We live in a C16 cottage where right angles are none existent. We have walls that move, goldfish bowl shaped floor, lime plaster and incredibly low ceilings. Oh, and any waste needs pumping out due to the levels all being out. We invited 3 local plumbers to discuss our bathroom ideas. Andy was the only plumber to take the time to really understand what we were looking for and gave considerable thought to making this a reality. He made some really useful suggestions and I'm really glad we had the sense to listen to him and be guided by his knowledge and expertise! Andy used a variety of suppliers that he had good relationships with to try and source the parts we we looking for and was happy to fit the more unusual bits we sourced ourself. Perhaps one of the most impressive feats he pulled off was getting a reputable manufacturer to make us a bespoke brushed brass enclosure, which ultimately ensuring the dream became a reality! He runs a tight ship! ....was always on time, and an added bonus, cheerful! He was also clean and tidy. His communication though-out was excellent. Even when I was faced with no heating, he coached me through the process of getting that going again on the phone which we were grateful for in sub zero temperatures! Because the work was not going to be straightforward an hourly rate was agreed and he worked really hard but thankfully always had time for lovely chats! (that we will really miss!) We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Andy and Drakes Plumbing. We have recommended him to friends and I know they have been equally delighted. Thank you Andy, we are so glad we found you and are hugely grateful you like a challenge and were more than up to the one we presented you with!

Used Andy when we were having our new kitchen installed. He also added an outdoor tap for us and installed our new toilet. Andy was tidy and professional throughout and would highly recommend. Have booked him in for our new shower installation now too.

Andy did some work for us recently which involved replacing outside taps and replacing/installing two electronic shower control units (Aqualisa). He was fantastic and had to work in cramped conditions in the loft for one of the shower units. Andy is punctual, keeps customers informed and has a great personality - it was a pleasure talking to him. He is now our 'go to' plumber.

I would highly recommend Andy Drake, a very friendly and efficient professional plumber. Not only did replace our toilet,bath and shower he also project managed the total bathroom refurbishment including plastering,wall tiling and flooring. An excellent job,on time and good value for money. As a result we will be using Andy for future jobs and I am more than happy to recommend him.

Andy came on time, recognised the problem and later that day fitted a new shower, excellent work. Due to this job I have employed him to fit my new bathroom.
