No. 02The promises

Three things.
In writing.

Most plumbers say “trust me” and hope you do. I write three things into every receipt — three promises that put my money where my mouth is.

01Same-day

Or your call-out is free.

Booked by 9am, in your home by 1pm. Booked by 12pm, before close of business. Or the £85 call-out is on me.

The number stays the number.

Quoted in writing before tools touch the wall. If the job costs more than I said, that’s on me — not you.

If I leave without it fixed, the next visit’s free AND I credit £50 to your account. No questions. No quibbles.

“Thank you to Vince who was so professional and supportive. He knew exactly what he was doing. No job too small. He arranged time to suit my needs.”

Great service, promptly provided. Vince was able to quickly identify the problem with our toilet system and repaired it during his visit. He explained the job clearly.

Vince was fantastic — fitted a new dishwasher after years of pain, and reinstalled a radiator which had become detached from our wall. My wife and I couldn’t be happier.

Bathroom refit at our Wootton place. Tiles to taps in five days, exactly to the written quote. Came back same week to sort a leak under the kitchen sink — no charge.

No. 13Why me

The difference,
side by side.

Most plumbers

  • “We’ll fit you in” (they don’t)
  • Hourly rate + parts (surprise totals)
  • No written guarantees
  • Call centres + sub-contractors
  • Mid-job upsells
  • Cash discount voids warranty

Finlay’s Plumbing

  • Booked by 9am, in your home by 1pm — or call-out free
  • Fixed price written before any work
  • Five guarantees on every receipt
  • Direct line. Same person, every time.
  • Costs more than quoted? On me, not you.
  • Full receipts, full warranty, £2m insured
No. 14Questions

Asked & answered.

01How quickly can you get to me?

Booked by 9am, in your home by 1pm. Booked by 12pm, before close of business. Or the call-out's on me.

02Do you charge for quotes?

Diagnostic call-out is £85, credited to the job if you book me. Big jobs (boiler installs, bathrooms): quote is free.

03Are you WaterSafe approved?

Yes. Verify on watersafe.org.uk. WaterSafe is the UK's approved plumber scheme — the standard most plumbers skip. I also hold G3 Unvented certification for pressurised hot water cylinders.

04What if the job costs more than the quote?

It doesn't. The price I tell you is the price you pay. If it turns out bigger than I quoted, that's on me — written into the receipt.

05What if you can't fix it on the first visit?

Next visit is free AND I credit £50 to your account. No questions, no quibbles.

06Are you insured?

Yes — £2 million public liability. Full cover on every job. Certificate available on request.

07Can I just text you a photo?

Yes — WhatsApp the issue and I'll send a 60-second voice-note diagnosis with a ballpark price. Free.
