Frequently Asked Questions About Our Service Areas
How far from Exeter do you provide plumbing services?
We provide plumbing and heating services throughout Devon, covering approximately a 25-mile radius from our Exeter base. This includes all major towns such as Exmouth, Tiverton, Crediton, Cullompton, Ottery St Mary, Newton Abbot, Okehampton, Sidmouth, Honiton, and all villages and rural areas in between. For larger projects or specific services, we can travel further - just ask!
Do you have different response times for different areas in Devon?
Yes, our response times vary slightly depending on your location. For Exeter and immediate surroundings (including Crediton, Cullompton, and Exmouth), we typically respond to emergencies within 30-60 minutes. For locations further away such as Newton Abbot, Okehampton, or Sidmouth, our response time is usually 60-90 minutes. However, we have technicians strategically placed throughout Devon to minimize wait times, and in genuine emergencies, we always prioritize rapid response regardless of location.
Do you charge extra for services in remote areas of Devon?
For standard services within our 25-mile coverage radius, we do not charge additional travel fees. For locations beyond this radius or in particularly remote rural areas, a small travel supplement may apply - this will always be discussed and agreed upon before any work begins. We're committed to transparent pricing and will always provide a clear quote upfront. For regular maintenance customers on our service plans, we often waive travel fees even for more remote locations.
Do you have local plumbers in each Devon town or all based in Exeter?
While our main office is in Exeter, we have technicians living throughout Devon to ensure prompt service across all areas. We currently have plumbers and heating engineers based in Exeter, Cullompton, Tiverton, Newton Abbot, and Honiton, allowing us to provide truly local service to most of Devon. Each of our technicians is fully qualified and carries comprehensive parts inventory in their vans, meaning they can resolve most issues in a single visit regardless of your location.
Are your services for rural properties different from urban areas?
We offer specialized services for rural properties that often have different plumbing and heating requirements compared to urban homes. Our rural services include oil boiler installations and servicing, water pump systems, septic tank maintenance, bore hole and well system servicing, and solutions for hard water issues common in certain Devon areas. Our technicians are experienced with the unique challenges of countryside properties, including those not connected to mains services. We also understand the importance of respecting the character and heritage of older rural properties.
