    "I Site manage two schools in Bushey, Watford. I always use R Sims to complete the work for us. He is 100% reliable, punctual & extremely professional in his work. During the summer holidays Bob replaced a toilet cistern, replaced taps, plumbed in a toilet & replaced TMV valves. We highly recommend him at the school."

    "Bob Sims replaced an old lavatory bowl and cistern which had developed a leak with a new one. He came exactly on time, and did the work efficiently, and we had some very pleasant discussions along the way. What more could one want."

    "Have a little toilet in a little room at the back of the house, effectively an outside toilet, handy when gardening or outside. Appeared to continue to fill up when flushed and floor wet even in a heatwave, Mr Sims contacted, viewed photos and advised we thought that ballcock section maybe at fault and other areas of toilet were also wet. Mr Sims arrived on time agreed next morning, advised our diagnosis was correct and that toilet did have another leak hence occasional wetting of floor over the years. This was due to the loo never having a flush cone fitted. Both issues repaired, no mess, no fuss, just need to wait for floor to dry out. All done within two hours. We would highly recommend Mr Sims for your plumbing needs. Take some photos, send them across to him and he'll take it from there with his knowledge and experience, happy plumbing problem solving all."

    Trader reply: "Hi Mrs Godfrey, thank you for the work on your outside toilet & also your great review. Much appreciated, have a great evening. Many thanks, Bob"
