Please be kind to us at this busy time of year. Only book appointments with us if you intend on being home when we call or if you've had the work done, please have the courtesy to let us know before we show up!
We now only have availability in December for heating and gas emergencies before xmas, but have plenty of availability for your plumbing needs in November, and December.
Established in 1986.
We are a local, reliable, approachable, hardworking and dedicated family-run business. Sharing 70+ years' experience in the gas, plumbing & heating industry. Gas safe registered.
Soon to be F-gas registered. Excited to offer domestic air conditioning for your home, in time for those increasingly hotter summers.
We undertake all aspects of plumbing, from bathrooms/en-suites/ cloakrooms, and installations of kitchen appliances, to tap installations, and dripping taps.
Central heating; from entire central heating system replacements/ boiler breakdowns to heating controls and pump replacements.
LPG/ Natural gas; from gas range/ cooker installation to boiler and gas fire maintenance and servicing, specializing in Vaillant & Glowworm boilers.
We are happy to take on insurance work covering leaks and repairs. We offer a same-day/next-day service for genuine emergencies, where possible.
We also provide free quotations, and no job is too small.
Unfortunately, we don't currently hold the correct accreditations to install, service, and maintain oil boilers or solar hot water/ heating systems.
Nor do we work on underfloor heating or install or maintain wall-hung Wc pans, and we can only do domestic work, so no commercial premises.
