Public SLA · April 2026

Every job. Every month.
Published, not pitched.

Most plumbers tell you they’re fast. We publish the receipts. Every callout we’ve done this month, what it cost in time, and whether we hit the slot we promised — warts and all.

How fast we actually are

Response time distribution.

All 284 same-day callouts this month, bucketed by time from ring to engineer on the doorstep. 86% of jobs hit a 2-hour response — the slow tail is mostly fringe postcodes during heavy weather.

The promises behind the numbers

Three things we put our money on.

Same-day or it's free

If you ring before 10am on a weekday and we can't get to you that day, we waive the call-out.

Quote in writing, before we start

If the job changes mid-way, we stop and call you. No surprise costs on the invoice, ever.

12 months on labour

If the same fault comes back within a year, we sort it free. Parts get manufacturer warranty on top.

How we measure

Response time
From the moment your call connects (or your online booking lands) to the engineer’s van GPS pinging at your postcode. We don’t count time you were on hold — because you shouldn’t be on hold.
On-time arrival
We send you a 2-hour window the day before. If the engineer rolls up in that window, it counts as on time. If we’re late, you get a text apology and £20 off the bill.
First-time fix
Job closed without needing a second visit for parts or further diagnostics. Calculated rolling 90 days to smooth out the bathroom installs.
What’s excluded
Genuine emergencies (escape of gas, mains flood) bypass the booking queue, so they aren’t in the average response stat — they show in the live feed instead.

Book a slot — we’ll text you the window, then a live tracker the day of.
