Parts pricing

We charge parts at trade cost — the same price we pay our suppliers, with no markup. This is unusual in the industry (most plumbers add 20-40% to parts), but we believe transparent pricing builds trust.

You'll see the actual receipt or invoice for any parts costing over £50. Smaller items (washers, seals, pipe fittings) are charged at standard merchant prices.

What's NOT included

  • Tiling work — we recommend trusted Bedford tilers
  • Plastering & decorating — recommended specialists
  • Major electrical work (Part P) — coordinated with qualified electricians
  • Building work, walls down, structural changes — different trade
  • Asbestos removal — licensed contractor required by law

For these, we work alongside trusted Bedford tradespeople we've worked with for years. We can recommend and coordinate, but they invoice you directly.

Payment options

  • Card — debit/credit accepted via mobile reader (Visa, Mastercard, Amex)
  • Bank transfer — instant via app, details given on completion
  • Cash — accepted, receipt always provided
  • Finance available for jobs over £2,000 (Kanda, Tabeo) — subject to credit check

For jobs over £500, we typically ask for 50% on completion and 50% within 7 days, on receipt of invoice. For smaller emergency call-outs, payment is taken on the day.

Why our pricing works this way

You might find a Bedford plumber cheaper than us. You'll certainly find ones more expensive (especially national chains — Pimlico, Homeserve, Dyno-Rod typically £120-180 callout vs our £60-80).

Our pricing is set so you get:

  • Direct access to a 17+ year experienced plumber
  • Honest diagnosis without upselling
  • Quality parts at trade prices
  • Same plumber every visit (no random sub-contractors)
  • 12-month workmanship guarantee
  • Real local knowledge (not generic call-out)

For most Bedford homeowners, that's better value than either the cheapest or most expensive options.
