Testimonials

Great and quick communication. Clean and professional work. Had an outdoor tap fitted for the garden. Responses to the enquiry and further communication was quick and helpful. Arrived on time and the job was done friendly and professionally. Would very much recommend Steve from HouseWarm.

This guy is a consummate professional and straight down the line. Got told my boiler was knackered and needed upgrading, I wanted one last roll of the dice to make certain. Good job I did. From what was meant to be kaput, he got it working like it was new again. I couldn’t recommend this guy highly enough.

I had Steven visit today to service my boiler, absolutely fantastic, efficient and even helped me diagnose a couple of other niggling issues without any further charge. I would highly recommend if anyone is looking for a reliable, knowledgeable and skilled plumber.

I contacted Steven and he came around first thing the following day and sorted the problem promptly, clearly explaining the issue, the work required and his fee. He was very courteous and left no mess. I will use Steven again and recommend him to anyone who needs a plumber/heating engineer.

Very quick response to my email enquiry, then the two radiators were replaced within days. They looked great and the work was undertaken with care. I would highly recommend and would definitely use the company again if I had any plumbing or heating needs.

Contacted Steven via email about a leak we had on our toilet. Had a prompt reply and arranged a date/time to visit. He arrived on time, managed to fix the issue within a couple of hours and left everything clean and tidy. Very professional and would highly recommend. Many thanks.

I had been having problems with my toilet flushing for over 2 years of living in my flat, I have had other plumbers look at it but was told to replace the full toilet which I could not afford. Steve came out the same day and replaced a valve in less than an hour which has got the toilet working like new, full flush every time 🙂

FAQs

How do I know if my tap needs to be replaced rather than repaired?

If your tap is outdated, leaking often, or showing significant wear, replacement may be more cost-effective. It’s also recommended if repairs haven’t solved the problem.

Can a leaking tap increase my water bill?

Yes, even a slow drip can waste a lot of water over time, leading to higher bills. Fixing leaks quickly helps save water and reduce costs.

How do I fix a dripping tap?

A dripping tap is often caused by a worn-out washer or faulty cartridge. In most cases, you can fix it yourself with basic tools.

If your tap has two separate full-turn handles, it uses a washer that may need replacing.
If it has lever type handles, one or two, it has a ceramic cartridge that needs swapping out.

How much does it cost to replace a tap?

Labour for replacing a tap is typically £60, plus materials. Costs may vary depending on the tap, connectors, or pipe fittings needed.

Do you offer a guarantee or warranty on your work?

Yes, all work carried out by HouseWarm is covered by a 12-month guarantee. If any issues arise due to the installation or work done, they will be fixed at no additional cost.

New fittings and parts typically come with a 12-month manufacturer’s warranty.
