Advice on improving water efficiency
Regular servicing helps prevent costly emergencies and keeps your plumbing system running efficiently.
Common Plumbing Repairs We Handle
Even the best-maintained systems can develop faults. Here are the most common issues we resolve:
1. Leaking Pipes
Burst or leaking pipes are a serious hazard, often caused by frozen water, corrosion, or joint failure.
2. Blocked Drains or Toilets
Slow drainage, unpleasant odours or gurgling sounds indicate partial or full blockages.
3. Dripping Taps
A common problem that wastes water and can lead to higher bills—usually caused by worn washers or cartridges.
4. Faulty Toilets
Whether constantly running or not flushing at all, we repair all internal mechanisms.
5. Low Water Pressure
Often caused by limescale, valve issues or leaks. We pinpoint the cause and restore flow.
6. Hot Water Problems
We diagnose and fix hot water issues, whether caused by your boiler, immersion heater or pipework.

How to Know When You Need a Plumber
Not every issue demands an immediate callout. But here are some signs you should never ignore:

A sudden drop in water pressure
-
Discoloured water from taps
-
Persistent drain odours

A toilet that won’t stop running

No hot water when the boiler is working

Tips to Prevent Common Plumbing Issues
-
Don’t pour grease down the sink – it hardens and blocks pipes.
-
Use drain guards – they catch hair and debris.
-
Check your stopcock regularly – make sure it turns.
-
Lag your pipes in winter to prevent freezing.
-
Fix small leaks early – they rarely fix themselves.
Prevention is always better than cure—and cheaper, too.
