What's included
Your free home water assessment covers:
- Water hardness and limescale check
- A look at your household's water usage
- Your existing plumbing and any current filtration
- Your priorities - laundry, drinking water, appliances
- A recommendation matched to your home, with clear pricing
Your mains water is safe. UK mains water is already treated and regulated, whatever your local water hardness. We're not here to tell you your tap water is dangerous - we're here to help with hardness, limescale, taste and specific filtration needs where they actually matter to you.
Local water
Hard Water in Hull, Beverley & East Yorkshire.
East Yorkshire is naturally prone to hard water because of the area's underlying geology. Hard water isn't normally a safety concern, but the minerals responsible can contribute to limescale around taps, showers, sinks, kettles and household appliances.
We hear about this regularly from homeowners in Hull, Beverley, Cottingham, Hessle, Willerby, Hedon and the surrounding East Yorkshire villages. Exact hardness varies by water supply and postcode, so rather than quote a single figure for the whole region, we test your actual water as part of a free home assessment and explain what it means for your home.

Understanding your options
What Does Your Home Actually Need?
Different systems solve different problems. Here's the difference between the main options, so you can see roughly where your home might fit before we test your water properly.
Purpose
Sediment Filtration
Reduces particulate matter such as sediment or rust particles, where appropriate for the property's supply.
Purpose
Carbon Filtration
Primarily improves taste and odour, and can reduce chlorine and certain organic compounds depending on the specific cartridge or system.
Purpose
Reverse Osmosis
Produces highly filtered drinking water that can remove a very large proportion of dissolved substances.
Reverse osmosis is normally better suited to a dedicated drinking-water application - for example, a tap at the kitchen sink - rather than treating the entire house.
Most homes end up with a combination rather than a single system - for example a softener for the whole house plus carbon or RO filtration just for drinking water. There's no system that's universally "best" - it depends on what's actually bothering you about your water, which is exactly what the free assessment is for.
Packages
Water Softener & Water Treatment Packages.
Every home is different. We assess your water hardness, household size, water usage and existing plumbing before recommending the right system - the packages below are a guide to what's typically involved, not a fixed price list.
Typical investment: £1,795–£4,495
Prices shown are provisional launch prices, not fixed costs. Every home is different - we assess your water hardness, household size, water usage and existing plumbing before recommending the right system and confirming final pricing.
Our approach
Straightforward Water Treatment. No Scare Tactics.
- UK mains water is already treated and regulated.
- We don't tell customers their tap water is dangerous simply to sell equipment.
- Different treatment systems solve different problems - we won't recommend more than your home needs.
- We recommend treatment based on your actual requirements, identified during your free assessment.
- You get clear pricing before any work begins.
- Sometimes the right recommendation is that you don't need a system at all - if that's the honest answer, that's what we'll tell you.
Installation
Professionally Installed.
We handle the consultation, system selection, customer communication and project management for your water treatment installation. The plumbing and water-fitting work itself is carried out by appropriately qualified professionals.
Fully insured, locally coordinated
As with all East Yorkshire Renovations projects, you get one point of contact managing the job from first visit to handover.

We'll replace these with genuine before/after photography as real jobs are completed - see the file-naming convention in the HTML comments for anyone doing that later.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Water Softeners & Water Treatment.
What is hard water?
Hard water contains higher levels of dissolved minerals, mainly calcium and magnesium, picked up as it passes through rock such as chalk and limestone. It's common across Hull and East Yorkshire because of the local geology.
Is hard water safe to drink?
Yes. Hard water is safe to drink. UK mains water is treated and regulated regardless of hardness - hardness is about mineral content and limescale, not water safety.
What causes limescale?
Limescale forms when the calcium and magnesium in hard water are left behind as water evaporates or is heated, building up on taps, kettles, shower screens and inside appliances and pipework over time.
Do I need a water softener?
It depends on how hard your water supply is and how much the resulting limescale bothers you. A free home assessment can confirm your water hardness and whether a softener would help.
What's the difference between a water softener and a water filter?
A water softener specifically targets hardness by reducing calcium and magnesium, which cuts limescale. "Water filter" is a broader term for systems that improve taste, odour, or remove particular substances, and doesn't necessarily soften the water.
What does a carbon water filter do?
Carbon filtration is mainly used to improve taste and odour, and can reduce chlorine and certain organic compounds depending on the specific cartridge or system.
What is reverse osmosis?
Reverse osmosis (RO) pushes water through a fine membrane to remove a very large proportion of dissolved substances, producing highly filtered drinking water. It's normally installed as a dedicated system for drinking and cooking water rather than for the whole house.
Can a water softener supply the whole house?
Yes, a water softener is typically plumbed into the mains supply so it treats water throughout the property. Some households choose to leave an unsoftened tap for outdoor or garden use.
Can I still have normal drinking water?
Yes. Softened water is safe to drink. If you'd prefer a dedicated drinking-water tap alongside a softener, that can be included as part of a system.
How much does a water-treatment system cost?
It depends on the system and your property. Our current packages are provisional launch prices ranging from £1,795 for a professionally installed softening solution up to £4,495 for our most comprehensive whole-home and drinking-water package - exact costs are confirmed after a free home assessment.
How long does installation take?
Installation time depends on the system chosen and your existing plumbing. We'll confirm an estimated timeframe as part of your free assessment and quote.
How often does a system need servicing?
This varies by system and manufacturer guidance. We'll confirm a recommended servicing schedule for your specific setup as part of the handover.
How often does a water softener need salt?
This depends on your household's water usage and the size of the softener, so it varies from home to home. We'll talk you through what to expect for your system.
Do water filters need replacing?
Yes, filter cartridges have a limited lifespan and need periodic replacement. How often depends on the type of filter and your water usage.
Do you cover Hull?
Yes, we cover Hull as part of our East Yorkshire water treatment service.
Do you cover Beverley?
Yes, we cover Beverley and the surrounding area.
Do you cover Cottingham?
Yes, we cover Cottingham.
Do you cover Hessle?
Yes, we cover Hessle.
Do you cover Willerby?
Yes, we cover Willerby and the surrounding area.
Do you cover wider East Yorkshire?
