Plumber & Heating Engineer in Leicester

Plumbing & Heating Services Across Leicester

Leicester is a city with a rich history and a diverse, densely populated urban core. The city's housing ranges from the Victorian terraced streets of Highfields and Belgrave to the Edwardian and inter-war semis of Oadby and Wigston, the large family homes of Stoneygate, and the growing volume of new-build properties on the outskirts of the city. EMCO Plumbing covers all of Leicester and Leicestershire, with engineers based in and around the city for fast response times.

Our Leicester service area includes the city itself and the surrounding Leicestershire districts — Oadby, Wigston, Blaby, Charnwood (including Loughborough), Harborough, and Hinckley and Bosworth. We also cover parts of Rutland to the east.

Water Hardness in Leicester

Leicester sits in a hard water area, supplied predominantly from surface water with significant chalk and limestone mineral content. Hard water is one of the primary causes of boiler inefficiency and premature failure — limescale forms on the heat exchanger surfaces and, over time, acts as an insulator that forces the boiler to work harder to achieve the same heat output. We fit magnetic system filters and recommend water softener installation for all new boiler installations in Leicester as a matter of standard practice.

Leicester Landlords

Leicester has a substantial rental sector, driven partly by the University of Leicester and De Montfort University. The primary student rental areas — Clarendon Park, Highfields, Stoneygate — have high concentrations of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) that require annual CP12 inspections. We provide same-day gas safety certificates for landlords across Leicester and offer annual servicing agreements with portfolio pricing.
