Plumber in Kingston
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 Kingston

Homes near water can have damp ground, so ask about pipe protection and drainage if you are working under a floor.

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:
- Fitting a new sink, basin, bath or shower
- Clearing blocked sinks, baths and drains
- Installing a washing machine or dishwasher supply
- Replacing a hot water cylinder
- Moving or extending pipework for a new bathroom
Before you book a plumber
- Unvented hot water cylinders are pressurised and have to be fitted by a suitably qualified installer. Ask who will sign it off.
- Ask what happens if the fix does not hold. A good tradesperson will tell you plainly whether work is guaranteed and for how long.
- 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.
- Ask if the plumber carries public liability insurance. It is a normal question and an honest answer takes a few seconds.
