Services
Bathroom installations
We provide complete bathroom installations from design to completion. Our services include suite fitting, tiling, plumbing, and drainage work. Projects typically take two weeks to complete, with options for underfloor heating and extractor fans. All work complies with current building regulations.
Boiler repairs
Emergency boiler repairs and servicing available 24/7. We handle all makes and models, with on-site diagnostics and spare parts. Services include powerflushing, radiator replacements, and system efficiency checks to resolve cold spots and slow heating performance.
Drainage services
Our drainage specialists clear blockages using high-pressure jet washing and CCTV surveys. We handle sink, toilet, and drain obstructions caused by fat deposits, hair, or foreign objects. Emergency drainage solutions prevent property damage from water backups.
Powerflushing systems
Professional powerflushing removes sludge and debris from central heating systems. This improves boiler efficiency, eliminates radiator cold spots, and extends system lifespan. Recommended annually for properties in hard water areas like Tunbridge Wells.
Saniflo installations
Specialist installation and repair of Saniflo macerator systems for awkward locations. We supply, fit, and service units that enable toilet installation where traditional drainage isn't possible, with guarantees on all completed work.
