One man, one van, across the Sussex coast
My business card says specialist electric shower and heating engineer, and that is where most of my work comes from. The rest is everything else a house throws at you between the big trades.
If it's on this page I can take it on. If it isn't, ring me anyway and I'll tell you whether it's mine or somebody else's job.
Every one of these has its own page with what's involved and what to expect.
Fitting a new one, swapping a dead one, and working out why the one you have runs cold halfway through.
Radiators that stay cold at the top, leaking valves, towel rails and immersion heaters.
Dripping taps, slow drains, leaking waste pipes and the blockages a plunger has given up on.
Panelling goes straight over uneven walls, and it costs less than tiling and goes up in a day.
A two stage treatment that clears the mould and leaves the room feeling fresh again.
Key safes, meter boxes, shelves, handles, hinges and the list that has been on the fridge since spring.
The same six things apply whatever the job turns out to be.
You'll hear what actually needs doing and what can wait until next year. I'd rather tell you a job is small than talk it up.
I look at the job, or a photograph of it, and tell you what it costs. Once we've agreed that figure it stays put.
The goose never sleeps for long. If something's gone wrong on a Saturday, ring me and I'll tell you whether it can hold until Monday.
There's a fair chance the part is already in the back, so most of these jobs get finished in one visit.
I carry an inspection camera and a wet vac, so a blocked drain gets looked at properly before anything is taken apart.
Some jobs are a five minute fix you can do yourself. I talked one customer through clearing an airlock in her shower, and that was that.
Ring and describe it. I've heard most of them before, and I'll tell you what it sounds like before I come out.
I'll tell you what the job costs before I start it, and that figure covers coming out. Ask when you ring and I'll be straight with you.
It depends what's booked. One customer had me look at a shower and fixed the next day, and that's about typical for something small.
Yes. Landlords and letting agents are welcome to ring, and I'm happy to deal with a tenant directly once you've set it up.
I'll say so. There's a point where a job belongs to a Gas Safe engineer or a sparks, and you'll hear that from me rather than find out halfway through.
