In detail
What each job covers
Boiler Repair
Inspection of the boiler to identify the fault, replacement of faulty parts such as thermostats, valves or heating elements, pressure checks, and testing to confirm the boiler works safely.
When you need it. The boiler won't ignite, cuts out mid-cycle, loses pressure, makes unusual noises, or shows a fault code.
Before you get in touch. Note the boiler model and age if you know it. Check if the pilot light is lit. Look for any error codes displayed.
Emergency Leaks
Rapid attendance to locate the source of the leak, isolate the water supply if needed, make temporary or permanent repairs, and check for damage to pipes, joints or fittings.
When you need it. Water is actively leaking from pipes, joints, radiators, or visible from ceilings or walls.
Before you get in touch. Turn off the water supply at the stopcock. Mop up standing water. Note where the leak is coming from.
Drain Unblocking

Common questions
General guidance about plumbers in the UK, not specific to any one business.
What is a stopcock and where is it usually located?
A stopcock (or water shut-off valve) controls the mains water supply to a property. It is typically found under the kitchen sink, in a utility room, or in an external box at the boundary. Locating it before an emergency is essential.
Why does my boiler keep losing pressure?
Pressure loss usually indicates a small leak in the system, a faulty pressure relief valve, or issues with the expansion vessel. A gas engineer can identify the cause and make repairs. Frequent pressure loss means the system needs attention.
Can a blocked drain be cleared without digging up the garden?
Many blockages can be cleared mechanically using rods or water jetting from the access point. Drain cameras help identify the blockage location. Digging is only necessary if the pipe itself is damaged or collapsed.
What causes radiators to stay cold at the bottom?
Sludge or air trapped in the radiator prevents hot water from circulating properly. Radiators can be bled to release air or flushed to remove sludge. Regular system maintenance prevents this happening.
What should be done if there is a gas smell near a boiler?
Gas smells must be taken seriously. Do not use the boiler. Open windows for ventilation, leave the property, and contact a Gas Safe engineer immediately. A suspected gas leak is dangerous and requires professional inspection.
