"Back-to-back terrace, boiler died on a Sunday morning. Engineer diagnosed the fan by lunchtime, sourced the part in Leeds and had heating back on before tea. £50 diagnostic came off the bill."

What plumbing emergencies in Leeds usually look like
LS6/LS7 (Headingley, Chapel Allerton) is dominated by student-let terraces where the classic emergency is a burst pipe in an unheated attic during Christmas turnover. LS10 (Hunslet, Leeds Dock) is high-density apartments with communal risers. LS16 (Cookridge, Adel) leans toward suburban semis with 30-year-old system boilers on hard-water side of the city.
What Kevin will do the moment you message us
- Ask which building — Candle House, Bridgewater Place — so we know the concierge sign-in drill
- Bring stopcock keys for terraces where the internal isolator has been painted over
- Carry a lithium-battery leak-detection headphone kit for solid-floor Headingley kitchens
- Isolate the attic tank first on any winter LS-postcode call before hunting the leak
- Photograph every joint before we close a ceiling — student landlords love that paperwork
Why we won't quote £600 for a burst pipe on a Sunday in Leeds
The Leeds student-let scam is charging the landlord and the tenant for the same repair. We invoice the letting agent once, with a photo trail — and we won't ask a tenant for cash on the door.
Our promise for every Leeds call-out: £50 to attend and diagnose, a fair-quote figure in writing before any billable repair starts, and the £50 refunded if we can't fix the fault.

"1930s semi, upstairs rads always cold. Proper diagnosis, magnetic filter fitted and a light flush — didn't oversell a full power flush. Refreshing."
