What this covers
The full domestic plumbing remit, from a dripping tap to a full power flush
Our plumbing arm covers the day-to-day water and drainage work that keeps a Northamptonshire home running — emergency burst pipes and no-water call-outs, persistent leaks under floors and inside walls, blocked sinks and toilets, drainage that's started backing up outside, and circulating-water issues like cold radiators and pump failures that look like heating problems but are actually plumbing problems.
It's the right fit for homeowners, landlords and letting agents across NN17, NN18, NN14, NN15, NN16, LE15 and LE16 who want one named engineer rather than a national call centre. We also work with smaller commercial sites — village pubs, vets, salons and offices — where a single contained leak or a blocked WC means closing the doors until it's fixed.
When it's needed is rarely planned: a frozen pipe in February, a dishwasher waste blocking up before a dinner party, a hot-water cylinder that's stopped filling. We've built the business around being reachable on those calls, not just the easy ones.

The plumber locals keep on the fridge
Plumbing is a low-trust trade nationally — too many call-out fees, too many vague invoices, too many missed appointments. We've built Reactive to be the opposite of that: one named engineer, fixed prices wherever possible, and a real diary that doesn't overbook.
Our team has worked across Northamptonshire for decades, with every job overseen by an experienced lead engineer. That means the person quoting you is the person turning up — no handover, no surprises, no junior sub-contractor.
