Common Questions About Plumbing

How long does it take?

Usually 30 minutes for a simple access fix - clear out the chamber, fix or replace the cover. Longer if significant work needed (like raising the chamber if it's been buried by soil buildup).

Can you fit one if my cistern is really old?

Usually yes. Modern ball valves fit most cisterns - they're designed to be universal. Very occasionally old imperial-sized cisterns need adapters, but I carry these for Devon's older properties.

How do I know if I've got a leaking pipe?

Signs are damp patches on walls/ceilings, water pooling under sinks/behind appliances, reduced water pressure, sound of running water when nothing's on, or your water meter spinning when all taps are off. Don't ignore it - small leaks become big problems.

How do I stop it happening again?

Kitchen: don't pour fat down the sink (let it solidify and bin it), use a sink strainer. Bathroom: catch hair before it goes down (stick-on drain guards are brilliant), don't rinse shaving cream down the sink. And get the trap cleaned out every couple of years.

Do I need to provide the panel?

Either way works. If you've already bought one, great. If not, I can advise on what size you need and pick one up - basic white MDF panels are about £20-40 depending on size. You can also get bath-matched acrylic ones if you want everything to coordinate.

What's the point of a bath panel?

It hides all the pipework and the underside of the bath, giving you a clean finished look. More importantly, it's removable so you can still access pipes for future plumbing work without ripping tiles off.
