PLUMBING GUIDE
Guidance to help with planning, costs and finding the right Plumber for the job.
UNDERSTANDING THE JOB
A quote significantly below the others is worth questioning before accepting — check it specifies the same quality of parts (a boiler make/model, not just "a boiler"), includes making good after any pipework is exposed, and covers testing before the job is signed off as complete.
PRICING & QUOTES
Describe the job, including whether it's an emergency, a planned repair, or a full installation, and mention access — under a suspended floor is very different from behind fitted units. Plumbers use this for an initial estimate; the final price is usually confirmed once they've seen the fault or the space in person.
USEFUL TO KNOW
A new dishwasher or washing machine needs its own isolation valve and a suitable waste connection — if you're changing from an old appliance in a different position, this sometimes means new pipework rather than just reconnecting to the old point.
USEFUL TO KNOW
Both need a cold water supply, a drain connection, and in most cases their own isolation valves so they can be disconnected without turning off water to the whole property. Using a shared valve with another appliance is a common shortcut that makes future repairs more disruptive than it needs to be.
WORTH KNOWING
Older properties sometimes still have lead or galvanised steel pipework, which can affect both water quality and pressure, and original layouts weren't designed around modern demand for multiple bathrooms. A plumber working on a period property will often check what the existing pipework is made of before quoting for anything beyond a like-for-like repair.
UNDERSTANDING THE JOB
An immersion heater is an electric backup for heating water in a cylinder, useful if the boiler fails or as the main hot water source in an all-electric property. If yours is tripping the electrics or not heating water, it's sometimes the heating element itself rather than the boiler or cylinder at fault.
USEFUL TO KNOW
Cost depends on the scope of the job, how accessible the pipework is (under a floor vs behind a wall), whether parts need to be sourced specially, and whether the job is planned or an emergency call-out. A simple tap or valve replacement is usually quick and low-cost; anything requiring pipework to be rerouted, or walls/floors to be opened up, costs more partly because of the making-good work afterwards.
HOW IT WORKS
Plumbers handle everything from a dripping tap to a full bathroom re-pipe: fixing leaks, clearing blocked drains, replacing taps and valves, fitting new bathroom suites, repairing or replacing radiators, and connecting appliances like washing machines and dishwashers. Emergency work (burst pipes, no hot water) is usually handled separately from planned jobs like a bathroom refit.
