Why do I need a water softener?

Well, London is notorious for hard water. Hard water is responsible for the the furry and floaty bits in your kettle. It cloggs up your dishwasher, your boiler, your pipes and leaves a nasty residue in your sink, bath and shower. A good water softening system will reduce your maintenance bills and extend the life of everything from your washing machine to your boiler.

So what do Multi-trade offer?

• Water softener supply and installation
• Water softeners for domestic and commercial environments
• Bespoke design and installation service for businesses
• Repairs and servicing to most makes of water softeners

The best water softening system?

Well, we've pretty much installed and repaired them all - Permutit, Twintec, Culligan and Harvey. And our favourite, for domestic use, is the Kinetico Water Softener. It's relatively cheap, small and very reliable. It fits neatly under most sinks and does a great job of softening water. But we will repair any brand of water softener.

What about commercial water softening systems?

Obviously, different businesses have different requirements and so we offer bespoke designs that match those requirements. We'll offer a professional installation and ongoing support. Call us and we'll send an engineer to give you a quotation.

Repairs and maintenance

We offer ongoing support and maintenance plans for both domestic and commercial water softening systems. We also service and repair older systems. We have expertise across most makes and model.

We pride ourselves on our open and honest pricing - there are no hidden charges and we even charge in 15 minute intervals after the first hour. You won't find many plumbing and drainage companies with a pricing policy like that! Take a look at our pricing list for a guide on how much you can expect to pay.

We also have a price comparison tool, that enables you to check our prices against our main competitors. For larger projects such drain repair, drain excavation or drain lining we can provide you with a fixed price and what's more, the quotation is free!
