Our kitchen tap had packed up and the water had started seeping through the pipe which could have caused a major leak. I called Andrew over the weekend and he sent over one of his team members on Monday who came around as promised to identify and fixed our leak. He came in the appropriate PPE gear, was very friendly and made us feel at ease throughout. Identifying the leak was particularly tricky but Andrew’s colleague made swift work of it and was very tidy in the process. We really appreciate Andrew’s transparency around pricing and his time. Thanks for your help and the professional and reliable service.

Andrew and the team did a great job for a client of ours when called out on late notice. Our client was so pleased as they had struggled to get other plumbers to take their small job seriously and actually turn up. Heroes On Hand are the go-to if you want a reliable plumbing and heating team in and around London.
