Pipes & Plumbing

1. Leaks & Drips

• Loose joints, failed olives or pinhole corrosion
• Hidden leaks cause damp staining and rot
• Wastes water and increases bills

2. Low Water Pressure

• Scale build-up restricting flow
• Undersized pipework for the property
• Failed pressure-reducing valves

3. Blockages & Slow Drains

• Grease, hair and limescale build-up
• Collapsed or root-damaged underground runs
• Causes overflow and backups

minor Repairs

• Tighten or replace failed compression joints
• Clear blockages with rods or hydro-jetting
• Replace tap washers, valves and isolators

moderate Repairs

• Replace short sections of damaged pipe
• Install new isolation valves for ease of maintenance
• Re-route pipework to free up wall space

major Repairs
