*Plumbing work is available as normal but to keep both of us safe I'll need a clear work area with any house residents in another room for the duration of my visit. I'll need you to empty any relevant cupboards before I arrive for a timed appointment. When I arrive and have knocked on the door, please update me with any new information and then vacate the hall to another area. Once the work is complete I will wipe down any surfaces I have touched with a bleach spray or similar and go back to the front door where I'll let you know I've finished and ask for an email address to send the invoice to. *

Blockages cleared..
Central Heating system repairs and fault finding.
Water saving and low noise cistern devices used where suitable.
A word about showers. Each one is different and it helps enormously if you know in advance what type of shower you have or can send me a picture,
Parts are generally specific to each shower and so generally repairing a shower can take two visits, one to identify the shower and diagnose the fault and after parts have been sourced, a second visit to fit them. There is generally a good parts back up for branded showers, less so for other suppliers

My aim is to provide a reliable, clearly priced service to householders & I do not charge a call out fee.
As such my work rate is £50 for the first hour and thereafter £35 per hour. Payment within 7 days of invoice date.
Where pipe freezing is either required or recommended to reduce labour time then a charge of £25 will be made.
This rate excludes the cost of parts but I will advise you on a cost for those when I quote for your job.

Please be aware that every home is unique and therefore no two jobs are exactly the same, hence this is a general guide to what I consider to be the `normal time' I would expect these tasks to take. This is not an exhaustive list of work undertaken.
