See our approvals →AngusPLUMBING is run by Paul and Angus — both trained at Reading College Plumbing School, where Paul graduated top of his year and Angus in the top 10% of his. What sets the firm apart isn't a slogan: it holds the two endorsements that matter most for water work, and holds both at once. It is WaterSafe approved and Thames Water approved and recommended — described as the only plumber in Caversham and Reading to carry both.
On top of that come CIPHE membership (the Chartered Institute of Plumbing & Heating Engineers), Water Regs UK certification (formerly WRAS), and G3 qualification for unvented hot-water cylinders. It means every job — from a dripping tap to a Megaflow service — is done by people the water authority itself trusts to work on the supply. And when it can't wait, the phone is answered 24 hours a day.

An emergency cloggage, sorted the next morning

A leak through the ceiling, sealed leak-proof
“Paul from Angus Plumbing was absolutely lovely. He came round promptly, assessed the leak coming through our ceiling, and fixed it with no hidden costs. He quickly spotted the problem, sealed the outside of the shower with silicone, and now it's completely leak-proof.”
