About Brett
A real plumber. Picks up his own phone.
Brett is a fully certified, fully insured plumber based at 153 Havant Road on Hayling Island. He has 7 years on the plumbing tools and 15 years in the wider construction trade behind that, so jobs that touch tiling, sealing, decorating, and bathroom fit-out are all comfortable territory.
When you ring, Brett answers. No call centre, no booking system, no “an engineer will be assigned”. Just the bloke who's coming to do the work, talking through what's gone wrong and what it'll take to fix.
He moved to Hayling Island over six years ago with his partner and his daughter Lily, and most of his work comes from people on the Island and around Portsmouth recommending him to their neighbours.
