What this job actually involves
When a tank has gone, the replacement decisions that matter are size, fuel and venting. Too small and you are cold every evening; too big and you pay to keep water hot that nobody uses. We size from how many people live in the house and how the hot water actually gets used, not from whatever was there before.
Installation is where most of the value is. New flex connectors, a fresh shut-off, dielectric unions where dissimilar metals meet, a properly piped T&P discharge, correct draft on a gas vent, an expansion tank where the system is closed, and the old unit taken away. We leave the install to code, not just working.

Customer reviews
Two toilets, a faucet and a leaking outside tap in one morning. Tidy, polite, and the price was agreed before he started.
Peter N.Residential plumbingThird plumber to look at a leak nobody could find. First one to actually locate it, behind the tub surround where the drain connection had failed.
Sasha L.Leak detectionOur main line backed up into the basement on a Sunday. They cleared it from the cleanout and then put a camera down and showed me the roots at a joint about thirty feet out. Booked the repair for the following week with no pressure.

How long does a replacement take?
A straight swap is usually three to five hours. Changing fuel type, moving the location or correcting venting adds time and we tell you that up front.
What size do I need?
As a rough guide, a 40 gallon tank suits two to three people, 50 gallons three to four, and beyond that we look at simultaneous demand rather than headcount.
Should I switch to tankless?
If you run out of hot water regularly and plan to stay in the house, tankless is worth costing. If you just need hot water back today at a sensible price, a tank is the better buy.
