Leaks + drips, tap installation and repair, toilet repair + replacement, shower installation, bathroom installations, kitchen plumbing, washing machine + dishwasher install + repair, blocked drains + toilets, outside tap installation, and any non-gas plumbing work.

How much does general plumbing cost?

Most plumbing jobs are quoted as a fixed price after diagnosis. Hourly labour £89 to £168.50 +VAT. Small jobs (tap washers, minor leaks) typically £89-£120 +VAT. Bigger jobs (new bathroom suite, kitchen refit) quoted per project after survey.

Do you fit bathrooms?
