We would highly recommend Richard
We would highly recommend Richard. He fixed our heating after one of our radiators had fallen off the wall causing a leak. The leak was in an awkward place but he managed to fix it with no fuss. The price was very good and Richard is very trustworthy. I would definitely use him again in the future.
Richard is polite and did everything…
Richard is polite and did everything efficiently without any mess. He turned up when said he would, left everything clean and tidy. I would recommend him without hesitation.
Professional and meticulous
Richard did a great job of revamping both my ensuite and the bathroom shower. We are really pleased with the result. Richard is clearly a perfectionist; he is professional, hard-working, punctual and has a friendly, calm manner. He didn't even mind my constantly barking spaniel. Thank you so much. We would recommend Richard without hesitation.
Super reliable and experienced
Rich is great, he’s super reliable and can fix anything. From leaky rads to full bathroom fittings and even building work, no job is too much. If you want a plumbing job done right you can’t do better. A great find and so good to know he’s local!
The Devon Plumber is simply the best.
The Devon Plumber is simply the best.
Richard was a real find. He has refitted both my bathrooms including new floors, walls, tiling, showers, toilets, basins and heating to a very high standard and I am really pleased.
His cheerful, reassuring calmness, problem solving approach and attention to detail along with perfect time keeping and tidiness made it all seem easy.
You won’t find anyone better!

Great communication and our job was booked in and completed in a short time.
Richard was brilliant with explaining what the trouble was with our boiler and promptly came back to fix it once he had the parts. Will definitely be using him for all our plumbing and boiler needs! Highly recommend.
We inherited a tricky heating system…
We inherited a tricky heating system which has caused various headaches over the years. Richard was recommended by a friend and when I called him out of the blue one evening he immediately talked through what he thought the issue could be and various things to try there and then. When he visited the property to flush the system he was helpful, professional and explained everything in a straight forward and considerate way. Much to my relief the system was back up and running within the day and we have found someone who I would not hesitate in recommending and will absolutely call on next time! Thank you Richard!
Shower Room Upgrade
We were very impressed with Richard’s professionalism from the beginning.
Our shower required an upgrade and Richard suggested ideas and researched prices on our behalf before giving a detailed breakdown of options available. He carried out the re-tiling to perfection and took time to keep us informed as the work progressed.
Richard arrived on time and finished the job by making sure everything was working correctly before he left. Richard will be our first choice should we require any further plumbing/heating work in the future and we have no hesitation in recommending him.
Richard is an excellent plumbing…
Richard is an excellent plumbing engineer. He explains complicated issues and comes up with solutions not problems. He is prompt,efficient and incredibly tidy. Our new boiler is amazing and I would recommend the Devon Plumber whole heartedly.
Quick and efficient work
Richard has been amazing for the two jobs he has done for us. He responds very quickly to requests and has been able to attend the house to look at the problem in a very timely way. Very efficient, excellent work ethic would highly recommend him.
Boiler replacement
My dying boiler finally gave up over the Christmas period and I found The Devon Plumber through personal recommendations.
Rich was reliable, quick and took the time to make sure I was happy and understood everything that I needed to. He was honest about what needed doing (AND what didn't!) and left the place clean and tidy.
I have no hesitation in recommending The Devon Plumber for anyone who needs a heating and gas specialist.
Need a new boiler? Contact Rich - you will not be disappointed
I have no hesitation in recommending Rich if you need a new boiler. He arrived when he said he would, and made an excellent job of replacing our old boiler in a competent and professional manner. He left the work area clean and tidy on both days and provided a gas safe certificate once the work had been completed.
A superstar
A superstar! Very quick to reply and book a time. Rich is lovely and got the job done quick - especially over the Christmas period. Cannot recommend enough.
Highly recommend.
Excellent communication and responses. Arranged a date and time and arrived on the dot. We had a larger BTU radiator fitted and the work was quick and clean, Rich did a fantastic job. We would highly recommend and will definately contact Rich again when we need other plumbing jobs done.
Great service quick and helpful
Highly recommended
Rich was perfect. Really clear communication when I sent in the enquiry and got booked in pretty quickly.
Really efficient work to fix our problem and kept us informed the whole way through. Left the bathroom spotlessly clean.
Highly recommended and would 100% book Rich again.
I need a new bathroom.Who do I get????
I needed a new bathroom. I had no idea who to do it for me. Thankfully for me Devon Tiles recommended Richard. I had to wait a few months. I was so happy I did. I could not fault the work done. I now have a fantastic bathroom. Richard worked hard as old bathroom was a mess. All the rubbish was cleared away. I found Richard to be a very pleasant professional person. I was also happy to leave him in my house to work while I was out.
I would therefore have no hesitation in recommending Richard for any plumbing work you might need. He clearly is a very experienced plumber.
Thank you Richard for a job well done.
