Appointment information with Lacey Plumbing & Heating
We love to chat to customers, so the best way to get in touch is by calling us on: 0161 884 1110. Your time is also precious though so you can also contact us via email here, by clicking the get in touch page on our site, via Facebook Messenger, Instagram and on our Google My Business page.
If it’s an emergency a call is always the best way for us to help you with your plumbing and heating issue as quickly as possible.
We split our appointment times as a morning (8am – 12pm) or an afternoon (12pm – 5pm) appointment, with our engineers arriving any time between those hours. The reason we do this is due to the nature of the work that we do – sometimes jobs run over the scheduled time.
Don’t worry though we will always communicate with you on any delays that might happen. We will try to accommodate around your times the best we can.
To meet one of the Lacey’s team to discuss your plumbing and heating requirements and receive the best advice call us on 0161 884 1110 or email us. One of our friendly team members will book you an appointment at a mutually convenient time.
Lacey Plumbing and Heating’s opening hours are Monday to Thursday, 8:00am – 5pm and Friday 8:00am – 4:30pm. If you call outside of these hours we will do our best to get in touch as soon as we are open. For existing customers we offer an emergency service by leaving a voice message which is monitored outside of hours by one of the team.
Absolutely! All customers are welcome to come to visit the Lacey Plumbing team at our office based in Radcliffe, Bury. We don’t have a showroom but we do love to meet customers face to face.
We do have office dogs who are sometimes in the office. If you don’t like dogs please let us know and we’ll keep them out of the way for your visit.
When we book you for a quote or job, we will record your full name and address and the issue that you are calling about. We also take your contact telephone number and email address so that we can send you a text message and email confirmation of your appointment times and written quotations.
We also process all our payments via email.
If you have your boiler serviced annually we will send you a reminder by text, phone and email annually.
We don’t charge a call out fee for just attending your home or business. We do however have a minimum ‘aim to fix’ charge. When we attend your home or business, we’ll ‘aim to fix’ your issue within the hour for a set fee plus materials. This is currently £96.00. All our costs include VAT unless stated (e.g for a business). If our engineer attends to your problem and within the first 10 minutes he thinks it’s going to be more costly than our standard charge he will ‘down tools’ and call the office.
We charge the ‘aim to fix’ as a one-hour minimum charge and then in 30-minute increments going forward. We would prefer to give you a fixed quotation and will endeavour to do this. However, in some emergency plumbing and heating situations, this isn’t always possible. This will be explained in person and followed up in writing.
Please see the section on charges for a list of our most common charges.
For larger jobs we take a 50% deposit with the remaining 50% fee due on completion.
For all other Lacey Plumbing and Heating jobs, payment is due on completion of works. You can pay our engineer directly or call the office before the engineer leaves and make a payment over the phone.
You will receive an invoice on completion which has our bank details on and a link to pay by card. You are welcome to pay by bank transfer.
We only accept cheques in exceptional circumstances.
