Question 1

Do you put your quotes in writing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every fixed quote is given in writing before any work begins, so you have a clear record of the agreed price for your Blackburn property before we start.

Question 2

Do you offer a fixed price for plumbing repairs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Wherever possible we provide a fixed price once we have seen or understood the job, rather than an open-ended hourly rate, so you know the cost upfront before any work begins.

Question 3

Are your prices fixed or do you charge by the hour?

Accepted Answer

Wherever possible we provide a fixed, written quote before work begins, covering installations, servicing and most plumbing jobs, so there are no surprises on the day. This is confirmed after a free survey or an honest phone conversation about the job.

Question 4

How often should an unvented cylinder be serviced?

Accepted Answer

Unvented cylinders should be serviced annually by a qualified engineer, both for safety, as they operate at higher pressure than vented systems, and to keep any manufacturer warranty valid. We are unvented cylinder qualified and can carry out that annual service.

Question 5

How long does a boiler installation typically take?

Accepted Answer

A straightforward like-for-like combi boiler swap usually takes one working day. Converting from a conventional or system boiler to a combi, or fitting a new unvented cylinder alongside the installation, can take one to two days depending on the pipework involved. We confirm the expected timescale in your written quote.

Question 6

How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?

Accepted Answer

Warning signs include an unexpectedly high water bill, damp patches on walls, ceilings or flooring, a musty smell, or your water meter still ticking over when everything is turned off. If you suspect a hidden leak, get it checked promptly to limit damage.

Question 7

Can you fit new taps, sinks or toilets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We install replacement taps, sinks, toilets and associated pipework as part of general plumbing work, whether that is a straightforward swap or part of a wider bathroom or kitchen update in your Blackburn home.

Question 8

Do I legally need a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12)?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you are a landlord renting out a property with gas appliances in England and Wales, you are legally required to have a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) issued annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. This applies to all gas boilers, gas fires, gas cookers, and any other gas appliances. Failure to comply can result in fines of up to 6,000, pounds prosecution, and even imprisonment. We provide prompt certificates for landlords and letting agents across Colne and the surrounding Lancashire area.

Question 9

What should I do if I have a burst pipe?

Accepted Answer

Turn off your water at the stopcock immediately to limit damage, then turn off any electrics near the affected area if there is a risk of water contact. Call us during working hours, Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm, to arrange a repair as soon as possible.

Question 10

Can you handle plumbing and heating problems on the same visit?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, yes. Alongside general plumbing repairs we also work on boilers and heating, so a single visit can often cover both if the two issues are related.
