Q: Why is my boiler making a lot of noise?

A noisy boiler is not a good sign and is likely an indicator that something isn’t quite right. ‘Kettling’ refers to the clunking and banging noises a boiler sometimes makes when limescale builds up on the heat exchanger, causing the water to boil and expand – just like in a kettle. Kettling will cause significant damage to your boiler over time, so it’s best to get it looked at in order to extend its lifespan for as long as possible.

Q: What do I do if a water pipe bursts?

If a water pipe bursts in your home, you should immediately turn off your water supply and electricity in the affected room, as well as remove any furniture from the affected area to avoid damage. You should then contact an emergency plumber, such as ourselves, immediately.

Q: How do I know if I have a pipe leak?

Evidence of a pipe leak isn’t always obvious. A sudden spike in your water bill may be an indication that you are using more water than usual, which can mean a leak. To test this, turn off all taps and appliances and check your water meter for a reading. Return 30 minutes later for a second reading – if the meter reading has changed, you probably have a leak.
