One plumber for the whole house, from a dripping tap to a new boiler
Most homes need a plumber for a handful of things: a boiler that won't fire up, a radiator that stays cold, a leak under the sink, or a bathroom that has had its day. That is the work we do, day in, day out, across Bristol.
Small repairs get the same care as full installations. Gas work is done by Gas Safe registered engineers, and everything we fit is covered by public liability insurance.
Each service below has its own page with the detail. Start with the one that matches your problem.

No surprises. Here is what happens whatever the size of the job.

You call and tell us what's wrong
Describe the problem in plain terms. We'll ask a few questions, tell you what we can do and agree a time that suits you.
- 2
We look, diagnose and explain
We check the problem properly before suggesting anything. You get honest advice, including when a repair makes more sense than a replacement.

You know the price before we start
We go through the work and the cost with you first. If anything changes once we're into the job, we talk to you before going ahead.

We do the work, test it and tidy up
We protect your floors, fit everything properly, test the system and leave the area clean. Then we show you what's been done.
What affects the cost of a plumbing job
Every home is different, so we don't pull prices out of thin air. These are the things that move the figure up or down.
The size and scope of the work
Swapping a tap washer and re-piping a bathroom are very different days. The amount of labour is the biggest factor.
Parts and the model you choose
Boilers, taps, radiators and bathroom suites come in a wide range of makes and specifications. We'll talk you through the options and what you get for the money.
Access and existing pipework
Pipes under floorboards, behind fitted units or in older properties can take longer to reach. Condition matters too, as tired pipework sometimes needs replacing while we're there.
What we find when we look
Some faults only show themselves once we've investigated. That's why we diagnose first and explain the cost clearly before any work begins.
Every job carries a 5-year guarantee on our work, and same-day callouts are available when something can't wait.
Questions people ask before booking
Are you Gas Safe registered?
Yes. All work on boilers and other gas appliances is carried out by Gas Safe registered engineers. You can ask to see an engineer's Gas Safe ID card whenever we attend.
Do you take on small jobs as well as big installations?
Yes. A dripping tap, a faulty radiator valve or a slow leak gets the same attention as a full bathroom or boiler replacement.
Can you come out on the same day?
Same-day callouts are available. Call as early as you can and we'll tell you what's realistic for your area and the problem.
What does the 5-year guarantee cover?
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 5 years. If something we've installed or repaired isn't right, get in touch and we'll put it right. We'll explain the details when we quote.
Should I repair or replace my boiler?
It depends on the age of the boiler, how often it has been failing and whether parts are still available. We'll give you a straight answer and won't push a replacement if a repair will do.
Are there any jobs you don't cover?
We focus on plumbing and heating work. We don't deal with blocked toilets, so for those you'll need a drainage specialist.
Which areas do you cover?
We work across Bristol, Bath, Keynsham, Filton and Portishead, plus the neighbourhoods in between.
