In detail
What each job covers
Boiler Repair
Boiler diagnosis to identify the fault, repair or replacement of faulty components, testing and verification that heating and hot water are working correctly.
When you need it. Boiler won't ignite, produces no heat, makes unusual noises, leaks water or the pilot light goes out.
Before you get in touch. Check if the boiler is switched on and the thermostat is set correctly. Note any error codes.
Emergency Leaks
Finding the leak source, stopping water flow with isolation valves or temporary repair, removing water and assessing damage before permanent fixing.
When you need it. A pipe bursts, joint leaks, ceiling or wall is dripping water, or pooling water appears under floorboards.
Before you get in touch. Locate the main stopcock and turn the water supply off to minimise further damage.
Drain Unblocking
Identifying blockage location and cause, clearing the obstruction using rods or other methods, flushing the drain clean and checking flow restores.
When you need it. Water backs up in a sink, bath or toilet, drains slowly, gurgles or smells foul.
Before you get in touch. Remove any visible debris from the drain opening. Note which drains are affected.
Central Heating
Planning system layout, installing or replacing radiators and pipework, commissioning boiler and controls, balancing radiators and testing throughout.
When you need it. Rooms stay cold despite the boiler running, radiators are lukewarm or only hot at the top, or a new system is needed.
Before you get in touch. Have measurements or plans of rooms ready. List radiators that are not heating properly.
Bathroom Fitting
Removing old suite and tiles, installing new pipework and drainage, fitting bath or shower tray, installing suite and taps, tiling and sealing.
When you need it. Bathroom suite is old or damaged, leaks are developing, or a redesign and upgrade is planned.

Common questions
General guidance about plumbers in the UK, not specific to any one business.
Why is my radiator cold at the bottom but hot at the top?
Air trapped in the radiator blocks water circulation. Radiators need bleeding to release trapped air and restore full heat output. Bleeding is a simple maintenance task.
Can I use a plunger on a blocked toilet?
A plunger works for minor blockages near the bowl. A firm plunge creates pressure to shift the obstruction. If that fails, the blockage is deeper and professional unblocking is needed.
What causes a pipe to burst in winter?
Water in pipes freezes when exposed to extreme cold. Ice expands and splits the pipe wall. Pipes in unheated spaces, external walls and lofts freeze first.
Why does my tap aerator keep blocking?
Sediment, rust and minerals accumulate in the mesh filter inside the aerator. Regular cleaning keeps flow strong. Replacing the aerator is quick and inexpensive.
How often should a boiler be serviced?
Annual boiler servicing is recommended to maintain efficiency and safety. Service checks for gas leaks, carbon monoxide risk, wear on parts and cleaning of components.
What is a stopcock and why do I need to find mine?
The stopcock is the main water shut-off valve controlling water supply to the property. Knowing its location allows shutting off water instantly in emergencies like burst pipes.
