Plumber in Garswood, WN4
Garswood has a WN4 postcode, so people sometimes aren't sure if a St Helens firm will come out. We do. It's part of the borough, and we cover it 24/7, every day of the year. The engineer is Matthew Birchall, Gas Safe registered (number 653634), and you speak straight to him on 07759 813431.
Emergency plumber in Garswood
Our emergency plumbing service covers burst pipes, leaks, no water and boilers that won't fire. Before Matthew arrives, turn off the stopcock and open the cold taps to drain the pipes. If water is near any electrics, switch off at the consumer unit. Then move what you can out of the way.
Out at work all day?
If you leave early and get back late, a fault you spot at 7am, like no hot water, is a pain. We can often fit around your day, including an evening visit once you're home. A spare key with a neighbour helps too.
A house that sits empty all day in winter is more at risk of frozen pipes. Set the heating to come on low so the pipes don't freeze, and check the boiler pressure sits at around 1 to 1.5 bar before you go.
Boilers and heating
Matthew carries out boiler repairs on most makes, combi, system and conventional. He finds the fault, explains it in plain English and agrees the price before he fixes it. Boilers usually last 10 to 15 years. If yours keeps breaking down, he'll tell you honestly whether a new one makes more sense. New boilers come with the manufacturer's standard warranty, which must be registered. We also do annual servicing, landlord CP12s and gas cooker and hob fitting.
Cold radiators or patchy hot water? Our central heating work covers repairs, new radiators, controls, power flushing and full systems. We also fit showers, bathrooms and wet rooms, and Matthew checks your water pressure first so the shower you pick works properly.
Signs of carbon monoxide include headaches, dizziness or nausea, a lazy yellow or orange flame, and soot around the appliance. Turn it off, open the windows and call 0800 111 999.
