Bursts in period homes
Victorian and Edwardian plumbing takes patience. We chase the leak before we cut plaster, work through existing floorboard access where we can, and always tidy before we leave.

What we cover
College and student-let leaks
Fast response to college accommodation, HMOs and student lets — we work with your property manager and can bill the letting agent directly.
City-centre flat leaks
Leaks into flats below, tracked and stopped without cutting more than needed. Landlord and management-company reporting on request.
No hot water
Boiler no-fires, immersion trips, pump failures and diverter-valve faults — diagnosed and repaired on the visit where van stock allows.
Blocked drains
Shared-drain, gully and WC blockages cleared with rods or the jetter. We identify the source, not just the symptom.
Frozen pipes
Winter callouts across South Cambs — thawed carefully, split sections replaced, lagging left in better condition than we found it.
Not just emergencies — everyday plumbing in Cambridge
Most people find us at 2am, but a good share of our Cambridge work is planned: taps and mixers, toilet and cistern replacements, radiator swaps and valve changes, outside taps, washing-machine and dishwasher plumbing, shower installs and waste re-routes.
If it can wait until Tuesday, it should — planned visits are cheaper than call-outs and we will tell you honestly which one you need when you ring. Booked slots run weekdays across CB1 to CB5 and the South Cambs villages.
Boiler repair and boiler servicing
Our plumbers are Gas Safe registered, so boiler faults do not need a second contractor. We handle no-fires and lockout codes, diverter valves, pumps, expansion vessels, pressure loss, noisy systems and thermostat or control faults.
Annual boiler servicing is available as a standalone visit or bundled with a landlord gas safety check. For Cambridge landlords and letting agents we can put multiple properties on the same service month so renewals stay in one batch.
Choosing a plumber in Cambridge
Period and college property is unforgiving of rushed work. Ask any plumber how they intend to gain access before they cut, whether the call-out fee is fixed, and whether the person quoting is the person attending. We answer all three the same way every time.
You get an upfront call-out price, an honest ETA rather than an optimistic one, and the same engineers on the return visit if remedial work is needed.

Questions we get asked
Do you take on non-emergency plumbing work in Cambridge?+
Yes — taps, toilets, radiators, showers, outside taps and appliance plumbing on booked weekday slots, which cost less than an emergency call-out. We will tell you on the phone which one you actually need.
Can you repair or service a boiler?+
Yes — our plumbers are Gas Safe registered. Boiler repairs, annual services and landlord gas safety checks are all in scope, with parts fitted same day where van stock allows.
How quickly can you get to a Cambridge address at night?+
Typical ETA is 75 minutes inside CB1–CB5 out of hours, faster in daytime. We tell you when we book the call whether we can hit that.
Do you work carefully in listed and period homes?+
Yes — a large share of our Cambridge work is period property. We route through existing access, keep floorboard cuts to the joist line, and document deviations to fabric on the paperwork.
Can you attend a college property?+
Yes — we've attended college and University-managed properties across Cambridge. Bursary or maintenance-office billing available.
Do you charge more for evenings or bank holidays?+
Call-out fee is flat seven days a week including bank holidays. Overnight labour is at a published rate, quoted before we set off.
Can you bill our letting agency directly?+
Yes — 30-day account terms available for established Cambridge letting agents on request.
