The whole list, and nothing added to it
One plumber, working out of Arnold Street in Sowerby Bridge. The ordinary jobs that keep a house running, and the heating work behind them.
Everything he takes on, in his own categories. If what you have isn't on it, ring and describe it.
- Emergency call-outsWhy most people go looking for a plumber's number.
- Leak repairsFinding it takes longer than fixing it. Stop tap off before you ring.
- Blocked sinksA trap full of grease, or a waste run that has silted up.
- Dripping tapsWashers, cartridges and o-rings.
- Radiator repairsLeaking valves, cold ones, and ones that never warmed right from new.
- Central heating repairsPumps, valves, thermostats and pipework.
- Central heating servicingCheaper than waiting for it to stop.
- Central heating installationPut in and set up, rather than patched round.
- Boiler repairFault codes, lock-outs, leaks, and the ones that only play up in the cold.
- Boiler servicingThe annual check most warranties ask for.
- Boiler installationFitted, flued and commissioned.
- Boiler replacementOld one out, new one in, once repairing stops adding up.
- Gas leak detectionTracing an escape. If you can smell gas now, read the panel below first.
- General heating engineeringThe jobs with no tidy name. Describe it and he'll tell you.
- Advice on what suitsWhich boiler, which radiator, which tap. Ask.
Open the windows and turn the gas off at the meter. Leave the light switches alone and get everybody out. Ring the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 from outside. It is free and answered around the clock. Ring Garwood afterwards, for the repair.
Serviced, repaired, or replaced when repairing stops making sense
Heating is the bulk of the work. Boilers and central heating, from the yearly service to a full system.
What a job comes to depends on the parts and the time it takes. Describe the boiler and the symptom on the phone, and you will know before he starts.
Before you ring about a boiler, get three things. The make and model off the front, any code on the display, and what the pressure gauge reads. Those three sentences save a visit.

Up the valley, down towards Halifax, and the villages on the hillsides between. Not sure you are inside it? Ring and ask.
Worth ringing whatever the hour. He takes emergency call-outs. If you have water coming in, or a house with no heat in it, ring and find out whether he can get to you.
Get him out
The phone beats everything else. If water is coming in, ring rather than type.
If it can wait until he's off the job he's on, leave it here. He'll have something to read before he rings back.
