My boiler pressure is above 3 bar. Is that a problem?
Yes. High pressure is often caused by a filling loop left open or a failed expansion vessel, and the boiler may release water through the pipe outside to protect itself. Make sure the filling loop valves are closed and switch the boiler off if water keeps discharging. A Gas Safe engineer can recharge or replace the expansion vessel and set the pressure correctly.
Sewage is coming up from a drain or manhole. What should I do?
Stop using toilets, sinks and appliances straight away, as more water will make it worse. Keep children and pets away from the area and avoid touching the waste. The main drain is usually blocked further down the line, and we’ll clear it with high-pressure jetting and check the drain with a camera if needed.
My outside tap is leaking after a cold night. Can you fix it?
Yes. Frost often splits the tap body or the pipe behind it. Turn off the isolation valve on the pipe inside the house, usually under the kitchen sink, or the main stop tap. We’ll replace the damaged section and can fit insulation or a frost-resistant tap to prevent it happening again.
Do you give a price before starting work?
Yes. Your plumber will diagnose the issue and give you a clear quote. Nothing goes ahead until you’ve agreed to the price.
