Common signs of a water leak include: unexpectedly high water bills, the sound of running water when no taps are on, damp patches on walls or ceilings, mold growth, and low water pressure. If you suspect a leak, turn off all water sources and check your water meter. If it's still moving, you likely have a leak.
In a plumbing emergency, follow these steps: 1) Turn off the main water supply to prevent further damage. 2) Turn off your boiler or water heater. 3) If there's an electrical risk, turn off electricity at the fuse box. 4) Contain small leaks with towels or buckets. 5) Call our emergency plumber in Exeter immediately at 07766 501664. We're available 24/7.
A constantly running toilet is typically caused by issues with the fill valve (ballcock) or flush valve. The rubber flapper may be worn out or the fill valve might need adjustment. Our expert plumbers can quickly diagnose and repair running toilets, saving you water and money on your utility bills.
Shower leaks when the water is turned off usually indicate worn-out washers, cartridges, or faulty shower valves. This can lead to water damage and increased water bills. Our shower leak repair specialists in Exeter can identify the source of the leak and provide efficient repairs to fix your leaking shower permanently.
Radiators that aren't heating properly could be suffering from air locks, sludge buildup, or circulation issues. If your radiator is cold at the top, it likely needs bleeding. If it's cold at the bottom, it may need power flushing. Our heating engineers can diagnose and fix radiators not heating properly, ensuring your home stays warm and comfortable.
Water coming through your ceiling is an emergency situation that requires immediate attention. First, turn off your water at the main stopcock and collect the dripping water if possible. Then call our emergency plumbers immediately. This could be caused by a burst pipe, leaking shower tray, bath overflow, or damaged water supply lines. Our leak detection specialists will find and fix the source quickly.
Installing a new electric shower typically takes 2-4 hours for a straight replacement. If it's a first-time installation requiring new electrical and plumbing connections, it may take 4-8 hours. Our shower installation experts in Exeter handle everything from removing your old shower to installing and testing your new one, ensuring safe electrical connections and proper water-tight seals.

Get answers to the most common plumbing questions from Exeter homeowners.
For burst pipe emergencies in Exeter, we typically respond within 30-45 minutes, depending on your location. Our emergency plumbers are strategically stationed throughout Exeter including St Thomas, Heavitree, and the City Centre to ensure rapid response times. We prioritize water leak emergencies as they can cause significant damage to your property if not addressed quickly.
Radiators not heating properly in Heavitree homes is often due to air trapped in the system, sludge build-up (common in older Exeter properties), or issues with your boiler. We recommend a professional radiator power flush which removes debris and restores efficient heating. For period properties in Heavitree, which often have older heating systems, we also check for corroded pipes and proper balancing of the system to ensure even heat distribution.
Water coming through ceilings in St Thomas properties is typically caused by leaking pipes, faulty shower seals, or overflowing baths/basins in upstairs bathrooms. In riverside areas of St Thomas, we also check for condensation issues that can be common due to higher humidity levels. Our leak detection specialists use non-invasive thermal imaging to precisely locate the source of the leak without unnecessary damage to your ceiling or walls.
Bathroom installation costs in Exeter typically range from £3,500 to £7,000, depending on the size, fixtures, and complexity. For period properties in areas like Pennsylvania or St Leonards, additional work may be required to accommodate modern plumbing. We provide free, detailed quotes tailored to your specific requirements and property type, whether you're in a modern apartment in the Quayside or a Victorian terrace in Newtown.
Yes, we specialize in electric shower installations throughout Exwick and West Exeter. Our fully qualified plumbers and electricians can install any brand of electric shower, ensuring proper water pressure and electrical connections. For Exwick properties with lower water pressure, we can recommend specific electric shower models that work optimally in these conditions. All our electric shower installations come with a certificate of compliance and 12-month warranty.
Dripping taps in Alphington homes are usually caused by worn washers or cartridges. While you can attempt a DIY fix by replacing the washer, many modern kitchen taps have complex designs that require professional attention. Our tap replacement and repair service covers all Alphington and South Exeter areas. We carry a wide range of tap parts suitable for both older properties with traditional taps and newer homes with contemporary mixer designs.
