Blocked toilets and sinks

Most blockages in toilets, sinks, baths and showers can be cleared on the spot, using a plunger or auger or by taking the trap apart. If the blockage is further down the drain, it needs a drainage company with specialist equipment, and I’ll tell you so straight away rather than charge you for trying.

Leaks

Small leaks from taps, wastes and traps cause damage over time, from swollen cupboard bases to stained ceilings below. I find where the water is coming from, repair or replace the faulty part, and check nothing else is affected.

How a job runs

1. Report the problem

Send a photo or a quick description by phone, WhatsApp or email.

2. Quote

Small jobs are charged by the hour; larger jobs get a written, fixed quote.

3. Repair

Most repairs are done in one visit, with common parts carried in the van.

4. Check and report

Everything is tested before I leave, and you get before and after photos.

For landlords and letting agents

Bathroom and kitchen faults are some of the most common tenant reports. I arrange access with tenants or through the agent, fix most issues first time, and send photos with an invoice you can pass straight to your client.

How pricing works

Small jobs are charged by the hour. Larger jobs get a written, fixed quote after a visit, so you know the cost before work starts. There’s no VAT to add.

Frequently asked questions

Can you unblock a toilet or sink?

Yes. Most blocked toilets, sinks, baths and showers can be cleared on the spot. If the blockage is further down the drain, you’ll need a drainage company, and I’ll tell you straight away.

Can you fix a toilet that keeps running?

Often, yes. It’s usually a worn part inside the cistern that can be replaced in one visit. If it turns out to be anything more involved, I’ll recommend a plumber.

Do you replace sealant around baths and showers?

Yes. Mouldy, split or peeling sealant is cut out completely, the joint is cleaned, and new sealant is applied.

Do you take on plumbing work?

Only small repairs, such as dripping taps, leaking wastes and traps, and simple toilet cistern faults. Anything bigger, including new pipework, heating or gas, goes to a qualified plumber, and I’ll tell you if that’s what’s needed.
