The engineer arrived as scheduled. Said he needed to buy parts and left. Came back and worked for 1.5 hours and found a part of the hob needs replacement.
The engineer, Lewis, said while leaving that he will invoice for 2.5 hours and will need to come back when part arrives. I asked him to bill for less as actual work was less and not complete. He agreed for 2 hours.
Later the invoice arrived for 2.5 hours (£300 with parts included). When I mailed him to ask why the extra half hour, he stopped responding until I mailed the company. He is not agreeing to 2 hours now.
I will pay him but have decided to use British Gas to complete the test of the job.
Prompt, on time and professional.
I will be staying with these guys.
Welcome to TM Hughes & Son. We offer shower installation and repairs in Billericay.
We are a trusted local family-run company with a team of Gas Safe registered, experienced, and insured plumbers.
Shower Installation
Installing a new shower can seem overwhelming, given the different options available. That’s why we offer free, no-obligation surveys and quotes to determine the best type of Shower for your home and unique needs.
We install all types of Showers, which include
- Electric Showers: These showers heat water on demand, taking water from the cold supply and passing it over a heating element inside the unit. They are cost-effective as they use only the water necessary, preventing waste. You’ll always have hot water if there’s a cold water supply and electricity.
- Mixer Showers: Mixer showers blend hot and cold water to your desired temperature. They are typically powerful, providing a strong flow of water. Thermostatic mixer showers can regulate the water temperature, preventing sudden changes and making them safer for families with children or elderly members.
- Power Showers: Power showers combine water from hot and cold supplies and use an integrated pump to boost water flow, resulting in a more powerful and invigorating shower. They are an excellent option for homes with low water pressure.
- Digital Showers: Digital showers control water temperature and flow rate precisely. The settings are controlled by a panel that communicates with the Shower’s power unit wirelessly or via a cable. Some models can be controlled by a remote or even an app on your phone (see Smart Showers below)
- Eco Showers: Eco showers are designed to reduce water consumption, making them an environmentally friendly choice. They can operate as mixer showers with a flow regulator or electric showers with a lower power rating to limit water use.
- Smart Showers: Smart showers are a newer type of digital Shower that can be controlled through smartphone apps, home automation systems, or voice commands. They offer features like setting a precise water temperature, creating user profiles for different family members, or even setting a shower timer to save water.
- Thermostatic Showers: These showers feature a built-in thermostat that controls the water temperature. They automatically adjust the mix of hot and cold water to maintain a stable temperature, even if other appliances use water elsewhere in the house. This feature makes thermostatic showers safe for children and the elderly, as they eliminate the risk of scalding from sudden temperature spikes.
Shower Repairs
Even the best showers can have issues. Low water pressure, inconsistent temperature, leaks, and blockages are common problems that can disrupt your daily routine and even cause damage if left unresolved.
This is where our professional repair services come in. Our experienced plumbers are experts at diagnosing and fixing these issues promptly.
