Reliable plumbers covering Grays

If you’ve got a leak under the kitchen sink, a tap that won’t stop dripping, or a blocked drain that’s started to smell, you don’t want to be hunting around for a plumber.

Horndon Services is based just down the road in Horndon-on-the-Hill, and Grays is one of our core areas. We can usually be with you the same day for routine work and faster than that for emergencies.

We’re a fully Gas Safe registered firm with over 400 five-star Google reviews built up over years of doing the job properly the first time. No callout charges hidden in the small print, no surprise invoices at the end, and no subcontractors — when you book us, one of our own engineers turns up.

What we do

We cover the full range of domestic plumbing work for homes in Grays.

Leaks and water leak detection

Leaks are the calls we get most. Sometimes it’s obvious – a visible drip under a basin or a wet patch on a ceiling. Sometimes it’s hidden, and you only notice because your water meter is spinning when nothing’s switched on, or the floor in one room is suspiciously warm. We use proper acoustic and thermal detection equipment to find leaks without ripping up half the house, then fix the pipework cleanly. If your water bills have crept up for no reason, that’s worth a phone call.

Blocked drains and waste pipes

Slow-draining sinks, gurgling toilets, blocked shower trays, smells coming up from the gulley outside. We carry rods, augers, and high-pressure jetting equipment in the van so most blockages are cleared on the first visit.

Taps, valves and stop taps

A dripping tap can waste over 5,000 litres of water a year. We replace taps, monobloc mixers, and isolating valves, and we’ll happily replace a seized stop tap so you can actually shut your water off in an emergency.

Bathroom plumbing

Whether you’re refitting an entire bathroom or just swapping a basin or toilet, we handle the plumbing side cleanly. We can work alongside builders and tilers if you need a full project managed, or just do our bit if you’ve got the rest covered.

Emergency plumbing

Burst pipes, major leaks, no water at all. We try to keep slots free for genuine emergencies in the Grays area, and we’ll be straight with you on the phone about how soon we can be there.

How we work

You call or book online. We give you an honest estimate of when we can get there. A Gas Safe registered engineer turns up in a branded van, takes a proper look at the job, and quotes you a fixed price before any work starts. If the job turns out smaller, you pay less. If it turns out bigger, we tell you before we carry on, not after.

Heating and boilers in Grays

If your call is actually about a boiler, a leak from the boiler itself, no hot water, pressure dropping, a service due, we cover that side too. There’s a separate page on boiler repairs in Grays with the detail, plus pages on boiler servicing and new boiler installations.
