  • I cannot recommend WPS highly enough; they were extremely professional from start to finish. From the initial quotation, to suggesting suitable bathroom products and ideas, and then finally fitting our suites; they were efficient, friendly and competitively priced. I would not hesitate to use them again.

    Jackie’s News of Tenterden

  • WPS have carried out a number of plumbing jobs for me at home plus a number of plumbing repairs and maintenance at our busy butchers business in Cranbrook. I have always found they provide a very professional and thorough service and would not hesitate in recommending WPS to anyone that wanted a good reliable plumbing company.

    Mr. M Wilkes, Wilkes Butchers, Cranbrook

  • We asked Westview Plumbing to work with us to replace a large bathroom in an older property we had bought. Luke visited us and gave valuable advice on planning and selection of items for the bathroom, giving options, establishing a clear understanding of our needs.
    A number of unforeseen issues arose once the team were on site, including the fact the old bath had been concreted in and gaps in floor and wall tile areas, Luke took this in his stride and found a solution to all the issues and we ended up with a great new bathroom with a minimum of fuss or stress.
    We would totally recommend Luke and the team from WPS, who supply a really good hassle free customer focussed service from beginning to end.

    Mr. T. Bothfield
