A few useful answers
Before you
get in touch.
Clear information to help you decide on the right next step for your home. If your question isn’t covered here, James can discuss it with you directly.
Planning a bathroom renovation?
Think about how you use the room each day, as well as how you want it to look. A bathroom is a practical space: the shower, toilet, bath and plumbing all need to suit your household. Tell James which parts of your current bathroom work well, what you would like to change and whether you have a particular suite or shower in mind.
The work offered covers bathroom removal, plumbing, tiling, waterproofing and finishing. Electrical work, where needed, is coordinated with qualified electricians. A free quotation for planned work gives you a starting point for discussing your ideas, without an obligation to go ahead.
Repairs, maintenance and hot water
Not every plumbing job needs a full renovation. Replacing an outdoor tap, repairing a leaking toilet, fitting a radiator or addressing a problem with a sink can make a real difference to everyday comfort. Describe the problem and where it is happening when you contact James, particularly if you are unsure whether you need a repair or replacement.
For heating upgrades and hot water systems, explain what you currently have and what you would like to improve. JPH offers unvented hot water cylinder work and radiator installation, but does not undertake gas work or OFTEC-regulated oil work. Fault-finding visits are chargeable; planned quotations are free. If a leak is urgent, telephone rather than relying on an email enquiry.
Do you offer 24-hour emergency plumbing?
Yes. JPH offers 24-hour emergency plumbing call-outs across Ballyclare, Newtownabbey and the surrounding service areas. If you have an urgent leak or plumbing problem, call James directly rather than waiting for an email reply. Availability and response times depend on your location and the work already under way; a fixed arrival time is not guaranteed. Emergency call-outs are chargeable.
Is a quotation free?
Quotations for planned plumbing work, bathroom renovations and heating upgrades are free and without obligation. Emergency call-outs and fault-finding visits are chargeable. Let James know whether you are planning a project or need an existing fault investigated, so the type of visit can be discussed before you arrange it.
Can you handle a complete bathroom renovation?
Yes. Bathroom renovations include removal of the old bathroom, plumbing, tiling, waterproofing, shower installation and finishing work. James coordinates qualified electricians directly where electrical work is needed. Share your ideas, the condition of your existing bathroom and any practical requirements when requesting a quotation, so you can discuss the scope of the work.
Which areas do you cover?
JPH is based in Ballyclare and covers Newtownabbey, Belfast, Glengormley, Carrickfergus, Larne, Ballymena, Antrim, Lisburn, Templepatrick, Greenisland, Whitehead, Randalstown, Crumlin, Doagh, as well as surrounding areas in County Antrim. For a home outside these locations, get in touch with your postcode to check whether a visit is possible. Emergency availability varies by location.
Do you carry out gas or oil boiler work?
No gas work or OFTEC-regulated oil work is undertaken. JPH is not Gas Safe or OFTEC registered. The heating services offered include radiator installation, heating upgrades and hot water systems within the scope of the business’s training. If you are unsure whether your job is suitable, describe it to James before arranging a visit.
How can I pay, and is the business insured?
Payments are accepted by cash or bank transfer. JPH holds public liability insurance. An exact cover amount and a specific written guarantee period are not stated here because these details have not been confirmed. If either is important to your project, ask James for the relevant details before work begins.
