In detail

What each job covers

Boiler Repair

Plumber visits to identify why boiler has stopped working or is not heating water. Tests components, replaces faulty parts like thermostats or gas valves, clears blockages, and restores the system.

When you need it. Boiler won't fire up, produces no hot water, makes unusual noises, or pressure drops repeatedly.

Before you get in touch. Check the thermostat setting and boiler display panel for error codes. Note when the problem started.

Emergency Leaks

Plumber locates source of leak from burst pipe, faulty joint or cracked fitting. Isolates the water, makes emergency repair or temporary seal, and arranges permanent fix.

When you need it. Water spraying from pipes, pooling under floors or dripping from ceilings, or dampness appearing suddenly.

Before you get in touch. Find the water stopcock and turn it off. Move furniture away from the leak. Note the location and type.

Drain Unblocking

Plumber uses drain rods or plunging to dislodge blockages in waste pipes. For stubborn clogs, uses drain cleaner or camera to identify the cause before clearing.

When you need it. Sink, bath or toilet drains slowly or backs up. Unpleasant smells from drains or gurgling noises.

Before you get in touch. Note which drains are affected. For toilets, do not keep flushing. Try a plunger if you have one.

Central Heating

Plumber installs new radiators and pipes, refits or upgrades pump, thermostat and control systems. Includes bleeding air from radiators and commissioning the system.

When you need it. Radiators don't heat evenly, some rooms stay cold, or replacing an old heating system.

Before you get in touch. Measure room sizes and note the existing boiler type. Have any sketches of the current layout ready.

Bathroom Fitting

Plumber removes old suite and installs new bath, shower, toilet and basin. Fits pipes, seals joints, tests drainage and water supply, and ensures all fixtures are level and secure.

When you need it. Planning a bathroom renovation or upgrading old, cracked or leaking fixtures.

Before you get in touch. Have measurements and photos of the space. Know the style and colour of new suite you want fitted.

General Plumbing

Plumber installs, repairs or replaces taps, pipe work, isolation valves, stopcocks and other system components. Includes testing for leaks and correct water pressure.

When you need it. Taps drip or spray, pipes rattle, water pressure is low, or you need new pipework for an extension.

Before you get in touch. Identify which tap or pipe is affected. Check if water is cold only or affects hot and cold alike.

Good to know

Common questions

General guidance about plumbers in the UK, not specific to any one business.

How do I find my water stopcock?

The stopcock is usually under the kitchen sink, in the garage or utility room, or beneath a cover in the front garden. Turn it clockwise to shut off water to the house in emergencies.

What causes uneven heating in radiators?

Radiators often trap air pockets at the top, reducing the area that heats. Bleeding air from the bleed valve at the radiator's top restores full heat output.

Can a plumber install a new boiler?

Only an engineer registered with the gas safety regulator may legally work on gas boilers. A plumber can install pipes, water connections and heating system components around a new boiler.

What should I do if a pipe bursts?

Turn off the water at the stopcock immediately. Turn off the heating and open taps to drain remaining water. Call for urgent repair. Place towels or buckets under the leak to limit damage.

Why does my drain smell?

Slow drains trap debris, soap and hair which decompose, producing odour. Regular flushing with boiling water helps. Persistent smells suggest a blockage deeper in the pipe that needs clearing.

How often should central heating be serviced?

Most systems benefit from annual maintenance before winter to check pressure, bleed radiators and ensure efficiency. Older boilers may need more frequent checks to maintain safe operation.
