    Very reasonable price. I was always kept up to date with reminders for visits which was handy. They managed to fit me in at short notice and were able to attend multiple times to fit in with the removal of old and fitting out of new kitchen. Andy the plumber did a great job. Would definitely use the service again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Top Causes of Plumbing Problems

 Looking to avoid common plumbing problems?

Have you ever discovered a leak under your sink after it’s already damaged your cabinet?

By steering clear of these common plumbing pitfalls, you can reduce your utility bills and cut down on costly, frequent repairs.

 

Don’t Delay Plumbing Repairs

Even a small leak in your bathroom sink might seem minor and easy to ignore, but leaving it unattended can quickly lead to bigger problems. Over time, a simple drip can damage your pipes, cabinets, and wooden fixtures.

That seemingly small leak can also result in:

  • Higher water bills as wasted water adds up.
  • Reduced indoor air quality due to mold or mildew growth. Contaminated air is a leading environmental health risk, potentially causing headaches, fatigue, dry skin, runny eyes, and issues for allergy or asthma sufferers.
  • Structural damage to your home if water continues to seep into surrounding areas.

Addressing a leak promptly helps prevent these issues and keeps repair costs far lower than if you wait until the problem worsens.

 

Don’t Throw Food Waste in the Drain

It might be tempting to rinse leftover food down the drain, but this can lead to plumbing problems over time. Foods like coffee grounds, tea leaves, and fibrous scraps don’t break down easily and can build up, causing clogs. Pouring grease or oil down the sink can also solidify and block your pipes, leading to costly repairs.

 

Don’t Wash Hair Down the Drain

Even small amounts of hair from shaving over the sink or washing down the shower can combine with grease, soap, and other debris to create serious drain blockages. To prevent this, use mesh drain guards to catch hair before it enters your pipes.


Don’t Allow Dirt to Clog Your Pipes

Frequently washing mud and dirt down your drains can lead to build-ups and blockages. To prevent this, shake off or hose away as much dirt as possible outside before washing the remainder in your sink.


Avoid Soap Bars With Fat

While most soaps wash down your drain easily, many traditional bar soaps contain grease and fat. These fats can combine with minerals in your water, leaving behind soap scum in your pipes. Over time, this build-up can lead to clogs. Using a different type of soap can help reduce residue and keep your drains flowing smoothly.


Don’t Toss Objects in the Toilet

Even small items can damage or block your pipes, so never flush cotton swabs, feminine hygiene products, or other toiletries down the toilet — only toilet paper and human waste belong there.


Preventing plumbing problems before they start can save you money on water bills, reduce repair costs, and spare you unnecessary frustration. Making small changes in your daily habits can help avoid common plumbing issues, but if a problem does arise, our professional team is here to help.

    Top 7 tips for safe drinking.

     If you drink, drink responsibly. 

    1. Understand both how much alcohol you are having and how much you should have

    2. Eat before (and during) drinking sessions

    Remember don't drink and drive. 

    3. Count your drinks.

    4. Slow your intake with alcohol-free drinks.

    5. Skip the drinking games and shots.

    6. Don't drink and drive.

    Instead of drinking and driving:

    • Plan how you're going to get home before you go out.
    • Decide with your friends who will be the 'designated driver'.
    • Make sure you reserve enough money for a taxi home.
    • Use public transport.

    7. 'Just say no' if you're... very young, pregnant, planning a pregnancy, breastfeeding, on meds or feeling depressed.

  • How Warm Should Your House Be?

    Because comfort is highly personal, there is no single best setting for your central hearting, but the general rule is to set your thermostat as high as you are still comfortable. For most people, this is between 18 and 22 degrees . 


    Your thermostat tells the boiler to keep heating until the house is a specific temperature. It maintains a set temperature, nothing more.


    Manipulating your thermostat throughout the day can also help you save money on energy. If the house is going to be empty for a long stretch during the day, set it a few degrees higher before you leave and turn it back down when you get home. 


    The UK government used to recommend a temperature of 21 degrees for living rooms and 18 degrees for bedrooms, but now they just recommend 18 degrees for the whole home.


    Increasing your room temperature by just a few degrees will increase your energy bills substantially, so it's best to avoid turning up your thermostat too much.  Each degree can actually cost you an extra 10% on your heating bill a year. 

  • Tips to Save on Heating Bills

    Heating your home efficiently doesn’t have to be expensive. Here are some practical ways to reduce your energy costs while keeping your home warm and comfortable:


    Stop draughts and keep windows closed: Draughts can let heat escape and increase your heating bills. Use draft excluders on doors and seal gaps around windows where possible.


    Maintain your radiators: Keep radiators bled, clean, and free from obstructions like furniture or curtains. Dust and blockages reduce efficiency.


    Check radiator size and output: Ensure your radiators are the right size for each room. Consult your plumber to check your BTU requirements — an undersized radiator will overwork your system, while an oversized one wastes energy.


    Use carpets instead of bare floors: Carpets provide around 60% more insulation than wood or laminate flooring, helping to retain heat and make rooms feel warmer.


    Consider underfloor heating: Modern underfloor heating systems can be more energy-efficient than traditional radiators, distributing heat evenly throughout the room.


    Upgrade your thermostat: Smart thermostats or programmable models allow you to control heating more efficiently, reducing energy use when rooms are empty or during the night.


    Layer up and zone your heating: Heating only the rooms you use, rather than the whole house, can save money. Wearing warmer clothing indoors also helps you keep temperatures lower without sacrificing comfort.


    Insulate your home: Proper loft, wall, and pipe insulation reduces heat loss, keeping your home warmer for longer and lowering your bills.


    By combining these tips, you can maintain a cozy home while making your heating system work smarter, not harder — saving money and energy year-round.

  • Radiator Noises?

    Gurgling or Water Running Noises - Bleed your radiators and always remember to repressurise your heating system after you finished removing the air.


    Clicking Noises - It is most likely to be caused by expansion of the radiator material as the radiator heats up.


    Banging Noises - unusual but can be caused by hard water (limescale in the central heating system).
