What we do in Exeter

SWW is based in Exeter, so this is home. We work right across the city, from the Victorian terraces of St Leonards, Heavitree and Newtown through to the newer estates out at Monkerton, Cranbrook and Pinhoe.

The older stock has its own problems. Solid walls, original pipework that has been added to five times by five different people, and boilers squeezed into cupboards that were never meant to hold one. The newer estates tend to be straightforward, right up until someone wants a second bathroom putting in.

Exeter is on the mains gas grid, so most homes here are looking at a gas boiler replacement rather than a heat pump. If you are one of the properties on the edge of the city that never got connected, that changes the maths, and we can talk you through it.

Services

Everything, including emergencies

Emergency plumbing

Burst pipes, bad leaks, no heating or hot water. Ring us and you will get a straight answer on how soon we can be there.

Boiler installation

New boilers and replacements in Exeter, fitted by Gas Safe registered engineers at a fixed price agreed before we start.

Boiler servicing & repair

Annual services, breakdowns and repairs. A serviced boiler burns less gas and is far less likely to pack up in January.

Air source heat pumps

Installed with the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant taken off the quote before you pay. £7,500, or £9,000 for eligible off-gas-grid homes from 21 July 2026.

Air conditioning

F-Gas qualified installation and servicing. Modern units are heat pumps, so they warm a room in winter as well as cooling it in summer.

Bathroom installation

Full bathrooms in Exeter. Plumbing, tiling, electrics and finishing by one team, at one price.

Landlord gas certificates

Annual CP12 certificates for landlords, agents and holiday lets, with reminders before they expire.

Power flushing

Clearing sludge out of the system so the radiators actually warm up and the boiler stops working so hard.

Local knowledge

Soft water, so it is rarely limescale

One thing worth knowing about Devon: the water here is soft. That means the limescale problems that wreck boilers and immersion heaters across the south east are far less of an issue for us.

So when an Exeter boiler starts losing pressure, kettling or cutting out, it is usually something else, and anyone reaching straight for a descaler is guessing. We diagnose the actual fault before we quote to fix it.

Good to know

Exeter FAQs

Are you actually based in Exeter?

Yes. SWW is an Exeter business, which is why we can get to an emergency here quickly rather than promising to be with you at some point next week.

Do you cover the newer estates like Cranbrook and Monkerton?

Yes, and we do a lot of work out there. New build plumbing, second bathrooms, en-suites and the odd bit of putting right where the original install was rushed.

How quickly can you get to an emergency in Exeter?

Faster than almost anywhere else on our patch, because it is on our doorstep. Ring us and we will give you a straight answer rather than a vague promise.
