Plumber in Holt
Holt is Georgian, handsome and largely rebuilt after the 1708 fire — which means a whole town centre of roughly the same age, with roughly the same problems.

Working in Holt
The town burned down at the start of the eighteenth century and went straight back up, so the centre is unusually consistent: Georgian frontages, solid walls, and upper floors that were never designed to carry a bathroom.
There is money here and a good share of second homes, so a lot of our Holt work is planned refurbishment rather than emergency repair. It is roughly fifty minutes from base and always arranged in advance.

What goes wrong in Holt
The housing here has its own habits. These are the jobs we get called to most.
Bathrooms in buildings that never had them
Getting a decent waste fall out of a first-floor Georgian room is most of the job. The visible half — the tiling and the suite — is the easy part.
Conservation area and listed constraints
Where a flue can terminate on a listed frontage is a planning question as much as a heating one. We work that out before quoting, not after.
Houses that sit empty half the year
A second home left cold through January is a burst waiting to be discovered by whoever arrives first. Either leave the heating on frost protection or have it drained down properly.

What people say
Archie arrived when he said he would and sorted out the leaky joint quickly and efficiently. Very pleased.
