Pipe repair & servicing
Leaking joints, burst sections, corroded fittings and noisy lines — repaired with the correct parts for your pipe material, then tested under pressure so the repair holds.
Common repairs
Every repair begins with a short diagnosis so we fix the right thing. These are the faults we deal with week in, week out.
Remade or replaced with matching fittings — not wrapped and hoped for the best.
Seized, dripping or passing valves replaced so you can isolate water again.
Rusted sections replaced and transitions made to modern pipe correctly.
Inlet, outlet, overflow and float connections resealed or renewed.
Damaged length cut out and replaced, with the cause of the burst investigated.
Loose supports fixed and arrestors or pressure control added where needed.
Partial blockages, scale and undersized runs traced and corrected.
Hidden faults located first, then repaired through the smallest possible opening.
Burst or active leak?
Quick action in the first few minutes limits damage dramatically. Keep this list handy.
1
Close the main valve or the isolation valve nearest the leak. If you have a pump, switch it off.
2
Turn off the circuit for any wet sockets, appliances or a water heater on a leaking line.
3
Draining the line reduces pressure and stops water feeding the leak.
4
Move belongings, mop up and take photos — useful for us and for any insurance claim.
5
Tell us what you see; we will advise and schedule the earliest visit available.
Ageing & corroded pipes
Galvanised iron pipe corrodes from the inside. Over the years the bore narrows with rust, pressure drops, water may run discoloured, and pinhole leaks start appearing at threads and bends. Patching one point often just moves the failure to the next weak spot.
When we find this pattern, we show you: the condition of the removed section, the pressure readings and where the next likely failures are. Then we price both options — a targeted repair now, or a staged replacement of the worst runs — so you can decide with the facts in front of you.
Servicing
A servicing visit is a planned check of the parts that usually fail without warning. It suits older homes, rental properties, offices and shops.
All accessible valves are operated and checked, exposed joints inspected, tank and pump connections examined, drains flow-checked and the meter observed for silent leaks.
For most homes, once a year is sensible. Older GI systems, busy commercial premises and properties with rooftop tanks benefit from a check every six months.
A short written condition report listing anything that needs attention now, things to watch, and items that are in good order.
