How we help....
Value for money has never been as important for our customers.
We only work locally and as a small business have better technology and much lower overheads than many of our competitors.
We know that pricing clearly, builds customer trust, prevents payment disputes and makes it easier to manage your finances. And avoids nasty shocks when the job is done.
So, we’ve published two versions of our 2026 Plumbing prices.
The first (short version) is a list of the plumbing jobs we’re most often asked to do. And includes the cost and time that they usually take.
The second – which is the flipbook underneath, also has these. And goes a step further discussing what’s entailed and what can affect the cost and time of a job.

1. All prices quoted are for plumber time/labour only and based on an upper and lower estimate of time required to do a specific job.
2. Our 2026 hourly rates of £98 per hour have been used in calculations and include VAT where required.
3. Prices are indicative only and actual prices use a minimum hourly rate for the first hour and flexible after this.
