01 / Why trust us in your house

The badges, and what they actually mean.

Gas Safe

Legally allowed to touch your boiler

Anyone working on gas in the UK must be on the Gas Safe Register. Ask for the card, then check the number yourself at gassaferegister.co.uk. Ours is on every van and every invoice.

£5m insured

If we break it, we're covered

Public liability insurance to £5 million. If a job goes wrong in your home, the repair doesn't come out of your pocket or ours, it comes out of the policy.

Fixed quotes

The price we write is the price you pay

Quotes in writing before work starts. If we find something worse under the floor, we stop and talk to you before a penny is added.

12 months

Guaranteed after we leave

Every job carries a 12-month workmanship guarantee in writing. If our work fails inside a year, we come back and put it right for nothing.

03 / The other side of the quote

What you won't get.

Every trade says they're reliable. Easier to just list the things we've agreed never to do to a customer.

No surprise invoice. The written quote is the bill. Anything extra gets agreed with you first, in writing, or it doesn't happen.

No hidden call-out fee. Emergency fees are quoted on the phone before the van moves. Inside our radius, daytime quotes cost nothing.

No jargon on the phone. You'll be told what's wrong in plain English, what it costs, and whether it's worth fixing at all.

No upselling a new boiler. If a £120 repair buys your boiler 3 more winters, that's what we'll tell you. The swap can wait until it can't.

No mess left behind. Dust sheets down, boots off or covered, and the packaging leaves in the van.

No ghosting. If we're running late you get a call, and if we can't do the job we'll say so on day one and suggest someone who can.

Covering Charnwood & the villages.

Within 25 minutes of Loughborough town centre, we're there. Emergency jobs inside that radius carry no extra travel charge.

Outside the area? Ring anyway. We'll be honest about whether we can help.

04 / Word of mouth
Fitting a new valve to a white radiator
Combi swap · Shepshed
"Old boiler condemned on the Tuesday, new Worcester in and running by Friday. They rang the night before to confirm and hoovered the airing cupboard on the way out."
Karen W · LE12
Tightening pipework joints in a tight space under the floor
Leak trace · Loughborough
"Water mark on the kitchen ceiling, no idea where from. Found it with the camera in 20 minutes, one floorboard up instead of the whole bathroom. Charged what they quoted."
Mark D · LE11
Checking a radiator under the window in a customer's home
Power flush · Sileby
"Radiators were freezing at the bottom for 2 winters. Flushed the lot in a day and the house actually gets warm now. Wish we'd rung sooner."

Example reviews and stock placeholder photos, marked as such because this page is a concept. A live build uses real reviews pulled from Google and photos of your actual jobs and van, which sell far harder than stock ever will.

Before you ring.

05 / Asked every week
How fast can you get here in an emergency?

Average of 2 hours across LE11, LE12 and LE67. When you ring we'll tell you honestly where you are in the queue, and the out-of-hours fee, before the van moves.

Do I need a new boiler or a repair?

Usually a repair. Rough rule from 17 years of doing this: if the boiler is under 10 years old and the fix is under £300, repair it. If it's over 12 years old and the fault is the heat exchanger, the maths starts pointing at a swap. We'll show you the numbers and you decide.

Will you make a mess of the house?

Dust sheets go down before tools come out, boots come off or get covered, and everything we strip out leaves in the van. Bathrooms are the messiest job we do and even those get swept down every night of the refit.

Are you insured if something goes wrong?

Public liability to £5 million, and every job carries a 12-month workmanship guarantee in writing. If our work fails inside a year, the return visit costs you nothing.

Is the quote really fixed?

Yes. The written quote is the bill. If we open a wall and find something worse, work stops and we talk to you with a revised price before carrying on. You can say no.

Do you do small jobs?

Yes. Dripping taps, running toilets, a radiator that won't bleed. Small jobs get batched so the call-out is worth your money, and we'll say on the phone if it's something you could safely do yourself.

06 / Get a real price

Tell us about the job.

A few details and we'll come back with a written quote, usually same day. No sales call, just the price and when we can start.

That's the flow. On the real site this lands in the plumber's inbox and phone within seconds. This page is a concept, so nothing was sent.
