Hamish was punctual, friendly and professional and made sure the job was done properly. His prices are fair and there were no hidden extras as can often be the case. All in all a first class service from someone who takes pride in what they do. Highly recommended.
Ben Pearson
Hamish left us with a loo in perfect working order. He kindly fitted the job in at short notice (a lifesaver since we had a leak) and talked us through all the options as he went. Pretty reasonable too!
Finlay Jones
Fantastic plumber, quick response, fixed problem and very competitively priced.
Emmeline Kelly
Great Plumber! I rang Hamish first thing in the morning to ask if he could move our radiator from under the window to a tall wall radiator. As stated on his website, he was free that day, so he came within the hour. He did a great job, really neatly done and very tidy. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Joe Webber
Excellent service and reasonable price. Definitely recommended
Jamie Wengradt
Hamish was incredibly efficient and communicative when replacing our two bathroom taps. It was great to find a plumber who would do such a job hassle free. I would have no hesitation in using him for future jobs and recommend thoroughly to others.

Pricing
I specialise in small plumbing repairs and maintenance, and charge by the hour for my time rather than by quoting for work. Typically I am available within a few days, but for my current availability check my home page.
Labour - Normal working hours
I charge £75 for up to an hour + parts (Mon-Fri 9am - 5pm within 5 miles of Salisbury), then £60/hr to the nearest 0.1 hour. For jobs exceeding two hours it's simply £60 per hour, start to finish, plus parts. I am not VAT registered, so there is no additional VAT to pay on my labour. My rates are based on the Average UK Plumber day rate as published by Checkatrade. For jobs located more than 5 miles from the centre of Salisbury I charge a little extra to account for the additional travel time, as explained on my area page. For example, if Google Maps says you are 25 minutes from Salisbury, I charge an additional £25 per visit.

Parts
After the job, my invoice will give a detailed breakdown showing the cost of labour and of parts fitted. I carry a good supply of top quality parts sufficient for most common plumbing repairs. Where larger or more costly parts are required and need to be ordered, I will talk you through possible choices according to your budget, and either order them myself or show you where to order them for the best possible price. I am happy to install items that you supply as long as they are good quality.
Payment Methods
I normally take payment by BACS transfer, so at the end of the job I will ask for your email address and at the end of the day I will send you an invoice with my bank details. For domestic customers, payment is requested within 7 days. Alternatively, you can pay me at the end of the job by card, cheque or cash if you prefer. For card payments, I add 2% to the cost of parts to cover the transaction fee (otherwise I would make a loss on parts). For local business customers, payment is requested within 14 days of invoicing unless we have agreed otherwise.

Not Emergencies
I normally get booked up a few days in advance, so I am rarely in a position to respond to emergencies. Sorry! But on the very rare occasions that I do attend an emergency outside of weekday office hours, I charge double my normal rate, similar to average emergency plumber rates.

Price guidance by Job type
At the end of the job, my price is always according to my hourly rate plus parts. Please see the following pages for general guidance by job type. For more specific guidance as to how long a job might take and what parts might be required, feel free to WhatsApp me (+447442022493) some photos or a video of what you need doing and I will happily discuss over the phone.

Quotes
Because my focus is on small plumbing repairs and maintenance, I publish my hourly rate and charge accordingly for my time. Consequently, I don't normally get involved if expected to quote for my time. If you click on the buttons above you will find general guidance for various job types and roughly how long they usually take. For more specific guidance on your particular requirements, please WhatsApp me (+447442022493) photos or a video of what you need doing and I will happily discuss the approximate time it is likely to take and what parts are likely to be needed. If you don't use WhatsApp, please email me some photos and include your phone number so I can call you back to discuss. But for larger installation jobs, or if you are just at the stage of gathering and comparing several quotes, I am probably not the right person for you. With my focus on small repairs and maintenance, I fill a very particular niche, and I choose to publish my hourly rate (which very few plumbers are prepared to do). Plumbing jobs that are my priority are often not a priority to other plumbers, and vice versa. Each to their own!
Availability
Next week I still have time on Wednesday, and on Friday afternoon. The following week I have time on Monday (6th), Tuesday, and Thursday.
