Our plumbing process, step by step

1

Stop the damage

First call we make is to talk you through finding your stopcock — stops further damage before we even arrive.

2

Locate the leak

Visual inspection, thermal imaging or pressure testing depending on what's hidden.

3

Fix it properly

Soldered or pressed copper, never just a quick clamp. We do it right.

4

Document for insurance

Photos and written report if you need to claim on home insurance.

Frequently asked questions — plumbing, Abridge

Are you open right now?

We answer the phone from early morning until late evening on most days. Even outside hours, leave a message and we usually call back within a couple of hours for genuine emergencies.

Should I call a national 24/7 firm instead?

If you need someone literally on-site at 3am, the national chains have that. If you can wait a few hours, you'll usually get a better job, a fairer price and a real engineer by waiting for us.

Do you fit electric showers?

Yes, plus mixer, thermostatic and digital. We'll check your mains pressure first to recommend the right type.

Can you find a hidden leak?

Usually yes — we use thermal imaging and pressure testing to trace leaks behind walls and under floors before we cut anything open.
