphasis was on the timescale as much as the work: done professionally, promptly, and at very short notice, which for a one-man company means the diary was rearranged to make it happen.
“Very grateful to Indrit for installing a complete central heating system from scratch in my house. Work was done professionally, promptly and at very short notice.”

A tap repair, and the problem nobody had spotted
The situation — Most plumbing call-outs are booked for the fault you can see. The one you cannot see is usually older, quieter and more expensive — and it is entirely possible to fix the tap, take the money and say nothing about it.
What happened — Indrit fixed the tap, then pointed out a second problem the customer did not know existed, and fixed that too. It is a small story and it is the most useful one on this page: it tells you what happens in the ten minutes when nobody is watching.
“Endrith fixed my tap problem, and then pointed out another problem that I didn't know about. He fixed that also.”

A bottom-entry fill valve, replaced cleanly
The situation — A failing fill valve is the sort of job that is either twenty minutes or a very long afternoon, depending on how the cistern was plumbed in and what comes apart when you touch it. It is also the sort of job where a plumber tramping through a bathroom leaves more mess than the fault did.
What happened — The valve was replaced and the customer's three words for how it went were communicative, efficient and tidy — which is, more or less, the entire brief for small domestic plumbing work.
“Had an issue with the Bottom Entry Fill Valve. Needed replacing. First Plumbing were communicative, efficient and tidy.”

Gallery
Ten photographs of our own work.
A note on these photographs — These are First Plumbing's own photographs of completed and in-progress work, taken from the company's Google Business Profile — not stock images. They are shown here at full size because a gallery of ten real jobs says more about a plumber than any badge.
A walk-in shower with a low-profile tray and glass screen, marble-effect tiling and a white vanity unit — a full bathroom fit from first fix to final connections.
A close-coupled WC set against green herringbone tiling — new suite, new supply and waste connections, everything left square and sealed.
A stone-tiled shower room with a wall-hung basin unit and a rimless WC — the sort of refurbishment where the pipework has to be planned before a single tile is set out.
A brass-framed sliding shower enclosure, counter-top basin on a grey vanity and hexagonal floor tiles — a compact room planned so every centimetre earns its place.
A bath with a thermostatic shower over it, textured wall finish and a basin mounted above the radiator — bathroom plumbing fitted around an awkward existing layout.
An unvented hot water cylinder installed with a new expansion vessel and copper pipework — clipped, square and labelled, the way a cupboard should look when it is finished.
A manifold wall of copper and isolation valves under construction — every outlet individually isolated so a future repair never means draining the whole house.
Heating pipework and air separators in a first-floor plant cupboard, with the wiring centre alongside — the unglamorous half of a central heating installation.
A booster pump set and cold water storage tank with new copper mains pipework — the fix for a property where pressure upstairs was never right.
A kitchen sink and mixer tap plumbed into a new worktop — supply and waste re-run to suit the units rather than the other way round.
