Plumbing Maintenance — Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our plumbing maintenance services

Why should I have regular plumbing maintenance?

Regular plumbing maintenance catches small issues — a weeping joint, a corroding pipe, a failing valve — before they become expensive emergencies. It extends the life of your system, maintains boiler efficiency, keeps warranties valid and gives you peace of mind.

How often should plumbing be maintained?

We recommend an annual plumbing health check for your whole system. Boilers should be serviced annually (required for warranty). Water softeners and filters need attention every 6-12 months depending on usage. Landlords are legally required to have annual gas safety checks.

What's included in a plumbing health check?

Our plumbing health check includes: visual inspection of all visible pipework, tap and toilet operation test, water pressure measurement, stopcock and isolation valve function check, leak and damp inspection, and a written condition report with any recommendations.

Do you offer maintenance plans for landlords?

Yes. We offer tailored maintenance plans for landlords and letting agents covering annual gas safety certificates (CP12), plumbing inspections, boiler servicing and priority emergency call outs for tenants.

Can I book a maintenance visit at a specific time?

Yes. We book maintenance visits at times that suit you — weekdays, early mornings or late afternoons. We'll give you a clear arrival window and call ahead on the day.

Is plumbing maintenance expensive?

Maintenance is far less expensive than emergency repairs. A planned annual health check costs a fraction of an emergency call out for a burst pipe or failed boiler. Most customers find maintenance pays for itself by preventing just one emergency.
