FINDING THE CAUSE

What Do We Check When Your Plumbing Goes Wrong?

A running toilet or dripping tap does not always mean the whole fitting needs replacing. We inspect the reported problem and the relevant connections, valves and components before recommending a repair or replacement.

The checks depend on the fitting, access and symptoms. If we need to open up an area to reach concealed pipework, we explain the access and any making good before the work is agreed.

BEFORE YOU CONTACT US

Help Us Understand Your Plumbing Job

A few details help us prepare for your visit and check which fittings or parts may be needed.

For an active leak, turn off the water at the stopcock if you can reach and operate it safely. Keep clear of water near electrical fittings and tell us whether you have managed to isolate the supply.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT NEXT STEP

Repair Your Plumbing Or Fit Something New?

We explain whether an existing fitting can be repaired or whether replacement would be more practical. Planning a larger project? Explore our bathroom renovation services. For boiler faults or loss of heating, see our boiler repairs and heating breakdowns page.

Repair The Existing Fitting

A repair may be suitable when the fitting is in reasonable condition and the right replacement component is available. That could mean changing a washer, cartridge, valve, seal or waste fitting.

  • Identify and address the specific fault
  • Check suitable spare parts and repair cost
  • Test operation after the agreed repair

Replace Or Install New Plumbing

If a tap, toilet or shower is worn out, difficult to repair or no longer suits your room, we can quote for a replacement. We also install new water supplies, wastes and connections for planned improvements.

  • Check fitting compatibility and access
  • Discuss supplied fittings or supply and fit
  • Provide an installation quotation
