General Plumbing in Leicester

Reliable repairs, replacements, and maintenance.

General Plumbing Services

Most plumbing jobs do not need a big fanfare. A leaking tap, a blocked toilet, a replacement shower head, or a new mixer tap are everyday work that keeps your home running smoothly. We handle these jobs professionally and quickly, usually same-day or next-day.

General plumbing work covers everything from simple replacements to more complex pipe repairs. We diagnose problems clearly, explain what is needed, and give a fair price before starting. No surprises, no upselling.

We are as happy doing a simple task as we are on a bathroom refit. Every job is treated with the same care. We arrive on time, do the work properly, and leave your home clean and tidy.

Prices for general plumbing typically range from £100 to £300 depending on the complexity of the work. We can often give you a price over the phone for straightforward jobs, or we arrange a visit for something that needs diagnosis first.

Are you available 24/7?

Yes. We operate 24/7 for emergency plumbing and heating repairs. For non-emergency work, we schedule during normal business hours.

Do you provide a guarantee on your work?

Yes. All our installations come with a guarantee on workmanship. We stand behind what we do and will put right anything that isn't right after we finish.

Can you provide a free quote?

Yes. We offer free quotes for all non-emergency work. For emergency call outs, the call out fee applies, but we'll give you a clear quote for any additional work before proceeding.

What should I do if I have a burst pipe at night?

Call us immediately on 07949 099363. We answer emergency call outs 24/7. Turn off your water supply at the mains if you can, and stay clear of the affected area. We'll get to you as fast as we can.

What's included in your emergency call out charge?

The call out fee (typically £100-£400) covers our arrival, diagnosis of the problem, and emergency stabilisation. Most emergency repairs are quoted as part of the call out or immediately after we assess the situation.

Can you fix a boiler breakdown on the same day?

We'll aim to get to you the same day if you call during working hours. For after-hours emergencies, we'll attend and stabilise the situation. Repairs depend on the fault and parts availability.

How much does a bathroom installation cost?

Bathroom costs typically range from £5,000 to £10,000 depending on size, specification, and the complexity of pipework. We'll provide a fixed quote after surveying the job.

How long does a bathroom installation take?

A typical bathroom installation takes 1 to 3 weeks depending on size and complexity. We work closely with you to minimise disruption and keep you updated on progress.

Do you do the electrics and tiling in a bathroom?

We handle all the plumbing: pipework, drainage, fixtures, and water systems. We work alongside your electrician and tiler to ensure everything coordinates properly. We can recommend trusted tradespeople if you need them.

Can you supply the radiators as part of the installation?

Yes. We supply radiators as part of the installation. We offer a range of styles from traditional column radiators to modern designer models.

How much does a radiator installation cost?

A single radiator installation costs between £200 and £800 depending on pipework requirements. Full-house radiator upgrades are quoted individually based on the scope of work.

Will you balance my heating system?

Yes. After radiator installation, we balance your heating system to ensure every room warms evenly. We also advise on efficient running and explain how to get the most from your system.

How much do you charge for general plumbing?

Most general plumbing jobs fall between £100 and £300, depending on the work involved. We will always give you a clear price before we start. No hidden extras.

How quickly can you come out for general plumbing?

For most general plumbing jobs, we can get to you the same day or the next day. For urgent issues, call us and we will do our best to fit you in as soon as possible.

Is it cheaper if I pay cash?

Our prices are the same regardless of how you pay. We keep our pricing fair and transparent, and you will always get the same honest rate.

Do you guarantee your general plumbing work?

Yes. If anything we have fitted or repaired develops a fault, get in touch and we will come back and put it right. We stand behind every job.

How fast can you get to me for a blocked drain?

We aim to be with you within 2 hours for blocked drain call outs. We know a blocked drain is not something you can wait around for, so we prioritise these jobs.

How much does drain clearance cost?

Blocked drain clearance typically costs between £150 and £250, depending on the severity and location of the blockage. We will give you a price before we start.

What methods do you use to clear drains?

We use a combination of manual rodding, high-pressure jetting, and specialist tools depending on the type and severity of the blockage. We will choose the most effective method for your situation.

Can you unblock outside drains?

Yes. We clear both internal drains (sinks, baths, toilets) and external drains (manholes, inspection chambers, rainwater drains). Whatever is blocked, we can sort it.

What if the blockage keeps coming back?

If a blockage keeps returning, there is usually an underlying issue such as a cracked pipe, tree root intrusion, or a build-up of scale. We can investigate further, diagnose the root cause, and recommend the right fix.
