How it works

Three steps, no surprises

Most people have been let down by a trade at some point. This is how we try not to be that story.

  1. 01

    Tell us what is happening

    Call or email with the job, the property area, and a photo if you have one. For a leak, tell us what changed and when.

  2. 02

    A straight answer on scope

    We say what the job actually involves, what it does not, and roughly what it costs — before anyone lifts a floorboard.

  3. 03

    Booked in and done tidy

    We turn up when we said, protect the floors, test the work with you, and take the mess away with us.

Who you are dealing with

Two plumbers, one phone number

Hope & Hayes is Mark and Ste. There is no office, no dispatcher and no subcontractor you have never spoken to turning up on the day. You get one of us on the phone, and one of us at the door.

We work almost entirely on repeat customers and word of mouth around Lancaster, which is a decent incentive to leave a job right. That means explaining what we found, pricing it before we start, and not disappearing halfway through to chase a bigger job.

Water pouring in right now?

Turn the stopcock off first — usually under the kitchen sink — then ring rather than email. We pick up the phone quicker than the inbox.

Where we work

Covering Lancaster and the villages around it

Common questions

The things people ask first

If yours is not here, it is not a daft question — just ask.

Which areas do you cover?

We work across Lancaster, Morecambe, Heysham, Galgate, Caton, Carnforth and the surrounding villages. If you are just outside that, ring us — if we cannot get to you we will usually know someone who can.

Do you charge a call-out fee?

No separate call-out charge for jobs inside our normal area. You are quoted for the work itself, and we tell you the rate before we book anything in.

How quickly can you come out for a leak?

Active leaks and no-heating calls get priority and we aim to be with you the same day or the next working day. If water is running and you cannot stop it, turn off the stopcock first, then call rather than email.

Can you handle a whole bathroom, or only the plumbing?

We take on full bathroom renovations including the pipework, fitting and finish. Where a job needs a tiler, plasterer or electrician we bring in trades we already work with rather than leaving you to chase them.

Do you work with landlords and holiday lets?

Yes. We do between-tenancy checks, planned maintenance visits and reactive repairs, and we can send a short written summary of what was done for your records.

Are you insured?

Yes — we carry public liability cover, and gas work is carried out under our Gas Safe registration. Happy to send the paperwork over before we start.

Get in touch

Tell us what needs doing

Ring for anything urgent, email for everything else. Either way you are speaking to Mark or Ste, not a booking system.

Out of hours, try the mobile: 07000 000 000

Worth mentioning when you get in touch

  • What the job is, or what has gone wrong
  • Which town or area the property is in
  • A photo of the pipework, boiler or leak
  • When suits you for a call back

It is not a test — send what you have and we will ask if we need more.
