Franklin came in and did a brilliant job. Fast, efficient, and diagnosed the issue quickly. Had us back up and running the same day. Highly recommended for anyone in Birmingham looking for an honest plumber.
Same-day response across Birmingham and the Midlands. £84 + VAT call-out covers diagnosis plus your first hour of labour.
When your heating or hot water fails, you want someone who will turn up quickly and tell you the truth about what is wrong. Our call-out fee is £84 plus VAT and it covers the engineer's first hour of labour plus diagnosis. In most cases that is enough to have your boiler running again before we leave.
If the repair needs additional parts or labour, we explain clearly what the options are, what each will cost and how long it will take. We do not start further work without your say-so, and we do not push you into a replacement boiler when a repair will do.
We carry common spares on the van and can source manufacturer-specific parts quickly when needed. Worcester, Vaillant, Baxi, Ideal, Glowworm, Ferroli, Potterton, whatever you have, we have seen it and fixed it.
We cover Birmingham, Solihull, Coventry and the wider Midlands seven days a week, with same-day response whenever we can. If you are without heat or hot water, call us and we will get to you as soon as possible.
We cover Birmingham, Solihull, Coventry, Walsall, Redditch, Bromsgrove and the wider Worcestershire area. Our base is in Marston Green, Birmingham. If you are just outside that radius, call us on 07869 837 241 and we will usually still be able to help.

A full annual boiler service costs between £79 and £124, depending on the make and model. That includes the full manufacturer-standard service, all safety checks and a photographic report emailed to you on the day.
Yes. We send a full boiler service report by email and WhatsApp, complete with photographs of every step taken. That means you know exactly what was checked, what was cleaned and whether anything needs attention.
Once a year. Annual servicing keeps the manufacturer's warranty valid, helps the boiler run efficiently and catches small problems before they become expensive ones. Late summer or early autumn is a popular time to book, before the heating season starts.
Yes. We provide Landlord Gas Safety Certificates (CP12) for rental properties, usually on the same visit as the annual service so you are not paying for two call-outs.
Visual checks for leaks and damage, electrical and control checks, flue gas analysis, a boiler tightness test, ventilation safety checks and a full system pressure check. Every step is photographed for the report.
Yes. Our call-out fee is £84 plus VAT and it includes the engineer's first hour of labour plus any small parts carried on the van. In most cases that is enough to have your boiler fixed before we leave.
We run a same-day response wherever possible, including weekends. Call 07869 837 241 as soon as the fault shows up and we will let you know the soonest we can be on site.
In most cases, yes. We carry common Worcester, Vaillant, Baxi and Ideal spares on the van. If a specific part needs ordering, we will tell you straight away, book a return visit and get it done as fast as the supplier allows.
Yes. Worcester, Vaillant, Baxi, Ideal, Glowworm, Potterton, Ferroli, whatever the badge says. We have seen most faults before and will tell you honestly whether it is worth repairing.
We will say so. If the repair bill is going to be close to the cost of a new high-efficiency boiler, or if the boiler is already at the end of its life, we will tell you up front and give you a separate quote for a replacement. No pressure either way.
Most boiler installations land between £1,795 and £2,995, including the boiler itself, installation, system flush, commissioning and warranty registration. The final price depends on the brand, size, complexity of the installation and any extras like a smart thermostat.
Yes. Every install comes with a full parts and labour warranty of 5, 10 or 12 years, depending on the brand and model you choose. We will explain the exact terms before you commit and register the warranty on your behalf.
Most straightforward installations are completed in a single day. We remove the old unit, fit the new boiler, flush the system, commission it properly and hand it back with a full demo. More complex system conversions may take a second day.
Yes. We can fit a smart thermostat such as Hive, Google Nest or an Alexa-compatible unit at the same time as the install. It gives you app control from your phone or tablet and pays for itself in lower gas bills within a couple of heating seasons.
Yes. We take credit and debit cards, bank transfer and cash. For larger jobs we are happy to agree staged payments so you are not handing over the full amount in one go.
Yes. Removal and responsible disposal of the old boiler is included in the installation price. You do not have to arrange any skip, collection or waste transfer yourself.
Yes. We can install and upgrade radiators in any room and in any style, including extensions, loft and garage conversions, and rooms that were missed when the heating was first put in. We run the pipework tidily and commission the system after.
All styles: classic white panel radiators, tall vertical designer units, column radiators, and heated towel rails for bathrooms and en-suites. We can help you pick a radiator that looks right in the room and still delivers the heat output you need.
Yes. Every radiator install includes new thermostatic radiator valves as standard, so you can control each room independently and keep your running costs down.
Straightforward swap-outs start at around £125. Designer and vertical radiators cost more depending on the model you pick. We give you a fixed quote up front once we know the style and location, with no hidden extras.
Yes. If you are having a radiator or two replaced, it is a good time to balance the whole system so your upstairs and downstairs heat evenly. We can usually do that in the same visit.
Yes. We repair every type of toilet, including modern enclosed-cistern suites where the workings are hidden behind panels. Flush mechanisms, float valves, seals and fixings are carried on the van so most repairs are done on the first visit.
Yes. We install and repair every type of shower, from thermostatic and mixer showers to electric and concealed units. We can recommend the right model for your water pressure and mains setup.
In most cases, yes. Call 07869 837 241 as soon as you spot the leak and we will let you know the soonest we can be on site. Shut off the stopcock to the affected area in the meantime if you can.
Yes. Dripping taps, failing washers, leaking pipework, mains and cylinder issues are all bread-and-butter for us. Most repairs are completed on the first visit.
