Axminster sits about 30 minutes from our base on the A35, which puts us well within reach for most jobs in EX13 and the surrounding area. We get a lot of calls from this part of east Devon for bathroom refurbishments and boiler work, which makes sense: a lot of the housing stock here is older, period terraces and stone cottages that haven't had a proper bathroom update in years, and boilers that are due for attention.
Bathroom installation and refurbishment
Most of the bathroom work we do in Axminster is a full strip-out and refit. Sometimes that means redesigning the layout to make better use of the space; other times it's simply a matter of modernising what's there with new fixtures, proper tiling and replumbing that doesn't drip or rattle. We do everything in-house: the plumbing, the tiling, the fitting. One team, one quote, no subcontracting surprises.
Wet rooms are increasingly popular, particularly in older properties where the floor build-up is manageable. If you're thinking about a wet room, it's worth having a conversation early about the subfloor and drainage, because getting those right is what makes the difference between a room that works for ten years and one that causes problems.
Plumbing repairs and maintenance
Leaks, dripping taps, toilet cisterns that won't fill, cold radiators, water pressure problems. These are the day-to-day jobs that often get put off because people aren't sure who to call. We're straightforward about pricing and we don't charge for the call-out when we can diagnose over the phone first.
Older properties in and around Axminster sometimes have pipework that was fitted a long time ago and is starting to show its age. It's usually worth sorting properly rather than patching indefinitely. We'll give you an honest assessment of what's worth doing and what isn't.

What our Axminster customers say
"Came out first thing the morning after we called about a leaking boiler. Sorted it in under an hour, cleaned up after himself, fair price. Couldn't ask for more."
