What minor plumbing fault diagnosis covers
This service focuses on finding the root cause of common household plumbing problems and putting a clear repair plan in place.
- Tracing visible and hidden leaks around pipework, fittings and appliances
- Investigating low water pressure, slow flow and intermittent supply issues
- Checking taps, toilets and valves for wear, blockages or failed components
- Identifying causes of banging, whistling or noisy pipework (where accessible)
- Isolating the water supply safely to prevent further damage
- Minor repairs or component replacement where appropriate and agreed
- Testing after work to confirm correct operation
When this service is most useful
Book a diagnosis when you know something is wrong, but the cause is not obvious. It is also a good fit if the fault comes and goes, has started after other work, or you want to prevent a small issue becoming a larger leak or water damage claim.
What happens during the visit
The engineer will ask a few quick questions about symptoms and when they occur, then inspect the relevant fixtures and accessible pipework. Where needed, the supply can be isolated to work safely. You will be told what has been found, what needs doing next, and any options, so you can make an informed decision before repairs proceed.
After the diagnosis
Once the fault is identified, you will get clear guidance on the recommended fix, any parts required, and what can be repaired now versus booked in. After any repair work, the system is tested and you will be advised on simple steps to reduce the chance of a repeat issue, such as operating isolation valves or spotting early warning signs.
