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.

Things Moreton customers usually ask about plumbing

How quickly can you actually get out?

For genuine emergencies in Moreton — no heat, no hot water, an active leak — we aim for same-day. We'll tell you straight when we call back if a faster response isn't possible.

Do you charge an emergency callout fee?

We charge a clear diagnostic fee, told to you upfront before we set off. The repair itself is then quoted as a fixed price you agree before any work starts.

Are you 24/7?

We aren't a true 24-hour service — we're a small family business — but we pick up early and stay late, and we prioritise vulnerable households and no-heat situations through the day.

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.
