Small Plumbing Repairs Welcome
Not every plumbing job needs to be a major one. I'm happy to take on smaller repairs such as leaking fittings, faulty valves, dripping taps, wastes and other everyday plumbing problems.
If you have several small plumbing jobs that need attention, let me know when you get in touch. I can often complete multiple repairs during the same visit.
Not Sure Where the Water Leak Is Coming From?
Plumbing leaks aren't always obvious. Water can travel along pipes, fittings, cupboards and other surfaces before becoming visible somewhere else.
If you're unsure where the water is coming from, I can inspect accessible plumbing and connections to help identify the likely source before recommending the appropriate repair.
Common sources include leaking pipe joints, flexible hoses, isolation valves, tap connections, sink wastes, traps and toilet connections.
If possible, send me a few photos or a short video when getting in touch. This can often help me understand the problem before I arrive.
Signs You May Have a Plumbing Leak
Some plumbing leaks are immediately obvious, while others start as a small amount of water or dampness around a fitting.
Signs of a possible leak can include water underneath a sink or basin, dampness inside a cupboard, dripping from a pipe or valve, water appearing around a toilet, staining below plumbing fixtures or a connection that remains wet after being dried.
If you've noticed water where it shouldn't be, it's worth identifying the source before a small leak develops into a larger problem.
Got an Active or Urgent Water Leak?
If water is leaking heavily, turn off the affected isolation valve or your main internal stop tap where safe and practical to do so.
For urgent plumbing problems, get in touch as soon as possible with your postcode and, if possible, a photo or short video of the leak. I'll let you know my earliest availability.
How Much Do Plumbing & Leak Repairs Cost?
My standard rate for general plumbing work is £50 per hour, plus any parts or materials required.
Many straightforward plumbing repairs can be completed within the first hour, while faults that require investigation, difficult access or multiple repairs may take longer.
