Common boiler and plumbing jobs in Loughborough
Loughborough has one of the highest concentrations of landlord-owned property in Leicestershire, driven by the university and the broader student rental market. Half the calls we take in the town are from landlords or letting agents, and the other half are from owner-occupied homes in the town centre and Shelthorpe areas. The result: we end up doing a particular mix of work.
- CP12 Gas Safety Certificates — annual landlord requirement. We do a lot of these, often back-to-back across multiple properties owned by the same landlord. Same-day turnaround in most cases.
- Boiler swaps in tenanted properties — usually scheduled around tenancy changeovers in summer, or as emergency replacements when an old boiler fails mid-tenancy.
- Tap and shower fittings — high-turnover rental properties wear out fixtures faster. We carry common spares for this.
- Leaks and damp issues — older houses near the town centre often have aged pipework. We trace and repair, then issue a written report you can share with insurance or tenants.
For owner-occupied homes — particularly the older streets between the town centre and Shelthorpe — the work tends to be longer-term: full boiler replacements, central heating upgrades, bathroom plumbing on renovation projects. We work to your timeline, not ours.
Frequently asked questions
How quickly can you reach Loughborough from Leicester?
Loughborough is about 20 minutes from our Leicester base via the A6. For booked work, we schedule the day around your slot. For emergency callouts, our typical response time is under 60 minutes outside rush-hour, around 90 minutes during peak traffic. We’ll give you a real ETA when you call, not a vague “as soon as possible.”
Do you handle CP12 / Gas Safety Certificates for landlords in Loughborough?
Yes — this is one of our most-requested services in Loughborough specifically because of the rental density. We can do single-property CP12s or batch multiple properties for the same landlord (cost per certificate drops on bulk). Same-day or next-day turnaround in most cases. We email the certificate as a PDF the same day for your records and tenant copies.
Do you cover the university area and surrounding student properties?
Yes — the streets around Loughborough University (Forest Road, Epinal Way, the Holywell area) are part of our regular Loughborough route. We work directly with landlords or letting agents on student properties, and can schedule visits around tenancy changeovers in July-September.
Are emergency boiler callouts available in Loughborough at night?
Yes — 24/7. The phone is answered around the clock. For genuine emergencies (water leaks, gas concerns, no heat in winter), we’ll dispatch the same evening or overnight to Loughborough. Out-of-hours rates apply outside 9am-6pm Monday to Friday — we’ll quote the rate before we set off so there are no surprises.
