Not sure which category your problem falls into? It does not matter. Describe what is happening in your own words and we will look for an available local plumber — or use the pages below if you would rather read up on the specific job first.
Plumbing repairs range from a five-minute washer change to tracing a leak under a solid floor, and the useful advice is different for each. Rather than repeating it all here, each of the pages below covers one type of job properly: the warning signs, what you can safely do yourself, and what the repair usually involves.
If none of them quite fits — a shower that has lost pressure, a washing machine connection that leaks, a waste pipe that keeps blocking, an outside tap that needs moving — send it in anyway. There is no list of jobs you have to pick from.
Vofix is a matching service that connects customers with independent local plumbers. The plumber will confirm availability, pricing and the scope of work directly with you before work begins.
You tell us the postcode, the problem and a number to reach you on. We look through the local plumbers in the Vofix network for someone who covers your area and takes on that kind of work, and we make the introduction. From there the quote, the appointment and the work itself are between you and the plumber. Using Vofix is free and there is no obligation to book.
Some work needs specific qualifications — gas appliances, unvented hot water cylinders and certain notifiable work. Describe the fault as you see it and the enquiry can be pointed at an appropriately qualified trade.

Availability varies by area and by day, so attendance is always subject to plumber availability. Vofix does not set or control the prices plumbers charge.

No. Describe the symptoms — where the water is, what is not working, when it started — and leave the diagnosis to the plumber. Guessing at a cause sometimes sends a job to the wrong trade.
Yes, and it is often more economical. List everything in the job description so the plumber can price the whole visit rather than attending twice.
We focus on domestic plumbing and heating work across Nottinghamshire. Drainage beyond the property, gas appliance repairs and electrical work need specialist trades — we will say so rather than sending the wrong person.
It depends entirely on the job, but our price guide gives typical Midlands figures for call-outs, hourly rates and the most common repairs so you have a reference point before anyone quotes.
