General plumbing in Bournemouth
Not every plumbing job is an emergency or a big renovation. A dripping tap, a radiator that won't heat up, or a toilet that keeps running quietly in the background are all worth sorting before they waste water or get worse.
A dripping tap is almost always a worn washer or cartridge — cheap to fix, but it's easy to put off until the drip has cost more in water than the repair would have. A toilet that refills itself every so often without being used usually has a worn flush valve or float, which is a similarly small job.
Cold radiators, or radiators that are cold at the top and warm at the bottom, are usually trapped air and need bleeding. Cold at the bottom and warm at the top more often points to sludge build-up, which may need a power flush rather than just bleeding.
If you've got a list of smaller jobs that have been waiting for "someday", it's often more efficient to have a plumber look at everything in one visit rather than calling separately for each one.
When to call a plumber
