Plumbing Services in Purton

Sometimes. Bathrooms added later often have long pipe runs, tight bends and joints in hard-to-reach places. Tracing the runs first means a repair can be made at the right point rather than by guesswork. Photos of the bathroom and the room below help.

Usually, yes. Access is the main question: the bath panel often needs to come off to reach the tap connections. If the panel is tiled in or sealed, let me know beforehand so the least disruptive approach can be planned.

Look where the supply comes into the house, often by the stop tap. Copper is reddish, plastic is usually blue or white, and dull grey pipe may be lead. If you're unsure, send a photo and I'll tell you what I think it is and what your options are.

If cold is fine and hot is weak, the cause might be a scaled tap cartridge or aerator, a partly closed isolating valve, or an issue further back on the hot supply. Check the isolating valve under the sink first. If that's open, send a photo of the tap and I'll say what I can help with.

Yes. I cover the whole of Purton, from the older properties around the church and high street to the newer housing further out, plus nearby Lydiard Millicent, Haydon Wick and Royal Wootton Bassett.

Usually, yes. A dripping tap is a nuisance rather than a risk. If it's getting worse, close the isolating valve under the basin or sink with a flat screwdriver. Water escaping from a pipe is different: then turn off the stop tap.

Yes. A loose pan can strain the pan connector and the supply to the cistern, causing slow leaks onto the floor. Stains or soft flooring around the base are worth a photo, so send one when you get in touch and I'll say what I can help with.

It depends on your basin or sink and your water pressure. Some taps need higher pressure than older tank-fed systems provide. Send me the product details before anything is booked and I'll talk through whether they suit your setup.

A bigger problem is worth talking through before going any further. If, for example, a tap repair reveals a corroded pipe behind it, the options are worth talking through before anything else is done, and the choice is yours.

Yes. If you know of a weep, a stiff valve or a pipe you'd like moved, it's much easier to sort before new flooring, paint or units go in. Tell me your plans when you get in touch, as plumbing sorted before decorating means the finish isn't disturbed later.
