Plumber in Clock Face, WA9
We cover Clock Face and the rest of WA9, 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Ring 07759 813431 and you speak to Matthew Birchall, our Gas Safe registered engineer (number 653634). He's the one who comes out.
Homes around Clock Face were built at different times, so the plumbing can vary from one street to the next. Matthew comes ready for older pipework as well as modern plastic pipe and combi boilers.
Emergency plumber in Clock Face
Our 24/7 emergency plumber service covers burst pipes, leaks through ceilings, overflowing cisterns and boilers that have stopped. While you wait, turn off the water at the stopcock. It's usually under the kitchen sink or where the supply pipe comes into the house. If water is near light fittings or sockets, switch off at the consumer unit and keep clear.
Homes on the open southern edge of the borough can take the cold harder. Pipes in garages, lofts and on outside walls freeze first. Lag them before winter, and keep the heating on low if you're going away.
Boilers and heating
Matthew services and repairs most makes of gas boiler, combi, system and conventional. Manufacturers recommend a service every 12 months, and most warranties need one. An annual boiler service also checks the flue, the flame and the seals for any sign of carbon monoxide. We fit gas cookers and hobs and do landlord gas safety checks (CP12s) too.
If your boiler is 10 to 15 years old and breaking down more often, it may be time for a new one. New boilers come with the manufacturer's standard warranty, which has to be registered.
A quick guide to radiator problems:
- Cold at the top: usually trapped air. Bleed it.
- Cold at the bottom: usually sludge. A power flush can clear it.
- Some rooms hot, others cold: the system probably needs balancing.
If the boiler pressure keeps dropping below about 1 bar, there's likely a leak on the system. Get it found rather than topping up every week.
Bathrooms and showers
From a new shower over the bath to a full refit with tiling, Matthew handles the plumbing and the finish. Our bathroom fitting page explains how a refit runs. Bathroom electrics fall under Part P, and the electrics are done by a Part P registered electrician we work with.
