Plumbing and building work in and around Dorchester

Dorchester and the villages around it are where most of our work happens. We know the housing stock here well: a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces in town, older stone properties out in the villages, and a fair number of homes that have oil systems rather than gas. That last one is worth mentioning because not every plumber covers oil boilers and tanks properly. We do.

Boilers and heating

We're Gas Safe registered and cover the full range: combi boiler repairs and replacements, system boiler conversions, pressurised system upgrades, and oil boiler work including tank installations. If your heating system is underperforming, we'll diagnose it honestly and tell you whether it's worth repairing or whether a replacement makes more financial sense. We're not going to push you towards a new boiler if a repair is the right call.

One of the more involved jobs we get called for in this area is upgrading older properties to a pressurised system. If you've still got a header tank in the loft feeding a vented cylinder, there are good reasons to consider changing it. We'll walk you through what's involved and what the realistic costs are.

Bathrooms

Full bathroom refits, wet rooms, shower enclosures and re-tiling. We carry out the plumbing, tiling and fitting ourselves. Jobs typically run 3–7 days depending on scope, and you'll have a written quote before anyone picks up a tool. We cover bathrooms across Dorchester, Bridport, Beaminster and the villages between.

Refurbishments

Bigger multi-room jobs are something we handle well. If you're looking at a property renovation where you need plumbing, building work, bathrooms and kitchens coordinated in one project, that's what we do. One point of contact, trades we trust for the specialist elements, and someone who keeps the job moving. See more on refurbishments.

General plumbing

Leaks, burst pipes, failed valves, slow drains, cold radiators, no hot water. All of it. We cover emergency callouts across Dorchester and can usually be on site within a few hours for urgent issues. For non-emergency work, we'll book you in and show up when we say we will. That shouldn't need saying, but apparently it does.
