“Two jobs done by Vincent, repaired a pipe leak and installed a new radiator. Very professional, explained what he was doing and cleaned up after himself. Will use again.”

Call or WhatsApp now. You get a clear next step, a fixed quote before tools start, and no surprise extras after the visit.
From the plumber
“If your phone gets answered first time, that's already half the job. The other half is being on your doorstep before lunch.”
I keep my emergency van stocked for the failures that won't wait — pressure-reducing valves, expansion vessels, isolators for every common pipe size. Most emergency call-outs in Northampton are sorted within 90 minutes of me arriving.

No. 03What you get
The full picture.
A burst pipe at 7am isn't a job you wait three days for. I keep my van stocked for the situations that won't wait — burst pipes, leaks behind walls, blocked drains pumping into the kitchen, broken taps, leaking radiators. WaterSafe approved + G3 Unvented certified, so I can isolate, diagnose and repair on the same call. The £50 call-out is credited to the job in full if you book me to do the work.
- On-site response same day — booked by 9am, in your home by 1pm
- Isolation + temporary repair to stop further damage immediately
- Diagnosis in writing with a fixed-price quote before the full repair starts
- Most fixes completed first visit because I'm carrying the right parts
- Workmanship certificate emailed before I leave
No. 04What it looks like
Done right.
In three frames.
Diagnose
Find the source first
Acoustic kit + thermal check before anything gets cut open.
Stop the bleed
Temporary repair, on the spot
Water back on as fast as I can. Permanent fix scheduled if it's bigger than the van carries.
Repair
Permanent fix in copper
Most repairs done first visit. Pressure-tested before I leave.
No. 05Common jobs
What I usually see.

“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. Even though he is super busy he kept his promises to fit me in when a space became available. Very tidy finish.”

“Vince was fantastic he fitted a new dishwasher after 2yrs of marigolds. Vince also reinstalled a radiator which had become detached from our wall. My wife and I were extremely happy with his work, he was extremely hardworking and clearly took a pride in his work.”

No. 09Questions
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 £50, 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.
