Our Services

Water coming through a ceiling or a boiler that has stopped in the middle of winter needs someone now, not next week. Our emergency plumbing call out service runs 24 hours a day across Biggleswade and the villages nearby. See what we cover and what to switch off before we arrive on the emergency call out page.

A damp patch, a dripping sound behind a wall or a water bill that has jumped usually means a hidden leak. Water leak detection finds it without pulling up half the floor, using acoustic and thermal equipment. Read more about how we trace leaks in Biggleswade properties on the leak detection page.

Burst pipes do the most damage in the first hour. We isolate the water, cut out the damaged section and make a proper repair, whether it is copper, plastic or an old lead connection. Frozen loft and garage pipes are the common one here. More detail on the burst pipe repair page.

If your hot water runs out halfway through a shower, the cylinder is often the reason. We install vented and unvented cylinders, size them to the number of bathrooms and set the controls up properly. Bedfordshire water is hard, so cylinder choice matters. See the hot water cylinder installation page.

Cold rooms, cold spots at the bottom of a radiator or rusting panels all point to radiator work. We replace old radiators, add new ones, move them for a kitchen or bathroom refit and fit thermostatic valves. Sizing is done room by room. Full details on the radiator installation page.

A washing machine or dishwasher connected badly will leak, smell or drain back into itself. We fit the valves, waste connections and standpipes properly and test the machine on a full cycle before we leave. See the washing machine and dishwasher installation page for what is included.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can a plumber get to me in Biggleswade?

For emergencies in Biggleswade we aim to be with you the same day, often within a couple of hours, and we take calls through the night. Planned work such as a new cylinder or radiators is booked for a date that suits you, usually within the same week.

Are you Gas Safe registered and insured?

Yes. We are Gas Safe registered, which is a legal requirement for any gas work, and we also hold BPEC, F Gas and heat pump qualifications. The business is fully insured. You are welcome to check our Gas Safe registration number on the official register before we start.

Where is my stop tap and why does it matter?

Your internal stop tap is usually under the kitchen sink, in a downstairs cupboard or near where the mains pipe comes into the house. Turning it off stops water reaching a burst or leaking pipe. Find yours now and check it turns, because a seized tap is no help in an emergency.
