Common jobs: Burst or leaking pipe; Blocked sink, bath or toilet; Dripping tap or running toilet; New bathroom or kitchen install; Radiator fitting or replacement; Hot water cylinder swap; Power-flush of central heating.

FAQ
We score every published business on a combination of average customer rating and total review count, filtered through a 4.5★ minimum. The composite favours businesses with both high ratings AND a meaningful number of reviews — so a 5-star plumber with 3 reviews won't outrank a 4.9-star one with 200. No paid placements, no sponsorship.
Every quarter. If a business drops below 4.5★ or shuts down, they're removed and the next-best Paisley plumber moves up. Badges already earned remain valid — winning a 2026 Top 5 award doesn't get retroactively revoked.
