Company Profile

Dripbusters Ltd is a plumbing and electrical company based in Lincoln.  The company was founded by Keiran, a qualified plumber, electrician and engineering graduate.  Dripbusters Ltd has continually grown each year since it was formed, due to what we believe is our offering of great customer service at competitive prices.

We are happy to quote for any job from a tap replacement to a full house re-plumbing project (we've done both of them and lots of jobs in between).

Since we started trading we've built up a large customer base who keep using us.  We undertake all of the following work: -

Bathroom installations, project managed from start to completion.  Tiling, we are happy to tile with stone, ceramic or porcelain - all work completed to British Standards. Electrical work, all domestic electrical work undertaken. Emergency plumbing, we offer a 24 hour service - if you need us quickly, call us on our mobile and we will get to you as soon as we can. All of our work comes with a 2 year warranty (details in writing on our website).

To summarise, there's nothing we can't help you with as far as plumbing, electrical work and tiling are concerned.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Keiran Ashcroft, Dripbusters Ltd

Installed bathroom suite and plumbing and tiled walls.

Having removed a partition wall between a bathroom and toliet I soon found that the job of installing the bathroom and undertaking all of the tiling was beyond me. Keiran provided a very competetive quote and was able to fit the work that was asked of him around some DIY that I felt was within my limited capabilities. Keiran removed all of the old bathroom suite and prepared the room ready for installation work. The next step of moving water and radiator pipes showed Keiran's eye for detail and his impressively high standards of workmanship. A number of delays were encountered due to problems with some of the fixtures that I had bought. Keiran was patient while I sorted the problems and his flexibility allowed him to return promptly to allow work to continue. The bath, shower, toilet, basin and bath screen were all expertly fitted. With a particularly tricky room to tile, Keiran dealt with the more problematic areas for me and without his expertise I would have emptied the DIY store of the tiles that I had chosen! The work now complete I could not be happier with Keiran's work. Throughout he was courteous, polite, always on time and highly professional. I could not rate him highly enough and I would certainly have no hesitation whatsoever recommending him.

Repair shower fixture/fitting/pipes and tiles

Kieran visited us to give us a quote for the work to be carried out and agreed a date. He arrived on the day exactly on time and was polite and friendly at all times, he explained what he was going to do and kept us fully informed throughout. We realised during the job that a further part would be required to fit the shower fixing correctly and Kieran contacted the shower company to arrange the delivery of the part. He did this while my husband was present so that we would not feel that it was just the usual "plumbers ploy". He kept us informed by e-mail of the progress in getting the part, which came some days later and once received came back and completed the job very quickly. We were not overcharged for the part or the extra time. He was very tidy and cleared away any debris. He did an excellent job and we will be using him for some further work in the next couple of months and we have recommended him to friends.

Full re-wiring and re-plumbing of bungalow

This is first time we've ever had any work like this done so, naturally we called in a few different tradesman to get a feel for whats out there. We chose Dripbuster ltd because Keiran seemed like such a genuine bloke, he could do both plumbing and electrics and his quote weren't half bad either! We're so glad we went with him, he was always on time and did a really good job. Even the plasterer commented on what a neat job he made of the new pipes and wall chases. Keiran was in the house over a period of about 3 weeks but it never felt too stressful. He went out of his way to work around us and we always felt comfortable in what could have been a very uncomfortable situation. Couldn't recommend him enough!
