There is no official "best plumber", and anyone claiming a crown should make you cautious. What you can actually judge is simple and public: is the engineer Gas Safe registered, is there a real, verifiable review record rather than a handful of testimonials, and does the person who quotes the job actually turn up to do it. Those three tests filter out most of the field quickly.
LMB Plumbing & Heating scores on all three. It holds 207 Google reviews at a straight 5.0, every one public. It is owner-led by Lloyd Bargery, a Gas Safe registered engineer, so the person with the 5.0 rating is the one in your home, not a subcontractor off a rota. And it is genuinely local, working Newton, Nottage and Rest Bay and the streets of Porthcawl itself, which is why the next customer is so often a neighbour of the last.

Across Porthcawl and Newton, Nottage and Rest Bay, LMB handles leaks and burst pipes, taps and toilets, outside taps, radiators, ball valves and general plumbing. It is domestic work done properly, with a fixed price agreed before anything starts and no pressure selling.
How to get a straight answer
The quickest way to know if LMB is right for your job is to ask. Message Lloyd on WhatsApp with what you need and roughly where you are in Porthcawl, and you get a real reply from the engineer himself, not a call centre.
