Which? Trusted Trader — independently vetted & approvedWest London has some of the hardest water in the country. A properly installed water softener protects your boiler, pipes and appliances from limescale — and leaves skin, hair and glassware noticeably better.
Based in Brentford TW8 — fast response across West London.
Limescale builds up inside boilers, cylinders, taps and appliances, shortening their life and quietly pushing up your energy bills. A water softener removes the calcium and magnesium that cause scale, protecting everything downstream and keeping your heating system running efficiently.
We size the softener to your household, plumb it in neatly — usually under the kitchen sink, or in a garage or utility near the incoming main — and keep a separate hard-water tap for drinking. Set up once, it simply works.
West London sits in one of the hardest water areas in the country. That limescale furs up your boiler and heat exchanger, shortens the life of washing machines and dishwashers, blocks showerheads, dulls glassware and leaves that familiar chalky residue everywhere — and it's tougher on skin and hair too.
A water softener removes the calcium and magnesium that cause scale through ion exchange, so scale simply stops forming. Your heating runs more efficiently, appliances last longer, cleaning gets easier, and showers feel noticeably softer.
We fit softeners neatly — usually near your stopcock or in a kitchen cupboard or garage — and keep a hard, unsoftened supply to your drinking tap. Upkeep is simply topping up the salt now and then; we'll show you how and recommend the right unit for your household size. Prefer purer drinking water too? Pair it with a drinking water filter.
Gas leak, burst pipe or no heating? We're available around the clock.
