What affects the cost?
- Time of day. Work between 8am and 5pm is £10 an hour cheaper.
- How long the job takes. Access, the age of the pipework and how far a problem has spread all change the time.
- Parts. A new radiator or bathroom suite costs more than a washer.
Can it wait until the morning?
If you can turn off the water and make the problem safe, booking a visit after 8am means the £60 rate. Use the emergency check if you aren't sure.
