General plumbing repairs and installations
Some jobs are straightforward and can be dealt with quickly.
Others need a bit more investigation to find where the problem is actually coming from.
I'll assess what's happening, explain what I've found and let you know what needs doing before carrying out the work.
Emergency plumber St Austell
A dripping tap isn't usually an emergency.
A burst pipe flooding the kitchen is a different matter.
Plumbing problems involving large amounts of water can cause damage to floors, walls, ceilings and cupboards surprisingly quickly, so getting the water under control is the first priority.
I provide emergency plumbing call-outs in St Austell for problems including:
Burst pipes and serious leaks
I'll work to control the leak, identify where the water is coming from and establish what needs to be repaired.
Water coming through a ceiling
A ceiling leak can be caused by pipework, a bathroom, tank or another plumbing problem above it. I'll investigate the source rather than simply dealing with the water you can see.
Overflowing or leaking toilets
A faulty toilet can waste a surprising amount of water, and an overflowing toilet needs dealing with quickly.
No hot water
If you've suddenly lost your hot water, I'll investigate the plumbing side of the system and establish what has failed.
Blocked toilets and sinks
Some blockages can be cleared relatively simply. Others need further investigation to find out why the waste isn't flowing properly.
The aim is to get the immediate problem under control and give you a clear idea of what needs doing next.
St Austell plumbing for homes
St Austell has a mixture of older properties, newer homes and houses that have been altered or extended over the years.
That means plumbing problems aren't always as simple as they first appear.
A leak under a sink could be a worn fitting, a damaged pipe or water running down from somewhere else.
A shower that appears to be leaking might actually have a problem with the pipework behind the wall.
And a toilet that won't flush may only need a small component replacing rather than the whole thing being replaced.
I'll investigate what's actually causing the problem and explain the sensible options.
Sometimes it's a simple repair.
Sometimes something needs replacing.
And sometimes the best solution is to leave something alone until it genuinely needs attention.
Bathroom and kitchen plumbing in St Austell
A lot of domestic plumbing work is found in the two rooms where water is used most — the kitchen and bathroom.

Whether it's repairing something that's failed or installing a replacement, I'll explain what's involved before starting the work.
Hot water and radiator problems
Problems with hot water can be particularly inconvenient, especially during the colder months.
I work on the plumbing side of domestic hot water systems, including:
Hot water cylinders
Storage tanks
Immersion heaters
Undersink water heaters
Associated pipework and fittings
I also deal with radiator plumbing problems and repairs.
If you've got no hot water, a leaking cylinder or a radiator that isn't behaving as it should, get in touch and I'll establish whether it's a plumbing problem I can help with.
A local independent plumber
I'm an independent plumber, so when you contact me you're dealing directly with the person who will come and look at the job.
I don't expect you to know what the failed part is called.
If you can explain what you're seeing — a leak under the sink, a toilet that won't flush, a radiator that's cold, no hot water or water coming through the ceiling — that's usually enough to start with.
I'll ask a few questions, assess the problem and explain what I think needs doing.
No unnecessary plumbing terminology and no expectation that you should diagnose the fault yourself.
Just a straightforward assessment and a practical solution.
