Hastings & East Sussex

Old Pipes, Old Houses, No Drama

A good share of Hastings housing is Victorian or Edwardian, and the plumbing inside it has often been patched by generations of different hands. Imperial pipe sizes, buried runs and mystery stop valves are all part of the furniture. Our engineers work in these houses every week, so we come prepared with the fittings and the patience the older stock demands.

When we repair something, we tell you honestly whether it is a lasting fix or a sticking plaster on pipework that is due for renewal, and what the sensible next step would cost.

Help & Advice

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as plumbing and heating maintenance?

Broadly, everything that keeps water and heat running properly around your home: fixing leaks and drips, sorting faulty toilets and taps, replacing radiators and towel rails, curing cold spots, checking the heating system over and putting right the small faults that build up. If you are not sure whether your job fits, just describe it when you call.

Do you handle emergency plumbing in Hastings?

Yes, emergency callouts are part of what we do. Burst pipes, serious leaks and heating failures get priority, and being Hastings based means we are close by. Turn off your stopcock first if water is escaping, then call 07525 024973.

Can you supply and fit designer radiators?

Yes. Designer radiators and vertical models are a speciality of ours, and they can transform a room as well as heat it. We help you choose a model with the right heat output for the space, not just the right look, then install it and balance it into your system properly.

Do you charge a call-out fee?

We will always be straight with you about cost before anyone travels. For planned work you get a clear price up front, and for emergencies we explain how charges work when you call, before you commit. No surprises on the invoice is a point of pride.

Is my job too small to bother you with?

No. A dripping tap or a single radiator valve is a perfectly good reason to call. Small jobs are often grouped so you get good value from the visit, and they are exactly how most of our long-standing Hastings customers first found us.

Why is one of my radiators always cold?

The usual suspects are trapped air, a stuck thermostatic valve, poor balancing or sludge in the system. Each has a different fix, from a simple bleed to a power flush. We diagnose which one you have rather than guessing, so you only pay for the fix you actually need.

Can you find a hidden leak?

Usually, yes. Damp patches, pressure loss on the boiler and unexplained meter movement all point to leaks, and methodical checking of the likely routes finds most of them without tearing the house apart. The sooner it is investigated the less damage it does, so do not sit on it.

Do you work on old pipework in Victorian terraces?

All the time. Much of Hastings is Victorian terrace stock and the plumbing inside can be a mixture of a century of alterations. We carry fittings for older imperial pipe sizes and know the common trouble spots in these houses, which saves time and mess.

Is regular heating maintenance actually worth it?

Yes, because heating faults are cheapest when they are small. An annual check picks up failing parts, low inhibitor and slow leaks before they become winter breakdowns. Pairing maintenance with your annual boiler service, which keeps warranties valid too, is the most cost-effective routine.

Which areas do you cover for plumbing maintenance?

All of Hastings, where we are based, plus St Leonards-on-Sea, Bexhill-on-Sea and Rye. Same firm, same engineers, same standards across the whole patch.
