About Copperline

Twenty-two years of other people’s emergencies

A local firm that grew almost entirely on being the one that turned up.

Our story

Built on the calls other firms would not take

Copperline started with one van, one plumber, and a decision to answer the phone at night when nobody else in town would. That is still most of why people call us.

We have grown, but the rule has not changed: the person who quotes the job is on it, the price does not move, and nobody is ever sold a new boiler when a repair would have done.

The team

Who turns up

Mark Ellery

Founder and lead plumber

Started with one van in 2004 and still takes the worst of the night calls himself.

Sipho Dlamini

Gas Safe engineer

Boilers and heating systems; the person we send when nobody else can find the fault.

Erin Kavanagh

Bathroom installations

Runs the bathroom fits end to end, from first measure to final seal.

How we work

Three rules we do not bend

Answer the phone

A person who can actually help, at whatever hour the pipe decided to go.

Say the price first

Nobody negotiates well standing in water. So the number comes before the work.

Recommend the cheaper fix

If a repair will see you right for another five years, we will say so.
