Working in Aylsham
Aylsham is around thirty minutes up the A140 from base. We take planned work here regularly and will come out for genuine emergencies, though we will be honest with you about how long the van will take.
The centre is Georgian and earlier around the Market Place, with Victorian and post-war housing around it and newer development on the edges. Blickling and the surrounding villages bring in a good amount of period property work.
Where we get called

What goes wrong in Aylsham
The housing here has its own habits. These are the jobs we get called to most.
Solid walls and no cavity
Period properties here often have solid brick walls. Chasing pipe into them is a different job from a modern cavity wall, and it affects both the price and where we can sensibly run things.
Oil-fired heating
Plenty of properties around Aylsham run oil. Tank condition, fire valves and sludge in the bottom of the tank cause more breakdowns than the boiler itself does.
Awkward first-floor bathrooms
Old floor joists, no space for a decent waste fall, and a soil stack in the wrong place. Most of the work in a period bathroom refit is under the floor where nobody will ever see it.

What people say
Had an emergency leak at my place in Bowthorpe and Archie responded quickly. He replaced the boiler efficiently, explained everything clearly, and got the job done to a high standard. Really impressed with how tidy he left everything afterwards.
