Boiler pressure,
leaks & pipework.
A lot of boiler trouble is really plumbing trouble: a slow leak that drops the pressure, a weeping valve underneath, a pump or filter that needs attention. We fix the water side of the system: leaks, valves, pipework and filters.
Boilers
Boiler problems we put right
Pressure keeps dropping
Usually a leak somewhere in the heating system — we trace it.
Water dripping under the boiler
Leaking valves, joints or pipework below the casing.
Topping up pressure every week
A sign of a leak that's worth finding before it causes damage.
Noisy pipework and kettling
Often sludge or scale restricting flow through the system.
Some radiators cold when the boiler is on
Circulation, pump or valve issues on the system side.
No magnetic filter fitted
A system filter helps keep sludge out of the boiler.

What it costs
You'll know the price
You'll know the price
before we start.
Plumbing has a reputation for surprise bills. Here's exactly how we handle money, so the job never becomes one.
BEFORE
You get a price first
We diagnose the fault, explain what's needed and tell you what it costs. Nothing starts until you've agreed to it — so you're never committed before you know the number.
DURING
No surprise additions
If we find something else while we're there, we stop and tell you. It goes on the bill only if you say yes. No “while I was in there” extras appearing at the end.
AFTER
One clear invoice
Parts and labour itemised, matching the price you agreed. Landlords get documentation suitable for their records without having to chase us for it.
No hidden charges. You approve the price before any work starts. See our pricing.
Before you decide
Helpful guides.
Straight answers
Questions we get asked.
Why does my boiler keep losing pressure?
The most common cause is a slow leak somewhere on the heating system, often at a radiator valve or under the boiler. Finding and fixing it stops the pressure dropping.
Is it safe to keep topping up the pressure?
Topping up keeps the heating going, but if you're doing it often there's water escaping somewhere. It's worth finding before it damages a floor or ceiling.
Can you fit a magnetic filter to my system?
Yes. A magnetic system filter on the heating return catches sludge before it reaches the boiler, and it's a straightforward job to add.
