What counts as general plumbing?

General plumbing covers everyday plumbing repairs, maintenance and small installations such as fixing leaks, repairing or replacing taps, toilets and wastes, replacing valves, adjusting water pressure issues, and making small pipework alterations.

Do you do leak repairs in Sidmouth?

Yes. We diagnose and repair leaking pipes, fittings, taps, toilets and wastes. Where possible we identify the cause of the leak and fix it properly to reduce the chance of repeat problems.

Can you repair or replace dripping taps and mixer taps?

Yes. We repair or replace taps, including diagnosing worn cartridges, seals and fittings, and installing quality replacements where repair is no longer reliable.

Do you fix toilets that keep running or won’t flush properly?

Yes. We carry out toilet repairs including faulty fill valves, flush valves, running cisterns, leaking pans and other common toilet issues.

Can you replace stop taps and isolation valves?

Yes. We repair or replace internal stop taps and isolation valves, and can advise on improving access and reliability for future maintenance.

Do you provide plumbing for landlords and rental properties?

Yes. We provide general plumbing repairs and maintenance for homeowners, landlords, holiday lets and small businesses, including responsive repairs and planned maintenance work.

Can you advise whether a repair is worth doing or if replacement makes more sense?

What Is General Plumbing?

General plumbing covers the everyday plumbing work that keeps your home functioning properly. These jobs are often small on their own, but when ignored they can quickly lead to water damage, higher bills or bigger failures.

Many plumbing issues start quietly — a dripping tap, a slow leak under a sink, a toilet that won’t stop running — and gradually get worse. Our role is to identify the cause, fix it correctly, and prevent repeat problems.

General Plumbing Services We Provide in Sidmouth

We regularly carry out the following general plumbing work:

Tap repairs and replacements
Dripping, leaking or loose taps
Toilet repairs (running cisterns, faulty flush valves, leaking pans)

Leaking pipework (visible and concealed)

Plumbing Repairs Done Properly (Not Just a Quick Patch)

We don’t believe in temporary fixes that fail a few weeks later.

When we attend a plumbing repair in Sidmouth, we:

Diagnose the root cause of the issue
Check surrounding pipework and fittings
Use quality parts and correct installation methods
Test the repair properly before leaving

This approach avoids repeat call-outs and gives you confidence the issue is genuinely resolved.
