In detail
What each job covers
Boiler Repair
Inspecting the boiler and controls, diagnosing faults, replacing failed parts such as thermostats, pumps or heat exchangers, testing the repair, and restoring full heating and hot water.
When you need it. When the boiler fails to ignite, cuts out during use, produces no hot water, or shows fault codes on the control panel.
Before you get in touch. Note the boiler make and model, any error codes displayed, and when the fault began. Check the pilot light if visible.
Emergency Leaks
Locating the source of the leak, isolating the supply or affected section, carrying out temporary or permanent repairs, and restoring water supply once the job is complete.
When you need it. When a pipe bursts, a joint leaks, water drips from ceilings or walls, or pooling appears under floorboards or in the yard.
Before you get in touch. Find and turn off the water shut-off valve. Switch off the boiler if water is escaping. Catch dripping water if possible.
Drain Unblocking
Clearing obstructions from kitchen sinks, bathrooms, showers, external gullies and main drains using rods, jets or specialist equipment. Restoring full drainage.
When you need it. When water drains slowly or not at all, sewage backs up into the property, or gurgling sounds come from pipes and drains.
Before you get in touch. Note which drains are affected and when blockages started. Do not use chemical drain cleaners before the engineer arrives.
Central Heating
Installing or upgrading radiators, pipework, thermostats and controls, flushing systems, commissioning boilers, balancing circuits, and testing full operation for even heat throughout.
When you need it. When rooms heat unevenly, radiators stay cold at the bottom, the system needs upgrading, or new heating is required in extensions.
Before you get in touch. Measure rooms to be heated. Note existing boiler type and age. Identify any cold spots or radiators that underperform.
Bathroom Fitting
Removing old suite and fittings, preparing walls and floors, installing bath or shower tray, connecting pipework, fitting taps and wastes, tiling, and final testing of water supply and drainage.
When you need it. When upgrading a tired bathroom, replacing damaged suites, modernising layout, or adding an en-suite or new bathroom to the home.
Before you get in touch. Have bathroom designs or product specifications ready. Confirm water and drainage points. Measure the space and check access routes.
General Plumbing
Repairing or replacing taps, valves, ball cocks, overflows, supply pipes and waste fittings throughout the property. Soldering copper joints, threading pipe, and testing for leaks.
When you need it. When taps drip, ball valves stick or jam, overflow pipes leak, supply pipes freeze, or connections work loose and cause dampness.
Before you get in touch. Identify which fitting is faulty and note any recent damage or age-related wear. Turn off the relevant isolating valve if known.

Good to know
Common questions
General guidance about plumbers in the UK, not specific to any one business.
Do I need a plumber or can I fix a leaking tap myself?
A dripping tap is often fixable with a new washer or cartridge, but tools and know-how vary. If the leak is under the sink, the pipework connection may need attention. A plumber can diagnose and repair it quickly and correctly.
How often should a boiler be serviced?
An annual service is recommended, usually before winter. It checks safety, clears debris, tests controls, and catches worn parts before they fail. A well-maintained boiler runs reliably and maintains efficiency.
What causes a drain to block?
Hair, soap scum, food waste, grease, and tree roots are common culprits. In kitchens, fat and food debris accumulate. In bathrooms, hair binds with soap. Older clay pipes may collapse. Clearing needs specialist tools or chemicals.
Why is my radiator cold at the bottom?
Sludge and debris accumulate at the bottom, blocking flow. Bleeding the radiator releases trapped air, but persistent cold spots mean the system needs flushing to remove corrosion and restore even heat distribution.
What is the difference between a new boiler installation and a replacement?
Installation means new pipework, controls and flue from scratch. Replacement reuses existing connections and flue, making it quicker and cheaper. An engineer assesses what is practical and safe for your property.
Should I use chemical drain cleaners?
Chemical cleaners can damage old pipes, create toxic fumes, and may not clear stubborn blockages. They also make later work hazardous for engineers. Mechanical clearing with rods or jets is safer and more effective.
