The Stockport Plumber Who Actually Picks Up the Phone

I started The Plumbing Detective because I wanted to offer something local homeowners weren't getting from bigger companies, a plumber who's straight with you, turns up when they say they will, and takes pride in the work.

Meet the Plumber

Sherry Kenyon, Your Local Stockport Plumber

I'm Sherry, and I've been working as a plumber in and around Stockport for a number of years. I set up The Plumbing Detective because I genuinely enjoy the problem-solving side of plumbing. Not just the fixing, but the finding out what's actually wrong.

Too many homeowners get a temporary patch-up that fails again six months later. My approach is to understand what caused the problem in the first place and fix it at the source, so you're not calling me, or anyone else, back for the same thing.

I cover Stockport and the surrounding towns. I work alone, which means when you call The Plumbing Detective, you always get me.

Built Up Through Real Jobs, Not Just Qualifications

Experience isn't just a number of years, it's what you learn on those jobs that other plumbers walk away from. Here's what that looks like for us.

Diagnostic Thinking

The name says it all. Most plumbing problems aren't isolated. There's usually a reason the pipe burst or the leak appeared. I take time to find that reason before I start work.

Hands-On Across All Plumbing Types

Domestic, light commercial, emergency call-outs, new installations. I've covered a wide range of work, which means very few jobs catch me off guard.

Checkatrade Vetted

Checkatrade membership isn't automatic. I went through ID checks, qualification checks, and customer review requirements to get listed and stay listed since February 2024.

Recommended by Local Residents

47 Google reviews at 5 stars. Most of my work comes through recommendations from people who've used me before, which I take as the best measure of how the job went.

What Good Work Looks Like to Us

Good plumbing isn't just about getting water to flow in the right direction. It's about doing a job that you won't need to undo in two years. I use quality materials, take the time the job needs, and don't cut corners because the last job ran over.

I also believe in leaving the place how I found it, or better. That means cleaning up properly, checking everything is working before I leave, and being available if a question comes up after I've gone.

  • Clear price agreed before work starts
  • Quality parts with no unnecessary upselling
  • Full tidy-up when the job is done
  • Happy to answer questions after the visit
  • Honest if a job is outside my expertise
