Yes, we offer a complete bathroom service. That means we can help you plan the layout, choose suitable fixtures, and coordinate the entire project - including plumbing, tiling, plastering, and more. You can provide your own suite, or we can help source one that fits your budget and style.

On average, a complete bathroom refurbishment takes around two weeks from start to finish. This includes removal of the old suite, any necessary preparation work, and installation of the new bathroom, including finishing touches like tiling and decorating.

Powerflushing is a deep-cleaning process for your central heating system. It removes built-up sludge, rust, and debris from your pipes and radiators, helping your heating system run more efficiently. It’s especially recommended if your radiators are cold at the bottom, your boiler is noisy, or your system is slow to heat up.

Some signs your boiler may need replacing include frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, unusual noises, and difficulty maintaining consistent heat or hot water. If your boiler is over 10-15 years old, it may also be less efficient than newer models. We’re happy to assess your system and provide honest advice.

Yes, we’re experienced with Saniflo and macerator systems. These are great solutions when you want to install a toilet or basin in a location where traditional plumbing is impractical. We handle new installations, servicing, and repairs for Saniflo units throughout the local area.

Absolutely. If you don’t need a full refurbishment, we’re happy to replace individual fixtures such as toilets, basins, baths or showers. We can also update taps, towel rails, or other features to give your bathroom a refresh without a complete overhaul.

Drainage issues are often caused by blockages due to grease, hair, wipes, or debris. Outdoor drains may become clogged with leaves or mud. We use professional equipment to clear blockages quickly and, where necessary, we can carry out drainage repairs or install new pipework.

Regular checks can help you avoid major issues. We recommend monitoring for slow-draining sinks, occasional leaks under sinks or behind toilets, and making sure your boiler is serviced annually. Powerflushing your heating system every few years can also prevent build-up and extend system life.
