Plumber in Parr, WA9
We cover Parr and the rest of WA9, and take emergency calls 24/7, every day of the year. When you ring 07759 813431 you speak to Matthew Birchall, our Gas Safe registered engineer (number 653634), and he's the one who does the work.
Just bought in Parr?
Parr has plenty of terraced housing and post-war ex-council homes, many now privately owned. A lot of new owners inherit a heating system that's only ever been patched. That can mean an old boiler, a cylinder in the airing cupboard, a tank in the loft and radiators that never warm the room.
Where an old system is on its last legs, a new boiler installation is often the turning point. Many of these homes suit a combi conversion, which takes out the tank and cylinder and gives you mains-pressure hot water. Matthew checks the water pressure first. A conversion takes 2 to 3 days, and a straight combi swap about a day.
If you're doing a house up, Matthew can work through a list of small jobs in one visit: dripping taps, running toilets, leaking waste pipes, low pressure at the kitchen tap and appliances to plumb in. He'll agree the price before he starts. We also fit bathrooms, showers and wet rooms, and repair and upgrade central heating.
Landlords in Parr
Landlords need a gas safety check every year. The record, often called a CP12, goes to existing tenants within 28 days and to new tenants before they move in. We carry out the landlord gas safety check, issue the record and fix any problems on the same visit where we can. Boiler servicing can be done at the same time.
Emergency plumber in Parr
Burst pipes, leaks through ceilings, overflowing cisterns and boilers that have stopped all count. Turn off the water at the stopcock, usually under the kitchen sink, and keep electrics away from the water. Then ring us. Leaks on the public side of your boundary stop tap are for United Utilities.
If you smell gas, turn it off at the meter, open the windows and call 0800 111 999. A yearly boiler service is the best way to make sure your boiler is burning safely.
