Plumbing in Stirling &
Dunblane done right

Among the calls John gets, a great deal are related to water damage and finding the source of the leaking water. The majority are usually caused by mouldy sealant which has torn away from the bath or shower tray. This can be hard to detect but over time causes an astonishing amount of damage to the floor beneath.

What sometimes accompanies mouldy sealant is cracked grout which also contributes to bathroom leaks. John has detected and solved many leaks over his years as a plumber in Stirling — from leaking fittings to blocked pipes.

Using his background and knowledge John aims to find the source of the leaking water, fix it, and if there is superficial plasterboard or tiling work needed, can also fix it up like new.

Where a joiner or other specialist is needed — for example if the damage is severe and wet or dry rot needs to be investigated — John will let you know clearly and honestly.

A common problem with old or badly installed pipework is the occurrence of airlocks. These happen when pipework hasn't been installed with the required gradient to release any trapped air. When an airlock occurs, there will often be a greatly reduced flow rate or no water supply to a given appliance — but these are usually easy to rectify if you know how.

Drainage blockages make up a large part of John's work in Stirling. Blockages can occur in any section of drainage pipework and it's John's job to find where along the line the problem lies and how to fix it.

This is done using a range of plumbing tools — from drainage rods to tools that use compressed air to clear the blockage. The problem is always located and rectified.

This is a broad service that usually involves replacing any faulty internal valves or fittings. Common jobs include the internals of toilet cisterns and cold water storage cylinders.

Repairing basin, bath, garden or kitchen taps is also a common job John undertakes on a regular basis across Stirling and Dunblane.

Replacing valves and repairing radiators or hot water storage cylinders — seized or leaking valves and fittings can all be replaced or fixed, along with any drainage fittings and pipework that has become problematic.

All moving parts have some kind of shelf life and when you add in the fact that they are surrounded by water day in day out, you can see how problems occur.

This service covers the installation of all water inlet pipework along with all drainage pipework required for any given appliance, including all appropriate valves and fittings to comply with current regulations.

Whether it be a kitchen sink, a new bath, or a full installation of a new three piece bathroom suite — John covers it all. Other common appliances include dishwashers, washing machines, bathroom sinks, toilets, electric/mixer showers, baths, towel rails, cold and hot water tanks.

Perhaps replacing or adding a new radiator to your central heating system? No matter if it is a single tap or a contract for numerous bathroom suites, this service covers it all.
