General plumbing, big or small
One local plumber for everything on the water side of the house. Jamie covers Shefford, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and the Cambridge area.
What Jamie does
Most jobs fall into one of the areas below and each has its own page with the detail on it. If you already know what you need, go straight there. If you are not sure what you are looking at, ring and describe it.
Emergency call outs
Out of hours attendance when the water is still going. See the emergency plumber page.
Burst pipes and leaks

Blocked drains

Bathrooms
Full renovations and straight suite swaps. See bathroom installation and renovation.
Toilets

Everything else
The jobs that do not fit a page of their own. Described below. Ring and ask if you are unsure.
The jobs without a page of their own
Plenty of plumbing does not have a neat name. Stopcocks that have seized solid and will not turn when you need them most. Service valves put in so the next repair does not mean shutting the whole house down. Washing machines and dishwashers connected properly rather than left on a bodged tee. Waste runs altered for a new kitchen. Outside taps. Pipework isolated and capped off before somebody else starts building work.
If you are not sure what you are looking at, describe it on the phone. It is quicker than trying to find the right search term for something you have never seen before. Jamie will tell you whether it is a job for him or for somebody else.
Not sure if Jamie covers your village?
The coverage hub lists every area across Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and the Cambridge area.
Got a plumbing job that needs doing?
Describe it on the phone and you will get a straight answer on what it involves. Priced and agreed before work starts, no hidden charges. You can also get in touch in writing if it is not urgent.
Common questions
Is any job too small?
No. Small jobs are worth doing properly and they are often the ones people put off until they turn into something bigger. Describe what you need and you will be told what it involves.
Which areas do you cover?
Shefford and the surrounding mid Bedfordshire villages, along with the wider Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire areas and across into the Cambridge area. Ring to confirm your own town.
Will I know the price before you start?
Yes. The work is priced and agreed with you before anything begins and nothing gets added afterwards. There are no hidden charges on a small job or a large one.
Is there anything you do not cover?
Jamie is a plumber rather than a one man band claiming every trade. Work that needs a different qualification, such as electrical work in a bathroom, is arranged separately. You will be told straight away if a job needs another trade rather than being strung along.
