Plumber in Eccleston, WA10
We cover Eccleston and the rest of WA10, with emergency callouts 24/7. Matthew Birchall is our Gas Safe registered engineer (number 653634), and he's the person you speak to and the person who arrives. Alongside the bigger jobs, we fix leaking taps, running toilets and faulty cisterns, and plumb in washing machines and dishwashers.
Hot water for bigger homes
Many Eccleston homes are larger detached and semi-detached houses, often with an en suite as well as a family bathroom. That changes the boiler choice. A combi heats water as you use it, so with two showers running the flow drops. A system boiler with an unvented cylinder stores hot water at mains pressure, so two showers can run at once.
Some older properties here still have a loft tank and a vented cylinder. They can be upgraded, but Matthew checks your water pressure and flow first, because both a combi and an unvented cylinder rely on a good mains supply.
Boilers and heating
Only Gas Safe registered engineers can legally work on gas boilers, cookers and hobs. We repair most makes, do annual servicing and fit new boilers, combi, system or conventional. Every new boiler comes with the manufacturer's standard warranty, which must be registered. Most boilers last 10 to 15 years, so if yours is older and breaking down, talk to us before winter. Landlords can book a gas safety check and CP12 too.
Bigger houses often have radiators at the far end that never quite get hot. We balance systems, fit new radiators and carry out power flushing where sludge is the problem. Room thermostats, timers and thermostatic radiator valves let you heat the rooms you use, which helps in a house with rooms that sit empty all day.
We fit full bathrooms, en suites, showers and wet rooms, tiling included. Matthew plans the hot water supply alongside the room, so a new rainfall shower isn't let down by the boiler.
Emergency plumber in Eccleston
A burst pipe or leaking cylinder in a bigger house can do a lot of damage fast. Find your stopcock now and check it turns. It's usually under the kitchen sink, but in larger homes it can be in a utility room or garage. Turn it off, switch off electrics near the leak, then ring 07759 813431, day or night. Leaks on the public side of your boundary stop tap are for United Utilities.
