I am Ivan McIlhatton, a plumber based in Ballymoney, Northern Ireland. I have been working in the trade for over 40 years, serving homes and businesses right across the North Coast. Plumbing is what I know best.
I started out as a young apprentice and have spent my working life learning the trade inside and out. Over the decades I have built a reputation for honest, reliable work in Ballymoney, Coleraine, Portstewart, Portrush, Bushmills, and Ballycastle.
I work on my own, which means you speak to me directly, and I am the one who turns up at your door. There is no runaround and no waiting for callbacks. I aim to be straightforward, punctual, and fair with my pricing.
When I come to your home, I treat it with respect. I explain the problem clearly, fix it properly, and clean up before I leave. If you need a plumber you can rely on, I am happy to help.
