Most maintenance jobs fall between £80 and £200, depending on the work involved. I always give a clear price before I start.

Can you fix a leaking pipe quickly?

In most cases, yes. Leaks are one of the most common calls I get, and I can usually diagnose and fix the issue on the same visit.

Do you service heating systems?

I carry out general heating system servicing and safety checks. For specialist heating faults, I will advise if a dedicated specialist is needed.

Will you leave my home clean and tidy?

Yes. I always clean up after myself and leave your home as I found it.

What types of heating repairs do you handle?

I handle most common heating faults, including boiler breakdowns, radiator problems, thermostat issues, and central heating systems that are not heating properly. If it is something I have seen before in 40 years, I can usually sort it out.

How quickly can you respond to a heating breakdown?

I try to attend heating breakdowns as quickly as possible, usually the same day or the next day. I know how uncomfortable it is being without heating, so I will always do my best to get to you fast.

How much do heating repairs typically cost?

Most heating repair jobs fall between £90 and £250, depending on the fault and any parts needed. I will give you a clear price before starting any work.

Can you repair all types of boilers?

I work on most common boiler types and brands. If I take a look and the job needs a specialist, I will always be honest about that rather than waste your time or money.

Do you carry spare parts with you?

I carry a range of common parts. If a specific part is needed, I will source it as quickly as possible and let you know the expected timeline.

What bathroom plumbing work do you cover?

I handle all plumbing work involved in fitting or upgrading a bathroom, including installing toilets, basins, baths, showers, and all associated pipework and waste connections.

Can you replumb an entire bathroom?

Yes. I can strip out old pipework and install a new plumbing system from scratch. Whether you are replacing a few fittings or doing a complete bathroom overhaul, I can handle the plumbing side of the job.

How long does a typical bathroom plumbing job take?

It depends on the scope. A straightforward fitting might take a day, while a full replumb can take up to five days. I will give you a clear idea of the timeline before starting.

Do you just do the plumbing, or do you fit the whole bathroom?

I focus on the plumbing and fixture installation. If you need tiling, electrics, or other trades, I can advise on next steps but I stick to what I know best.

Will you help me plan the layout?

I can offer practical advice on where pipework and fixtures will work best. I will always let you know if something will or will not work before we commit to a layout.

How often should I have my boiler serviced?

I recommend having your boiler serviced once a year. It keeps the system running safely and efficiently, and helps catch small problems before they turn into expensive repairs.

What does a boiler service include?

A standard service includes a visual inspection, a gas pressure and flow check, flue testing, cleaning key components, and a general performance review. I will let you know if I find anything that needs attention.

Will a service help keep my warranty valid?

In most cases, yes. Manufacturer warranties usually require an annual service. I can provide a service record for your files so you have proof if you ever need it.

How much does a boiler service cost?

Boiler servicing starts from £80. I will confirm the price before I start and there are no hidden extras.

How long does a boiler service take?

A standard service usually takes under an hour. I will be in and out without causing any disruption to your day.
