No hot water in High Cross? Plumbing sorted properly
No hot water but heating still works? On a combi, that's almost always a diverter valve, diaphragm or PCB issue. We carry the common parts, diagnose on-site and usually get it fixed in one visit across High Cross. For plumbing jobs in High Cross we work cleanly, isolate properly, and never just clamp a leak when it needs a proper soldered or pressed joint.
