Every job is carried out by a fully Gas Safe registered, insured engineer — not a subcontractor or apprentice.

Same day plumbing
If your boiler has stopped working, your drains are blocked, or a burst pipe is causing damage, same-day emergency slots are available. Call us and we can usually have a local Gas Safe registered engineer with you the same day.
Common plumbing faults
Not every plumbing problem requires a full replacement or expensive renovation. Dripping taps, burst pipes, blocked drains, low boiler pressure, loss of heating, hidden water leaks — each points to a specific, often straightforward repair. Our engineers diagnose on-site and give you a straight answer before any work begins. We only recommend replacement when repair is genuinely not cost-effective.
Landlords and letting agents across Tyne And Wear rely on us for prompt, documented plumbing repairs and annual landlord gas safety certificates (CP12). We provide written confirmation of all work completed and our workmanship guarantee — everything you need for your property records. Priority scheduling is available for rental properties.
