“After not receiving any replies back from other plumbers (6 of them!) Wesley came to our rescue. Three urinals, cistern and pipework in the works toilets needed replacing. Wesley soon came back with a reasonable price to supply & fit and did the work 2 weeks later. He did a sterling job, completed it in 1 day and took it upon himself to replace the u-bend traps with those being easier to remove if need be. At the end of the day he went through all what he did and explained the workings of the new suite. One thing we were impressed by, even before the work started, was his positivity, professional attitude, his helpfulness and communication. We will certainly call on him again and would advise anyone needing a plumber not to hesitate in giving him a call...he really is so helpful as well as being a great guy to deal with!”

“I recently had the pleasure of taking plumbing service from Usman to change my kitchen tap, and I couldn't be more impressed with the service! From the moment he arrived, he was punctual, professional, and extremely polite. His attention to detail was spot-on, and he made sure everything was done perfectly. Not only did he complete the job efficiently, but he also took the time to explain everything to me, which I really appreciated. On top of all that, his pricing was very reasonable for the high-quality work he provided. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of plumbing services – you won’t be disappointed!”

“I had previously taken my car into a repair shop to address a problem with rust appearing adjacent the rear wheel arch. It was "repaired" and about 6 weeks later blisters appeared. It was returned and re-repaired (I was told they had not treated a wide enough area) and about 6 weeks later even more blistering appeared. I arranged for Jay to examine and quote for the necessary remedial work. He was able to instantly explain that the problem was caused by the fact that the panelling was double walled where it was rusting and the repairs had not been successful because the metal was rusting through from the back and needed to be cut out and replaced, the void filled with a rust proofing treatment and the new section resprayed. When I collected the car, I was shown photographs to illustrate the problem and the remedial work that had been carried out. Not only that, I was given the section of the panel that had been removed and it was very obviously rusting through from the back and that was why the original work was a total waste of time and my money. Jay advised that he had also sprayed Waxoyl in the wheel arch cavity on the other side of the vehicle to help prevent any similar problem developing. I was impressed with the detailed explanation given why the work was required and how it was to be carried out, the photograph evidence provided to show what had actually been done and the fact that the rusted cut out part was kept for inspection. The paint finish was to a very high standard. I feel Jay is very knowledgeable, committed to carrying out work to a very high standard at a reasonable price and is also a very pleasant person to deal with. I feel confident to recommend Jays Autobody Repairs.”

“I contacted the Automotive expert on a friday at 2 pm to ask for help. My ignition barrel had seized and the car wouldn't turn off for almost 20 minutes until I managed to turn it. So essentially the car was stuck and I couldn't go anywhere. I was contacted back about half hour later to say they have the parts and if they couldn't get to me that day they'd be out the following morning with a courtesy call before had to let me know they were on the way. Saturday 11am phone call and about half hour later they arrived. Very professional and quick. Sorted the job out. A warning light came on the dash. Investigated to make sure nothing was wrong. Quick test drive later light out car fixed. So grateful for such a quick turn around. I thought I could be without a car for weeks. Thank you again.”
