Plumber in Hersham
Most homeowners call a plumber when something stops working: a dripping tap, a blocked waste, a radiator that stays cold. Plumbers also fit new bathrooms and kitchen water supplies.
About Hersham
Hersham is a village just south of Walton-on-Thames in Elmbridge, built around its village green. Most homes here are a short drive from the neighbouring towns, so it is normal to ask tradespeople from Walton, Esher or Cobham as well.
Mention how many bathrooms and people use the water, because it can affect what they recommend for a boiler or cylinder.
Hersham is in Elmbridge, Surrey. If you cannot find the right plumber here, the nearby places Walton-on-Thames, Esher, Cobham and Weybridge each have their own page below or in the full list.
What a plumber does
Plumbers work with copper, plastic and flexible pipe, and usually carry common fittings. A bigger job such as a new cylinder or a bathroom move may need a second visit to collect parts.
Jobs people often ask plumbers to do:
- Fixing leaking taps, pipes and toilets
- Fitting a new sink, basin, bath or shower
- Replacing radiators and valves
- Fitting an outside tap
- Replacing a hot water cylinder
Before you book a plumber
- Gas work, such as fitting or servicing a boiler, must be done by someone on the Gas Safe Register. Ask to see the card and check the number on the register. Not every plumber does gas work.
- Ask whether the price is for labour only or includes parts, and whether there is a call-out charge on top.
- Unvented hot water cylinders are pressurised and have to be fitted by a suitably qualified installer. Ask who will sign it off.
- For a bathroom job, agree where the pipes and waste will go before tiling starts. Moving a toilet is much easier before the floor is finished.
