What I do

Just plumbing – I am not gas-safe registered, so I do not fix boilers

After doing a fast track course and loving it in 2008, I decided (also credit crunch and no company’s hiring at the time) to set up as a sole trader and work on my own. I keep up to date with latest innovations and regulations online. I love what I do and am always excited to help my customers with their plumbing needs.

I now live in Great Shelford with my family. I have built up my business in the local area of Shelford and Sawston. I strive to give a friendly personal service and am always happy to explain to you as simply as possible the work I do.

Small repairs

I do mostly small repair or replace jobs. And prefer to fix rather than replace, but I’m always led by the customer.

Taps toilets, showers drains and heating systems can be rather daunting and complicated for many people. I strive to understand your system and fix whatever problem you have as quickly as possible and explain everything I do in plain English as I can.

Small repairs jobs that most larger companies won’t bother with or charge a lot for (because of much higher running costs than I have) are my bread and butter.

Tightning wobbly taps, stopping toilets leaking, replacing worn out valves, fixing outside tap etc…

I carry a good range of parts in the van and more often than not will be able to do small jobs with out needing to visit the supplier.

Larger jobs

I also will take on Full bathroom refits Including tiling and boxing in pipes. (see pics more being added soon) I won’t charge to come and estimate for you. (up to 30 min visit) and If taken on will work very closely with you to get just what you want.

Rates

I have a set call out rate of £60 per hour which is payable when I have completed your job. (over hour I charge to nearest 15 mins)

If I come out to you and give advise but dont take on your job for whatever reason I may add a discretionary call out charge just for time spent advising. It you text WhatsApp or fill in the contact me form and state an email conversation pictures are always best for me.

I am not VAT registered so don’t add that 20% on to everything.

I mark up products I use but like to keep it affordable.
