FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures do you replace in the Manchester area?
We replace a full range of residential and light-commercial plumbing fixtures, including kitchen and bathroom taps, shower valves, toilets, bidets, pedestal and wall-hung sinks, utility basins, garbage disposals, and outdoor hose bibbs. We also handle specialty items such as low-flow toilets and sensor-activated taps for businesses.
How long does a typical plumbing fixture replacement take?
Most single-fixture replacements (e.g., a tap or toilet) can be completed in 1–2 hours once we are on site. More complex projects—such as replacing multiple fixtures, relocating supply lines, or upgrading shut-off valves—may take half a day to a full day. We always provide a time estimate during our free pre-installation survey.
Do you supply the new fixtures, or can I purchase my own?
We offer both options. Many customers prefer our supply-and-fit service because we source fixtures from reputable brands known for durability and we can pass on trade discounts. However, if you’ve already chosen a specific model, we’re happy to install customer-supplied fixtures as long as they meet UK plumbing standards and come with all required parts.
What kind of warranty do you provide on your fixture replacements?
All labour is covered by our 12-month workmanship guarantee. In addition, most fixtures we supply carry a manufacturer’s warranty ranging from 5 years to lifetime, depending on the brand and product line. Should any issue arise within the warranty period, we coordinate directly with the manufacturer and handle the replacement at no extra labour cost.
How do you ensure long-lasting performance after installation?
We follow WRAS-certified installation practices, use high-quality valves, PTFE tape, and corrosion-resistant fittings, and flush the lines to remove debris that can damage cartridges. We also balance water pressure, check for leaks with pressure gauges, and provide maintenance tips such as periodic aerator cleaning. These steps help extend fixture life and maintain optimal flow.
Are there any local regulations in Manchester I should be aware of before replacing fixtures?
Yes. Greater Manchester follows UK Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, which require backflow prevention and certified components. If you’re upgrading to water-saving fixtures, you may qualify for United Utilities rebates. For listed buildings or properties in conservation areas, certain visible external changes (e.g., outdoor taps) may require planning permission. We handle all compliance checks and paperwork for you.
