Plumber in Peasley Cross, WA9
We cover Peasley Cross and the rest of WA9, 24/7. The engineer is Matthew Birchall, Gas Safe registered (number 653634). He's the person you speak to and the person who does the work.
Most homes here are terraced, which brings a familiar set of jobs: older pipework, gravity-fed hot water and boilers squeezed into tight kitchens and cupboards.
Converting terraces to a combi
Many terraces still have a cold tank in the loft, a cylinder in the airing cupboard and a conventional boiler. It works, but showers are often weak and the hot water runs out. A combi frees up the loft and the cupboard and gives you hot water on demand at mains pressure. In a smaller terrace with one bathroom, it's usually the best fit.
A conversion takes 2 to 3 days, and our new boiler installation page explains how the job runs. New boilers come with the manufacturer's standard warranty, which has to be registered. If you're planning a new bathroom too, do both together and save lifting the same floors twice. We fit bathrooms, showers and wet rooms with tiling.
In a small terrace, a front room that never warms up is often down to a radiator that's too small for the space. A correctly sized one makes a real difference. We also fix sticking valves and low pressure, and power flush sludged-up systems.
Landlords with rented terraces
Plenty of terraces here are let out, and every rented home with gas needs a check once a year. We carry out the landlord gas safety check and issue the CP12 record. It goes to existing tenants within 28 days and to new tenants before they move in, and you keep records for 2 years. We can service the boiler on the same visit.
Emergency plumber in Peasley Cross
A leak upstairs in a terrace soon finds its way through the ceiling below. Our burst pipe and leak repairs run 24/7. If it happens:
- Turn off the stopcock, usually under the kitchen sink.
- Open the cold taps to drain the system.
- Switch off the electrics if water is near sockets or lights.
- Ring Matthew on 07759 813431.
Pipes on outside walls and in lofts freeze first in winter, so lag them. Signs of carbon monoxide include headaches, dizziness, nausea, a yellow or orange flame and soot around the appliance. Turn it off, get fresh air and call 0800 111 999.
