Mara Garden & the river wards
A three-van plumbing team working across Mara Garden, Colton Wharf and Elder Row. Leaks, blockages, hot water and full bathroom fits — diagnosed on the first visit and priced before a single fitting comes off.
What we handle
We stay narrow on purpose. If a job sits outside these lanes we will say so on the phone rather than send a van and charge you for the visit.
Lane 01
Anything actively losing water, or anything that has left you without a working toilet or tap.
Lane 02
First and second fix for replacement suites, plus the small swaps that do not need a full strip-out.
Lane 03
Wet systems only — we work on the pipework, cylinders and emitters, not on gas appliances.
Lane 04
From a slow basin to a shared gully that has stopped taking water after heavy rain.
Before you call
Emergency slots cost more and push other households down the list. This is the same triage we use on the phone — read it first and you will usually know which one you have.
In most homes on our patch it sits under the kitchen sink, in a downstairs cloakroom, or inside an airing cupboard. Turn it clockwise to close. If it will not move, do not force it — note where it is, and tell us when you book so we bring a replacement valve on the first visit.
How a visit runs
The same sequence on every job, whether it is a twenty-minute washer change or a week in a bathroom.
01
You get a two-hour arrival window, confirmed the evening before, and a message when the van leaves the previous job.
02
We find the cause before quoting. That may mean lifting a board or running a camera — we tell you before we open anything up.
03
You get a written figure covering labour, parts and making good. Work starts only once you have said yes to it.
04
Everything is run under pressure, joints checked dry, the area cleaned, and the old parts shown to you before they leave.
On the van
Most first visits finish the same day because the common parts are already on board. Specified items are ordered on the day and fitted on a second, scheduled visit.
We press or solder copper rather than rely on push-fit behind a wall, and every concealed joint is left accessible or recorded on a photo we send you with the invoice.
Coverage & hours
We keep the patch small so travel time stays short and slots stay honest. If you are just outside it, ask — we will tell you straight away rather than take the booking.
Routing is planned the night before, grouped by ward, which is why the arrival window can be as tight as two hours.
Questions
If yours is not here, put it in the notes box when you book and it gets answered on the call back.
Book a visit
A short description beats a long one. What is leaking or blocked, when it started, and whether you have been able to isolate it.
Requests are read by the same people who turn up. You will get a call back to confirm the slot and, where we can price it from the description, an indicative figure before the visit.
