Plumber in Wells
Wells is a working harbour with a town attached, and it has a year-round population as well as a holiday one. Both need plumbers, at different times of year.

Working in Wells
The quay, the Buttlands and the lanes between them are largely Georgian and Victorian, tightly packed and much of it now split into flats or let out. Behind the town there is ordinary twentieth-century housing where people actually live all year.
It is about an hour from base. Coastal work is arranged in advance and we plan several jobs into one trip, which keeps the travel off your bill.
Where we get called
- The Quay and the harbour

What goes wrong in Wells
The housing here has its own habits. These are the jobs we get called to most.
Salt air eats external pipework
Anything copper or steel on a seaward elevation corrodes fast. External runs need proper clipping, lagging and sealing, and looking at more often than they would ten miles inland.
Narrow lanes and no parking
Getting a bath or a boiler into a quayside cottage is a genuine logistics problem. Tell us what the access is like when you book and we will plan for it rather than discover it.
Two seasons, two kinds of failure
Summer is changeover-day breakdowns in lets. Winter is frost in properties nobody has been inside for a month. They want completely different preparation.

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