Quick tips

Small habits that prevent big bills

Don’t pour grease down the sink

It cools, hardens and coats the pipe. Wipe pans out before washing to keep kitchen drains flowing.

Test stop valves twice a year

A seized main valve turns a small leak into a flood. Open and close it so it works when you need it.

Clear gutters before the rains

Leaves and grit block downpipes and push water back under the roof edge. A ten-minute clean saves a ceiling.

Rather we just took a look?

Book an inspection and we’ll check your plumbing, roof or waterproofing in person.
