What our local plumbers do

Plumbing covers a lot of ground, from a five-minute washer change to a complete heating system. The vetted local plumbers in our network handle the full range of domestic work, including the jobs below.

Leaks and burst pipes

Slow drips waste water and can quietly rot floors and ceilings; a burst pipe can flood a room in minutes. Our plumbers trace the source, isolate the supply and carry out a lasting repair, not just a temporary patch.

Taps, toilets and showers

Dripping taps, a toilet that runs constantly, low water pressure or a shower that will not heat up. These are some of the most common call-outs, and usually among the quickest and cheapest to put right once you have the right person on the job.

Bathroom installations

Planning a new bathroom or en-suite? A good plumber will handle the pipework, fit baths, basins, toilets and showers, and coordinate with tilers and electricians where needed. Comparing several quotes really pays off on larger jobs like this.

Radiators and central heating

Cold spots, radiators that will not warm up, a system that needs bleeding, balancing or a power flush, or new radiators fitted. Heating work often overlaps with boiler work, so it helps to use someone qualified across both.

Boilers and hot water

Boiler not firing, no hot water, low pressure or a noisy system. Any work on a gas boiler must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer by law, and we only match you with appropriately qualified tradespeople for gas work. If you are weighing up a replacement, our new boiler cost guide walks you through the prices first.

Drainage and blockages

Blocked sinks, slow drains, gurgling waste pipes or a blocked outside drain. Plumbers can clear most household blockages quickly and advise if the problem is something larger in the main drain run.

Emergency plumber? Get help fast

Some plumbing problems cannot wait for quotes. If you have a burst pipe, water coming through a ceiling, no water at all, or a leak you cannot stop, treat it as an emergency.

First, do what you safely can to limit the damage: turn off the water at your internal stop tap (often under the kitchen sink or where the mains enters the property), and if water is anywhere near electrics, switch off the power at the consumer unit.

Then get a vetted emergency plumber near you on the way. Our emergency plumber service is built for exactly these situations, connecting you quickly with local plumbers who offer urgent and out-of-hours call-outs, so help is on its way while you keep things under control.

For everything that is not urgent, such as a new bathroom, a slow drip or a radiator that needs replacing, the standard free-quote route above will get you better prices, because you are not paying an emergency premium.

How much does a plumber cost?

Plumbing prices vary by job, region and timing, so the figures below are general UK guidance to help you budget. The most reliable way to know what your job will cost is to compare several quotes from local plumbers.

Hourly rate: most UK plumbers charge roughly £40 to £80 per hour, with London and the South East at the higher end of that range.
Call-out charge: a typical call-out fee is around £50 to £100, which often covers the first hour of labour. Always confirm whether the call-out includes that first hour before you book.
Emergency and out-of-hours: expect a premium for evenings, weekends and urgent call-outs, commonly £80 to £150 or more per hour, reflecting the speed and timing of the visit.
Fixed-price jobs: for clearly defined work such as fitting a tap, a toilet or a bathroom, many plumbers quote a fixed price rather than charging by the hour, which makes comparing quotes more straightforward.

Larger projects are best understood with a dedicated cost breakdown. If a new boiler is on the cards, read our new boiler cost guide before you start gathering quotes, so you know what a fair price looks like.

Whatever the job, comparing up to 5 free quotes from vetted local plumbers is the simplest way to avoid overpaying and to see the full picture, including what each call-out fee actually covers.

How we vet local plumbers

Trust is the whole point of using us rather than picking a name at random. Before a plumber can quote for your job through our service, we check that they meet our standards, so the people you compare are ones you can rely on.

Qualifications: we check that plumbers hold relevant trade qualifications for the work they take on, and that any gas work is carried out only by Gas Safe registered engineers, as the law requires.
Insurance: we confirm that the tradespeople we match you with carry valid public liability insurance, so you and your home are protected if something goes wrong.
Genuine reviews: you can see real feedback from previous customers, so you are judging each plumber on their actual track record, not just a sales pitch.
Local knowledge: we match you with plumbers who genuinely cover your area, so they can reach you quickly and know the local property types.

This focus on vetted, insured, qualified and reviewed tradespeople is what separates a confident hire from a gamble. You stay in control at every step, comparing real quotes from people who have already been checked. To explore other trades the same way, you can always find a tradesman across our full network.
