Emergency & breakdowns
Emergency plumbing & boiler breakdown repairs
Burst pipe, water where it shouldn't be, no heating or no hot water — call us and we'll tell you straight away what to do and when we can get to you.
If water is coming in, turn off the stopcock and call us. If your boiler has locked out and you've lost heating or hot water, we'll usually be able to narrow down the cause over the phone before we arrive.
Boiler breakdowns are one of our most frequent call-outs. We diagnose the actual fault rather than guessing at parts, explain it in plain English, and repair it wherever repair is the sensible option. Many central heating faults are sorted the same visit.
We're contactable Monday to Sunday, 8am to 8pm, and for urgent jobs around Harpenden we aim to attend the same day where our schedule allows. We'll be honest with you about timings rather than promise something we can't keep.
