Plumbing repairs for homes in Stevenage
A leaking pipe, a tap that will not stop dripping or a toilet that keeps running can waste water and damage your home. We repair common plumbing faults in homes across Stevenage and the SG postcode area.
Common plumbing repairs we handle
- Dripping or stiff taps, including washer and cartridge replacement
- Leaking pipes and joints under sinks, in cupboards and behind units
- Running toilets and faulty cisterns, including fill valves and flush mechanisms
- Slow or leaking waste pipes under basins and sinks
- Worn or stiff isolating valves (stopcocks) that need replacing
- Water pressure and supply problems that come from a faulty part
Signs you may need a plumber
- Damp patches, staining or bubbling paint on walls and ceilings
- Water pooling under a sink, bath or toilet
- A water meter that keeps moving when every tap is off
- Unusual knocking or banging in the pipes
- A sudden drop in water pressure in one part of the house
If you are not sure how serious a problem is, call us and describe what you can see. We will tell you whether it needs a visit.
If you have a leak right now
Turn off the water at the stopcock (isolating valve), if you can find it.
If water is near sockets, switches or light fittings, keep away from them and turn off the power to that area.
Place a bucket or towels under the leak and move valuable items out of the way.
Call us and describe where the leak is and whether it is still running.
How a repair works
We start by understanding the problem. We look at what is happening, talk through the likely cause and explain what the repair involves. Once you have agreed the plan, we carry out the repair, test it and clean up the area before we leave.
Where a repair shows that other parts are worn, we will tell you and let you decide what to do next.
Plumbing repairs across the SG postcode area
We cover Stevenage (SG1 and SG2), Knebworth (SG3), Hitchin (SG4 and SG5), Letchworth Garden City (SG6), Baldock (SG7) and the surrounding area. Older houses can have pipework that is more worn in places, while newer homes can have fittings that have simply reached the end of their life. Either way, a clear description of the problem helps us plan the visit.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you do urgent plumbing repairs?
Yes. We offer a 24/7 emergency call-out service for urgent problems such as a burst pipe or a serious leak. Call us any time and let us know it is an emergency.
Can you fix a dripping tap without replacing it?
Often, yes. Many dripping taps are caused by a worn washer or cartridge, which can be replaced. If the tap is old or badly worn, we will tell you so you can decide what to do.
Can you fix a leak inside a wall?
Some leaks can be reached through an access panel. Others need an opening in the wall or ceiling. We will talk this through with you before any opening is made.
Do I have to pay a call-out fee?
Please ask when you get in touch. We will explain any visit or call-out cost before any work starts.
