Questions people ask
Is it worth calling a plumber for one dripping tap?
Yes, but the call-out is the main cost. Walk through the house first and list every small plumbing job so they are done in one trip.
Should I repair or replace an old toilet?
Parts for older cisterns can be hard to find, and newer suites use less water per flush. Ask for both prices.
What is water hammer?
It is the bang you hear when a tap or appliance shuts off quickly. A plumber can fit arrestors, secure loose pipes or replace worn valves.
