Plumbing for homeowners

Small plumbing jobs and repairs

A dripping tap or a running toilet is the kind of job that is easy to put off and hard to find someone for. We handle small domestic plumbing repairs and replacements for homeowners across our area.

Because we are multi-trade, we can also deal with the boxing in, sealing and painting that often follows a plumbing job.

What we can help with

• Replacing taps and washers
• Fixing leaks under sinks
• Toilet repairs and cistern parts
• Fitting washing machines and dishwashers
• Replacing waste traps
• Re-sealing baths and showers
• Outside taps
• Boxing in pipework

How we work

Before you call

Knowing roughly where a leak is coming from, whether a tap has stopped working completely or is just dripping, and the make of any appliance that needs fitting all help us price the job accurately.

Small plumbing jobs are often combined with other work. A new tap can be fitted on the same visit as a repaint of the kitchen, or a bath can be resealed once decorating around it is finished.

What to expect on the day

Before work starts on a tap, leak or toilet, the water supply to that fitting is isolated so the job can be carried out without affecting the rest of the house.

Resealing a bath or shower tray means removing the old, often discoloured sealant first, cleaning the surface thoroughly, then applying a fresh bead once everything is dry.

Having the right details ready

Knowing the make and model of a tap, toilet or appliance that needs replacing helps us check compatibility before we arrive, rather than finding out on the day.

A photograph of the leak or the pipework underneath a sink gives a clearer idea of what is involved than a description alone.

How plumbing fits with other jobs

A new tap or resealed bath is often finished once any decorating in the bathroom or kitchen is complete, so the fresh paintwork is not splashed or marked.

Boxing in exposed pipework with carpentry can be arranged around the same plumbing visit, tidying up the look of a utility room or airing cupboard.
