Power flushing radiators is a process used to clean a central heating system. It involves the use of a high-velocity, low-pressure flow of water and cleaning chemicals to remove sludge, rust, and other debris that accumulate in radiators over time. This build-up can reduce the efficiency of the heating system, leading to uneven heating, increased energy consumption, and potential damage to the system. By power flushing, these contaminants are flushed out, restoring the efficiency and effectiveness of the heating system.

Boiler installation involves fitting a new boiler into a property to provide heating and hot water. This process starts with our qualified engineer, who will recommend the most suitable type and size of boiler. The installation itself includes removing the old boiler, installing and setting up the new one, and connecting it to the existing plumbing and electrical systems. Our engineer will also test the boiler to ensure it is functioning correctly and safely. Proper boiler installation is crucial for optimal performance, energy efficiency, and safety. 

Fixture installations involve fitting various appliances that are part of the plumbing system, such as sinks, taps, toilets, showers, and bathtubs. Our qualified plumber will install the fixture, making sure it is securely fitted and properly connected to the water supply and drainage system. Once installed, the fixture is tested to ensure it is functioning correctly and there are no leaks. Proper installation is crucial for the efficient operation of the plumbing system and to prevent future issues, such as leaks or pressure loss.

A plumbing condition report is a detailed assessment of a houses plumbing system. Our engineer will conduct a thorough inspection of all plumbing fixtures, pipes, and related components. The report includes information on the condition, functionality, and any potential issues such as leaks, corrosion, or blockages. We will also provide recommendations for repairs, maintenance, or upgrades needed to ensure the system operates efficiently and safely. Plumbing condition reports are often used during property transactions, renovations, or routine maintenance checks to give an accurate overview of the plumbing system’s health.

Unvented cylinder installation involves fitting an unvented hot water cylinder into a property to provide a reliable and high-pressure hot water supply. This type of cylinder does not require a cold water storage tank, as it is directly connected to the mains water supply. Our qualified engineer will carry out the installation, which includes connecting the cylinder to the water supply and heating system, ensuring proper pressure relief and safety mechanisms are in place. The engineer will also test the system to confirm it operates efficiently and safely. Proper installation is crucial to comply with UK building regulations and to ensure the system’s performance and safety.
Water filtration system installation involves fitting a device that purifies incoming water by removing impurities and contaminants, thereby improving water quality. This process typically begins with a consultation to determine the most suitable type of filtration system for the property, based on the specific water quality needs and the household’s usage. Our qualified engineer will then install the system, which might include under-sink units, whole-house filters, or specialised systems for removing specific contaminants. The installation process involves connecting the filter to the property’s plumbing system, setting up any necessary filtration, and ensuring all components are securely fitted and leak-free.
Plumbing smart controls installation involves integrating advanced, technology-driven devices into a property’s plumbing system to enhance efficiency and control. These smart devices enable homeowners to monitor and manage water usage, detect leaks, and control water temperatures remotely via smartphones or other devices. The installation process begins with a consultation to identify the most suitable smart control solutions for the property’s specific needs. Our qualified plumber will then install the smart devices, ensuring they are correctly connected to the property’s plumbing and electrical systems. The devices are also configured to communicate with the homeowner’s mobile devices or home automation systems.

Whether you’d like a new outdoor tap installed, you have a new sink which is to be fitted, or you have a leaking or burst pipe, we’ll be able to help. Whatever the job, big or small.

Boiler servicing is a routine maintenance procedure carried out to ensure a boiler is operating safely and efficiently. During a service, we will inspect and clean the boiler, checking for any signs of wear and tear, leaks, or other potential issues. Key components such as the burner, heat exchanger, and controls are examined and tested. Regular servicing helps to prevent breakdowns, improve energy efficiency, and extend the lifespan of the boiler. It is recommended to have a boiler serviced annually, particularly before the winter months.

When a boiler doesn’t work, it can cause havoc in your home, especially in colder months. Boiler repairs involves diagnosing and fixing issues with a boiler to restore its proper function. Our qualified engineer will examine the boiler to identify the problem, which may range from minor faults like pressure issues or thermostat failures to more significant problems such as leaks or component failures. Once the issue is identified, we will repair or replace the faulty parts. 

Fixture repairs involve addressing issues with devices such as sinks, taps, toilets, showers, and bathtubs to restore their proper function. Our qualified plumber will diagnose the problem, which might include leaks, blockages, drips, or malfunctioning components. The repair process may involve tightening connections, replacing worn-out parts, unclogging drains, or sealing leaks. Prompt repairs are essential to prevent water damage, maintain the efficiency of the plumbing system, and ensure the fixture operates correctly.

Water heater installation involves fitting a new water heater into a property to provide hot water for domestic use. This process typically begins with selecting the appropriate type and size of water heater based on the property’s needs. Our qualified plumber will then install the unit, which includes connecting it to the water supply, electrical or gas lines, and ensuring proper ventilation if necessary. The installation also involves testing the water heater to ensure it operates correctly and safely.

Unvented cylinder service involves the routine maintenance and inspection of an unvented hot water cylinder to ensure it operates efficiently and safely. Our qualified engineer will check key components such as the pressure relief valves, expansion vessel, and thermostats. The service also includes inspecting for signs of wear or damage, ensuring there are no leaks, and verifying that the system is functioning correctly. Regular servicing is essential to maintain the performance of the cylinder, extend its lifespan, and comply with safety regulations.

Water filtration system serviceing involves the regular maintenance and inspection of a water filtration unit to ensure it continues to operate effectively and efficiently. We will check the system for any signs of wear or damage, replace filters or media as required, and test the water quality to ensure the system is performing to its specifications. Regular servicing is crucial to maintain the effectiveness of the filtration system, prevent blockages and leaks, and ensure that the water remains clean and safe for use. It is recommended that water filtration systems be serviced annually, or more frequently depending on usage and water quality, to ensure optimal performance.

Underfloor heating installation involves fitting a system that provides radiant heat from beneath the floor, creating a comfortable and evenly distributed warmth throughout a room. The process typically starts with selecting either a water-based system, which circulates warm water through pipes, or an electric system, which uses heating cables. Our qualified installer will prepare the subfloor, lay down the heating elements, and connect them to the power supply or central heating system. The system is then thoroughly tested to ensure proper operation. Finally, the flooring material is installed over the heating system. Underfloor heating is an efficient method of heating, particularly suitable for new constructions or during major renovations.

Landlords must arrange a gas safety check every year. This inspection must be carried out by a gas safe registered engineer, who will check gas appliances, flues and pipework to ensure they are safe and functioning correctly. After the inspection the engineer will provide a gas safety certificate electronically. This document records the results of the check, listing the appliances inspected and any issues found.
