PROBLEMS WE SOLVE
A clear four-step path.
From your first call, we assess the blockage, explain the likely cause, and recommend the right solution before work begins. Our team then clears the drain safely and efficiently, checks the surrounding pipework for underlying issues, and completes a final flow test to make sure everything is working properly before we leave.
INSPECT THE FIXTURE
We check the tap or fitting and the accessible connections around it.
IDENTIFY THE FAULT
We determine whether the issue is wear, a seal, cartridge, connection or fixture failure.
REPAIR OR REPLACE
We explain the practical options before carrying out the agreed work.
TEST OPERATION
We check for leaks and confirm the fixture operates correctly.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
USEFUL ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BOOK.
Questions vary by property. These are the practical starting points we cover most often.
CAN A DRIPPING TAP USUALLY BE REPAIRED?
Often, yes. The correct repair depends on the type of tap and which internal component has worn. We inspect it first and advise whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
CAN YOU REPLACE MY TAP IF I ALREADY BOUGHT ONE?
In many cases, yes, provided the fixture is suitable for the existing plumbing and installation. We can check compatibility before installation.
WHY IS WATER LEAKING AROUND THE BASE OF MY MIXER?
Several components or connections can cause leakage around a mixer. We need to inspect the fixture to identify the source rather than assuming it is only a washer.
CAN YOU REPAIR OUTDOOR TAPS?
Yes. We can inspect leaking or damaged outdoor taps and repair or replace them where appropriate.
DO YOU INSTALL NEW BATHROOM AND KITCHEN FIXTURES?
Yes. We can install suitable plumbing fixtures and connect them to the existing plumbing as part of a repair, upgrade or renovation.
