Pricing FAQs
How much does a plumber charge per hour in Lanarkshire?
Expect roughly £45 to £60 per hour for general plumbing in the Lanark and Clydesdale area, or a call-out covering the first hour from about £70 to £95. Larger jobs such as bathrooms, boilers and drainage repairs are quoted as a fixed price after a survey rather than charged hourly.
Do you charge for a quotation?
No. Quotes for planned work are free, including a visit where one is needed to price the job properly. Diagnostic work — leak detection or a CCTV drain survey — is chargeable, because that is skilled work in its own right, and the cost is credited against the repair where we carry it out.
Do you charge extra for emergency call-outs?
Urgent work during normal working hours is charged at the standard rate. Out-of-hours attendance carries a higher call-out charge, which we tell you on the phone before we set off, so there is no surprise on the invoice.
How do you take payment?
Cash, bank transfer and card. Small jobs are invoiced on completion. Larger installations such as bathrooms and heating systems are staged: a deposit for materials, then a balance on completion once you are happy with the work.
Are your guide prices fixed?
They are guides, not quotes. Access, the condition of existing pipework, material choices and unexpected findings behind a wall all move the figure. Once we have seen the job you get a written price that will not change unless the scope does.
