Leaking in Great Dunmow? Plumbing sorted properly

We respond fast, find the actual source (not just where the water shows), and fix it properly — soldered or pressed copper, never just a clamp. For plumbing jobs in Great Dunmow we work cleanly, isolate properly, and never just clamp a leak when it needs a proper soldered or pressed joint.

Common questions about plumbing in Great Dunmow

Where do boiler leaks usually come from?

Most common: pressure relief valve discharging because system pressure is too high, a perished pump seal, or a failing heat exchanger on older units. We diagnose properly rather than guess.

Should I turn the boiler off?

If water is actively dripping and you can see it pooling, yes — switch the boiler off at the spur, and turn the system pressure down via the filling loop if you can. Then call us.

How fast can you respond to a burst pipe?

We aim for same-day. Call us first — we can talk you through stopping the water immediately while we head over.

Do you fit electric showers?

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