We handle everyday plumbing maintenance quickly and affordably, saving you the call-out fees of specialist plumbers for simple jobs. For bigger jobs or gas work, we'll recommend trusted local plumbers.

Common Questions About Plumbing
Do you replace the whole pipe or just the damaged bit?
Depends on the pipe condition. If it's a one-off freeze burst in otherwise good pipe, I'll just repair that section. If the pipe's old and corroded, I'll replace the whole run to save you having another burst in 6 months.
What's the difference between a shower screen and a shower enclosure?
A shower screen is usually a single panel (or hinged pair) that sits on your bath or shower tray. An enclosure is a full set of panels that creates a proper shower cubicle. Both do the same job - stop water going everywhere - just different setups.
How long will I be without heating?
Just for the swap - usually 2-3 hours for a straightforward replacement. The rest of your radiators work fine while I'm doing it. I can isolate just the one I'm working on.
Do undermount sinks cost more to fit than drop-in sinks?
Yes, bit more - they take longer because they have to be supported from underneath while the adhesive sets, and the edge sealing is more critical. Undermount looks cleaner though - no lip catching crumbs. I fit both types regularly.
Do I need to provide the shower rail?
Either way. If you've already bought one, I'll fit it. If not, I can pick up a decent mid-range rail from the local merchant - they're not expensive and I know which ones are good quality versus cheap rubbish that'll seize up.
Is the water meter my responsibility or the water company's?
The meter itself belongs to the water company. But the chamber and cover on your property is usually your responsibility to maintain. If you can't access it for readings, you'll get estimated bills (always higher than actual usage).
