Shower room makeover

Hello! Apologies that we haven’t posted much - we’ve been really busy here at Proactive Plumbing HQ so we thought it was about time we shared some photos of the work we’ve carried out over the past few months (perhaps the last year?!). This is an en suite that we finished last year - what do you think? If you’re intersted in a bathroom upgrade please do get in touch with us (you can email us at stu@proactiveplumbingsolutions.co.uk or call 01242 300173 / 07835107651).

"Stu was recommended to us after trying to find a reliable and professional plumber for some time. And we weren’t disappointed! From his first visit, to sending his quotes and on to the final work, he was always on time and got the work done to a very high standard. He always treated our home like his own, with no mess – in fact he hoovered every day! Stu also had to reconfigure our bathroom, dismantling the raised platform for our old bath and removing floor and wall tiles. All the waste materials were always neatly stacked for us to dispose of which made life so much easier.  Stu has given us faith in trades again, We couldn’t recommend him enough!  Thank you Stu!"

"We were very pleased with Stu's work.  He provided good advice, obtained trade prices for the tiles, and was very punctual.  A hard worker, he continued over the bank holiday Monday to get the job finished.  Stu was also a most courteous and unobtrusive worker and went out of his way to avoid disturbing the house occupants.  Scrupulously tidy and multi-skilled, he was diligent in protecting the carpets and other fittings in the house and he was a real pleasure to have around.  We would certainly recommend him for similar jobs, provided we can have him back for our next one!  Ray and Sarah, proud new shower owners."

"Just have to say a belated but huge thank you to Stuart for convincing me that you can find a reliable, honest, talented and genuine plumber who is a joy to deal with. After quoting for a new shower room in our Cheltenham property he spent long hours working extremely hard to produce an incredible end-result at a very competitive price. Am delighted to have met him and will certainly use Proactive Plumbing again without hesitation."
Nic, Cheltenham
"I can thoroughly recommend Stu Woolley at Proactive Plumbing Solutions.  Stu was prompt to reply to my email query, he attended when he said he would, and also did a great repair job there and then for a very reasonable price.  Will definitely use again and have no hesitation in recommending this very pleasant young man." 
Anne, Gotherington
"Stu is really good at what he does and I can't speak highly enough of him; Great guy who is really tidy, efficient, reasonable rates and explains everything as he goes along.  The en-suite looks amazing and just so thrilled with it."
Marion, Bishop’s Cleeve [Click here to see the job]
"Just thought I would message you to tell you what a fantastic job Stu has done on my bathroom! I am really impressed with his attention to detail. He works incredibly hard."
Christine, Cheltenham

Do you have a budding plumber in your family?

Recently we came across the book "My Mummy is a Plumber". As we've got a couple of keen mini builders in our midst we were intrigued!

Written by brother and sister team Kerrine and Jason Bryan, and published last November, it is the second in a series of books aimed at promoting skills to young children.

The publication comes at a time when there's a noted skills shortage so promoting plumbing as a valued career choice to both young boys and girls is a wonderful idea.

"Kerrine Bryan, the founder of Butterfly Books, has a background in engineering and is a STEM ambassador. She realised that as children we are simply just not made aware of what life truly has to offer in the workplace, regardless of gender." (Jason Bryan, Butterfly Books)

Many thanks to Kerrine for letting us use the images, they're fantastic too!
