Tips
Report
Is your toilet cistern overflowing?
Or the overflow from the loft tanks?
This may mean that the ball inside it is damaged and not rising enough, or that the float arm needs adjustment.
Take a look inside.
A stopcock controls the flow of water from a main supply water line into a residence or other type of building.
Knowledge of the location of this valve becomes vital in the event of a break occurring in a water pipe located inside a residence.
A dripping tap is easier to fix than you might think, often just a replacement washer is needed, and by doing it yourself you can save the cost of a plumber.

I needed help over the Easter weekend and he wasnt available. He very kindly talked me through troubleshooting steps and I was able to fix it myself. He is very knowledgeable and I will definitely give him a call the next time I need a plumber.

Fixed an issue with my mum's toilet. We didn't have a plumber connection, so I chose him based on the perfect Google reviews, and have to say the reviews are warranted. Great communication, fair pricing and quick, quality service.

James has been my go-to plumber, from my time living in an old Victorian converted flat, to now in my end-of-terrace home. Hes handled anything Ive thrown at him, which is a lot. Highly personal, a great laugh, and knows his stuff. Couldnt recommend him higher.

One word sums up my experience and that is Amazing.

I remotely look after my 91 year old aunt. She had a water leak from the attic which was mixing with the electrics. James was recommended to me and stepped in and found the leak, sent me videos of the broken pipe, fixed the leak and most importantly reassured my aunt and her carer.

James provides a personal service that is sadly lacking by so many providers these days. He also agreed to look after my aunt going forward.

One very happy nephew.

James has completed various jobs for us, replacing a hot water tank in my mothers flat and installing a new radiator for us. He is quick to respond to messages, clear about what the work will involve, likely timings and costs. His charges are reasonable and we have been very happy with work he has completed.

I contacted James with a bath issue. He gave me a quote for an hours work. I sent some pictures to confirm what needed to be done. He then sent me a video demonstrating how to fix the issue myself. Great service. Very honest. Saved me money. I will definitely try him in future with any plumbing issues.

James called me minutes after I'd sent over an email. My boiler stopped working and Instead of just booking an appointment he talked me through the issue over the phone, walked me through steps I could try myself and I managed to fix it myself without having to spend money on a call out. Will now be using him in the future for my plumbing needs. Top service, highly recommend!

James provides a refreshingly responsive, professional plumbing service. He is friendly, flexible and conscious of costs and value for customers. Called out to repair a waste disposal system he did that very swiftly and then did three other plumbing repair jobs for us within the same hourly call out fee. We highly recommend him.

James was fantastic and came to do a few jobs for us such as fitting a new radiator and a stop clock for us. He was very diligent in his work and spoke us through the different steps clearly as we were curious about the different elements that went into the work. We were very impressed the work quality of work he did and the quote he gave us was very reasonable.
He was very tidy in his work and made sure to tidy up after himself for the various jobs he did. We would definitely recommend him and use him again.

James did a fantastic job. Initially he was very helpful, providing advice for potential solutions to our plumbing problem that we could explore, and hence avoid an unnecessary call out charge. Once those ideas were exhausted James quickly attended and solved a long standing problem with minimal fuss. Would highly recommend James.

James did a brilliant job - having just moved into a new (very old!) home, we discovered several plumbing problems. We called James and he fixed our terrible upstairs water pressure by identifying there was a pump tucked into the eves and, after testing it and confirming it wasnt working, he advised on the most suitable product for us (and the price points of different pumps). He then ran out to buy it, and fitted it. He also stopped a loo from overflowing and changed a shower control which only produced very hot water...all in one afternoon! Were delighted and will recommend James to our friends without hesitation.

I have been using James for many many years. He is always prompt, gets the job done with no fuss and is extremely good value for money. He came to my rescue one Sunday night responding to my SOS call when my airing cupboard water tank burst and my lounge ceiling collapsed and dealt with the situation with calm efficiency!! I wouldnt have any hesitation in recommending him.

I phoned James regarding a leaking overflow pipe. He arrived as agreed the following day observing the current guidelines on social distancing etc. He explained what the problem was, showed me the parts he had replaced and fixed the problem within 30 minutes. He gave an excellent professional and friendly service. James was recommended to me by my daughter and I have no hesitation in recommending him to future customers.
