What We Fix
Low or Fluctuating Water Pressure
If your water pressure has dropped or varies between taps, we’ll diagnose the cause whether it’s a faulty pressure valve, a blockage, or an issue in the main line.
Burst Pipes
Found water pooling in the garden or under the house? We’ll locate the leak fast, isolate the damage, and repair or replace the affected section of pipe.
Leaking Taps & Toilets
Dripping taps or constantly running toilets?
We replace worn washers, cartridges, valves, and seals to stop the problem at the source, not just tighten a fitting and hope for the best.
Water Hammer / Noisy Pipes
That loud banging or thudding sound in your pipes? That’s water hammer and we can fix it.
