Question 1

How much does a plumber cost in Woking?

Accepted Answer

Plumbing costs in Woking vary by job type. Common repairs such as a running toilet typically cost £75–£140, drain unblocking £80–£160, and leak detection £75–£150. Emergency callouts may carry a small out-of-hours supplement. We always provide a clear fixed price before starting any work.

Question 2

What should I do if a pipe bursts?

Accepted Answer

Turn off your stopcock immediately (usually under the kitchen sink). Switch off electricity near the water. Mop up excess water if safe to do so. Then call us on 07714 433 429 — we provide 24/7 emergency plumbing cover across Woking and Surrey.

Question 3

How quickly can a plumber attend in Surrey?

Accepted Answer

For emergencies across Woking and the surrounding Surrey area, we aim to attend within 1–2 hours. For non-emergency work, we offer same-day and next-day appointments in most cases.

Question 4

Why is my toilet constantly running?

Accepted Answer

A constantly running toilet is almost always caused by a faulty flapper valve, a worn fill valve, or an incorrectly adjusted float. These parts are inexpensive and can usually be replaced within the hour. Left unrepaired, a running toilet wastes up to 400 litres of water per day.

Question 5

Why does my radiator stay cold?

Accepted Answer

A cold radiator is usually caused by trapped air (requiring bleeding), a closed or faulty lockshield valve, a stuck thermostatic radiator valve (TRV), or an imbalanced heating system. In some cases it can indicate sludge buildup. We diagnose and resolve all common radiator faults across Woking and Surrey.

Question 9

How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?

Accepted Answer

Signs of a hidden water leak include unexplained increases in your water bill, damp patches on walls or ceilings, the sound of running water when nothing is turned on, warm spots on floors, or a water meter that continues moving when all taps are off. We use acoustic leak detection equipment to pinpoint concealed leaks without unnecessary damage to your property.
