Plumbing and Heating in Telford

General plumbing and leak repairs

We are a Telford plumbing and heating firm run by Jordan Turner and Dale Forshaw. We handle leaks, burst pipes, taps, toilets, low water pressure and bathroom plumbing across Telford and Shropshire. Quotes are free. Call 01952 370000.

What we get called out for most

Most plumbing calls are not dramatic. A tap that will not stop dripping, a toilet that runs all night, a radiator that never gets warm, a patch of damp under the sink that has been there a fortnight. They are small jobs that get worse and more expensive the longer they sit.

The other half are the ones that cannot wait, and those are the ones where being local actually matters. A pipe that has let go under a floor does not care that a national company has a call centre open until nine.

  • Leaks and burst pipes, including under floors and behind units
  • Dripping taps, mixer taps and worn cartridges
  • Running or blocked toilets, new cisterns and pan connectors
  • Low water pressure, airlocks and noisy pipework
  • Stopcocks and isolation valves that have seized
  • Outside taps, washing machine and dishwasher connections
  • Radiators that are cold, leaking or need moving
  • Pipework for kitchens, bathrooms and extensions

Plumber or heating engineer, and why it matters

Plenty of plumbers cannot legally touch your boiler. Anything that involves gas has to be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer, by law, and that includes the boiler, the gas pipework and the flue.

We do both. That means a job that starts as a leak and turns out to be the boiler does not need a second firm and a second wait. It also means you are entitled to ask for the Gas Safe card and check it on the register before anyone starts. Ask us. Ask whoever you use.

How a job with us actually goes

  1. 1

    You call or message

    Tell us what is happening and roughly where you are. If it is an emergency, say so on the call, and if it is something that can wait a day or two, that is usually easier to book at a time that suits you.

  2. 2

    We tell you what it will cost

    For most jobs we can give you a price or a clear range on the phone once we know what we are dealing with. Where we genuinely cannot know until we see it, such as a leak inside a wall, we say that rather than guess.

  3. 3

    We do the work

    We turn up when we said, we put sheets down, and we take the old parts away with us. If we find something else while we are there we tell you before we touch it, not after.

  4. 4

    You pay for what was agreed

    The price you agreed is the price, unless you asked us to do more. No call-out charge stacked on top of an hourly rate you did not know about.

Where we work

Telford is home, so Telford gets the quickest response: Wellington, Dawley, Madeley, Oakengates, Ironbridge and the estates in between. We also cover Shrewsbury, Newport, Shifnal, Bridgnorth and Much Wenlock. If you are not sure whether you are in range, the quickest way to find out is to ask.

Telford houses, and what that means for your heating

Telford is a new town, stitched together from Wellington, Oakengates, Dawley and Madeley, and most of the estates around Hollinswood, Randlay, Brookside, Sutton Hill and Stirchley went up within a couple of decades of each other. That has a practical consequence: a lot of houses here have heating systems of a similar age and layout, and they tend to reach the end of their lives at a similar time.

What we see most often across the town is a boiler in a kitchen or an airing cupboard that has done a couple of decades, microbore pipework that has silted up, and radiators that were sized for how the house was built rather than for how it has been extended since.

The jobs we get called to most in Telford

  • Boiler replacements on the estates where the original systems are now past their best
  • Cold radiators at the far end of the house, which is usually balancing or sludge rather than the boiler
  • Combi conversions in three bedroom semis, to get the airing cupboard and loft space back
  • Leaks and burst pipes, particularly in garages and lofts after a cold snap
  • Annual servicing and landlord certificates across the rental stock
  • Bathroom plumbing on refits

Where in Telford we cover

All of it. Wellington, Oakengates, Dawley, Madeley, Ironbridge, Hadley, Donnington, Stirchley, Brookside, Randlay, Hollinswood, Priorslee, Lawley, Ketley and the town centre. Being based here is the reason we can usually get to a Telford emergency quicker than a firm covering the whole county.

Plumbing: common questions

Do you charge a call-out fee?
No. You get a price for the job before we start, and quotes are free with no obligation to go ahead.
Can you come out today?
Often, yes, depending on what we are already booked on. Call 01952 370000 and we will tell you honestly when we can get to you rather than promise a slot we cannot make.
Do you do both plumbing and gas work?
Yes. We are plumbers and Gas Safe registered heating engineers, so boiler work, heating and general plumbing are all in house.
My water pressure is low everywhere in the house. What is that?
Usually one of three things: a partly closed stopcock, a blocked filter or a problem with the incoming main. It is worth checking the stopcock is fully open before you call anyone out.
Are you actually based in Telford?
Yes. TF Heating Ltd is registered in Telford and it is where we work from, which is why Telford jobs get the quickest response.
Which Telford postcodes do you cover?
TF1 through TF7 across the town, plus TF10 for Newport and the surrounding Shropshire towns.
Do you work on the newer estates as well as the older ones?
Yes. Newer builds bring their own issues, usually to do with system pressure, controls and warranty conditions rather than worn-out boilers.
