Good to know

Common questions

General guidance about plumbers in the UK, not specific to any one business.

How can I find my stopcock?

The stopcock is usually found under the kitchen sink, in a cupboard or on an external wall facing the street. It may also be in a basement or ground-floor corridor. The water company's stopcock, if needed, sits in a small pit in the road or pavement.

What causes a boiler to lose pressure?

Common causes include a small leak in the system, a faulty pressure relief valve or a leak from the expansion tank. A leak can be slow and hard to spot. A pressure gauge reading below 1 bar usually means professional inspection is needed.

Why does water drain slowly from the bath?

The trap under the bath or the waste pipe beyond it is often blocked by hair and soap buildup. Sometimes blockage occurs further along the drainage run. Plunging may clear a surface blockage, but deeper blockages usually need professional clearing.

Can I fit a new radiator myself?

Radiator installation requires draining the system, isolating pipes, connecting new radiator valves and refilling and bleeding the system. Without proper tools and knowledge of balancing, the heating will not work correctly and leaks can occur.

What should be done before a boiler installation?

The existing boiler must be safely removed and the area made safe. The new boiler location, flue route and gas or oil supply must be assessed. The system should be flushed and new pipework installed to the manufacturer's specification before commissioning.

How long does a bathroom fitting usually take?

A basic bathroom suite fit typically takes three to five days depending on the scope of work and condition of existing pipework and walls. Tiling and sealant application require time to cure, so the bathroom may not be fully usable immediately after completion.
