The one tap everyone
should know about.
Finding your stop tap before you need it can make a stressful leak a little easier to handle. Here’s where to look, and how to turn it off safely.
Read the stop-tap guide05 / GOOD QUESTIONS
Let’s clear
a few things up.
Plain answers. A useful place to start.
Yes. Tom is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week across Hull and the surrounding areas, with no travel charge. Call 07958 649250 to discuss the problem and arrange an arrival time.
The first hour is £165, then £45 for every additional 30 minutes. These fixed rates apply day and night, including weekends and bank holidays. Labour and basic materials up to £15 are included. Materials over £15 cost extra, agreed before the work.
Tom operates as a sole trader with public liability cover up to £1 million through Simply Insurance. Emergency work has a seven-day workmanship guarantee; bathrooms and larger works have a 12-month workmanship guarantee. Contact Tom if there is a problem with the work.
Turn off your internal stop tap if it is safe to reach, and keep away from wet electrics and any sagging ceiling. Do not force a stuck valve. Contact Tom or your water supplier if you cannot isolate the supply.
Read the stop-tap guideOften under the kitchen sink, in a utility room, under the stairs or close to where the water pipe enters your home. In a flat, check with your building manager if the supply is shared or the valve is not clearly labelled.
Describe the problem, when it started, the affected fitting and whether the water is isolated. Your postcode and the make or model can help. Ask whether the quote includes labour, parts, VAT and any call-out charge.
A worn washer or ceramic cartridge is a common cause. Tightening the handle harder is unlikely to help and can damage the fitting. The correct replacement part depends on the tap model.
