A quick look at the usual culprits.
Helpful background before you call — so you know roughly what is going on with your plumbing.
Leaking tap
Usually a worn washer, seized cartridge or damaged seat. Steve will identify the cause and either service the tap or replace the internals.
Running toilet
Often a failed fill valve or worn flush syphon. A quick replacement usually restores a proper flush and stops water being wasted.
Low water pressure
Can be caused by partially closed valves, a blocked filter, scale in the pipework or an issue at the incoming main. Steve works through it systematically.
Leaking radiator valve
Compression joints and TRV bodies can weep over time. In most cases a valve can be replaced without draining the whole heating system.
Burst pipe
Isolate the water supply at the stopcock and call Steve. Where possible he will attend the same day, cap the pipe and carry out a proper repair.
Blocked sink
Cleared using appropriate tools rather than harsh chemicals wherever possible. If the trap or waste is damaged Steve will replace it neatly.
Overflowing cistern
Usually a failed float or fill valve inside the cistern. A straightforward repair once the right part is fitted.
Noisy pipework
Water hammer, loose clips and airlocks are the usual culprits. Steve traces the noise and quietens the system.
