Leak repairs and fault finding in Wivenhoe
From a dripping tap to the leak nobody else could find. Pete works out why it's happening, not just where the water is coming out.
Leaks, big and small
- Dripping and leaking taps
- Toilets that won't stop running or leak at the base
- Leaking showers, shower trays and bath seals
- Leaks under the kitchen sink
- Pipework, joints and radiator valves
- Stains on the ceiling or damp patches with no obvious cause
There really is no job too small. In fact Pete genuinely likes the little jobs, so if a tap has been driving you mad for months, give him a call.
When the obvious answer isn't the right answer
Fault finding is one of Pete's particular strengths. With 20 years of experience behind him, he's very good at working out why something is happening rather than simply treating the obvious symptom. That makes him particularly useful for tricky, unusual or recurring problems, the kind that keep coming back after someone else has "fixed" them.
Older and unusual plumbing
If you've got an older property with plumbing that appears to have evolved organically over the past hundred years, even better. Pete loves a puzzle, and he won't try to turn a small problem into an expensive one.
Before Pete arrives
If water is getting somewhere it shouldn't, turn it off at the stopcock. It's usually under the kitchen sink, turned clockwise to close. If water is near light fittings, sockets or the consumer unit, keep away from them.
Then take a photo or a short video of the problem and send it to Pete on WhatsApp. You don't need to diagnose it first.
