Good to Know
Pump life varies hugely depending on water quality and maintenance. Cheap pumps often fail quickly, while quality pumps can last years with proper care. We're happy to advise on reliable options that suit your budget. For pond pumps, autumn is a good time for replacement before winter.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of water pumps can you replace?
We replace pumps for garden ponds, water features, fountains, and small heating circulation pumps. This includes submersible and external pumps. For large heating system pumps or boiler work, we'd recommend a Gas Safe engineer.
How much does water pump replacement cost?
Most pump replacements cost £60 (under 1 hour) to £85 (up to 90 minutes). This is labour only - the pump itself is additional. We can source pumps or fit ones you've purchased.
Do I need to provide the replacement pump?
Either way works. You can purchase your own pump (we can advise on specifications), or we can source the right pump for you. We'll ensure proper sizing and compatibility for your system.
Can you handle the electrical connection?
Yes, we handle standard outdoor pump electrical connections. For hardwired installations or complex electrical work, we'll advise if a qualified electrician is needed for that part of the job.
