Plumbing alongside drainage
Harry Drains Ltd is a drainage and plumbing specialist. Alongside drainage work, we offer general plumbing, covering repairs and installs for homes and commercial properties.
The advantage of having both under one roof is that problems that sit between the two do not fall through the gap. If you are not sure whether you have a drain problem or a plumbing problem, call 07301 977507 and describe what you are seeing. We can look at it from either side.
For anything involving blocked or damaged drains, see our drain unblocking and drainage repairs pages.
When to call about plumbing
If any of these sound familiar, it is worth getting it looked at before it gets worse.
- A repair that needs doing
- A new installation
- A problem that might be drains or pipework
- Water in places it should not be
- A property where both drainage and plumbing need attention
- A job you would like to arrange with one contact
Common causes of plumbing problems
- Worn washers, seals and fittings. Dripping taps and slow leaks often come from parts that have simply worn out.
- Ageing pipework. Older pipes can corrode, crack or fail at joints.
- Frost. Cold weather can freeze and split exposed pipes.
- Poor installation. Work that was not done well can fail later.
- Blocked or slow waste pipes. A plumbing symptom that may actually be a drain problem.
What happens on a visit
You call or send a WhatsApp message and tell us what is wrong. We come to you, work out what is causing the problem, and carry out the repair or installation. When we have finished, we tidy up.
If it turns out that the real issue is the drains, we are able to deal with that as well, with unblocking, jetting or a CCTV survey, rather than sending you somewhere else.
Plumbing jobs go more smoothly when we know a little in advance. Tell us what the fitting or pipe is, what it is doing, and whether water is escaping. For installations, tell us what you plan to fit and where. A photo of the area is often the quickest way to explain it.
How plumbing jobs work
Call or WhatsApp, tell us what you need, and send a photo if it helps. We come to you, work out what is required, and get it done and tidied. For emergencies involving drains, our response is 24/7.
Domestic and commercial properties
At home
At home, plumbing jobs range from repairs, such as a leaking tap or pipe, to installations. Tell us what you need and send a photo if it helps.
For businesses
For businesses and landlords, reliable plumbing and drainage from one contact makes it simpler to keep a property in good order.
How to avoid plumbing problems
A few small habits make a real difference.
- Know where your stopcock is, so you can turn the water off quickly
- Fix drips and small leaks early, as they tend to get worse
- Protect exposed pipes in cold weather
- Do not force stiff taps or valves
- Keep waste pipes clear of grease and debris
When to call us
Call if you have a leak, a fitting that needs replacing, or something to install. If water is escaping and you cannot stop it, turn off the water at the stopcock and ring 07301 977507 straight away. For drainage emergencies our response is 24/7; for other plumbing work, call and tell us what is needed.
