Your trusted plumber in Manchester

A plumber visits to diagnose the fault using pressure gauges and visual inspection, identifies the broken component, orders or sources the part if needed, removes the faulty item, fits the replacement, refills the system, bleeds air from pipes and tests the boiler.

When you need it. Boiler stops heating water, produces no hot water, makes loud noises, shows error codes or leaks water from the base.

Before you get in touch. Note the boiler make and model. Check if the pilot light is out. Have the thermostat settings ready.

A plumber locates the source of the leak by inspecting pipes, joints and fittings. They shut off the water supply, assess damage, dry the area, repair the leak using patching, re-jointing or pipe replacement, refill the system and check for further leaks.

When you need it. Water sprays or drips from pipes, joints or fittings, water appears on ceilings or walls, or pooling water under sinks.

Before you get in touch. Locate and turn off the main water stopcock. Turn off affected radiators. Move furniture away from the leak.

A plumber assesses the blockage location by running water or using a drain camera. They clear the obstruction using a plunger, drain rods, or a powered auger. Stubborn blockages may require excavation. Once clear, water flow is tested and the area is made good.

When you need it. Water drains slowly from baths, sinks or toilets, gurgling sounds come from pipes, or drains back up when using other appliances.

Before you get in touch. Remove any visible debris from the drain. Avoid pouring more water down it. Note which drains are affected.
