Cale Vincent
They replaced the outside spigot. He gave me a price before he started. He recommended replacing part of the line just into the house and how it fits together (I'm not much of a plumber, sorry). The price was just what he said. They cleaned up and were very efficient. This is a husband and wife team and the work great together.

Awful experience , he fitted a boiler that he never registered the warranty for. He never fitted the pressure release valve & he also left us without hot water for 3 weeks. By then we had to get another experienced plumber out to fix and said what a cowboy job had been done. Also considering we had young and vulnerable people living here!

The gentleman plumber and his lovely assistant managed to unstick a stuck cartridge and walked me through getting the correct part for my rather unusual shower. What would have taken me days assuming I could do it at all, they did in about an hour, and for a very reasonable price. Very happy!

Thomas provides an excellent reliable and trustworthy service. His work is of the highest standard and I always recommend Taps and Traps to family and friends. I feel very blessed to have found such a great plumber who is also a wonderful gentleman.

I have to say, this was the worse experience I have had in employing a plumber. Reading the reviews,which I now have my suspicions about, I thought I was on to a good thing. Could not have gone worse. Came and went as pleased, not sure he knew what he was doing half the time. Keep an eye on him, it may look good from the outside,but behind the detail is where it all counts. For somebody who claims to have so many years of experience,I beg to differ.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know you’re properly qualified and certified to install heat pumps?
We are MCS‑certified and registered with an approved consumer protection/competent person scheme, which is essential for quality assurance and to access grants like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS).
Can you tell me if a heat pump is actually suitable for my home?
We carry out a detailed home assessment, including property type, insulation levels, existing heating system and available outdoor space, to confirm whether a heat pump is a good fit.
What type and size of heat pump will you recommend for my property, and why?
We design the system using a heat‑loss calculation for your home, then match the correct kW size and model (for example, air‑source vs ground‑source) so it runs efficiently and reliably.
What will the full installation cost be, and what’s included in your quote?
Our fixed quote clearly lists the heat pump, cylinder, controls, labour, scaffolding (if needed), electrical work and any radiator or pipework upgrades, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Can you help me access government grants like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
Yes, as an MCS installer we can confirm your eligibility, apply for the BUS grant (worth up to £7,500) on your behalf and deduct it directly from your quote.
How much disruption should I expect during installation, and how long does it take?
A typical air‑source heat pump installation takes around 2–5 days, and we’ll agree locations for the indoor and outdoor units, manage any planning considerations and keep you informed each day.
Will I need to replace my radiators or upgrade anything else in my home?
After the heat‑loss survey, we’ll advise if any radiators, pipework, electrics or hot‑water cylinder need upgrading so the system can run efficiently at lower flow temperatures.
How noisy is the outdoor unit and where will it be installed?
Modern heat pumps are designed to be quiet and must meet UK noise regulations; we’ll position the unit to minimise any impact on you and your neighbours and comply with local planning rules.
What warranties, servicing and aftercare do you provide?
You’ll get manufacturer warranties on the heat pump plus our workmanship guarantee, and we offer ongoing servicing and support to keep your system performing at its best.
What running costs and savings can I realistically expect compared to my current boiler?
We’ll estimate your likely annual running costs and potential savings based on your current fuel type, insulation level and tariffs, using real‑world performance data rather than lab figures.
