A leak you can’t see
Damp on the wall, a stain growing, water on the floor — it’s escaping from somewhere inside the wall.
- Damp patches
- Water on the floor
- Pressure dropping
Plumbing
From a hidden leak to a dry, working wall. Scroll to watch it happen.
This is how a typical plumbing repair unfolds, stage by stage — the same order we follow on site.
02 of 07
Finding the exact spot
We open only as much of the wall as needed and trace the pipe to the faulty joint.
- Moisture check
- Small opening
- Fault located
03 of 07
Shut off and drain
Water is closed at the valve and the line is drained, so nothing floods while we work.
- Close the valve
- Drain the line
- Protect the floor
04 of 07
Replace the damaged part
The corroded section is cut out and a new pipe with new fittings goes in — no patching.
- Cut out the old part
- New pipe & fittings
- Sound joints

Reconnect the fixtures
Taps, sink drain, toilet and washing machine are connected on the hot, cold and waste lines.
- Hot & cold supply
- Drain & waste
- Appliance connections

Pressure test
Water comes back on and the line is watched under pressure before the wall is closed — a leak would show here, not later.
- Restore pressure
- Watch the gauge
- Check every joint

Wall closed, water running
The wall is closed and re-tiled, the tap runs and everything stays dry.
- Wall re-tiled
- Taps running
- Final check

Washing machine repair
From a machine stuck full of water to a finished cycle. Scroll to watch.
This is how a typical washing machine repair goes, step by step — in the same order as on site.
01 of 07
The machine stops mid-cycle
The cycle breaks off, the display shows an error and the drum stays full of dirty water, with the laundry soaking inside.
- Error on the display
- Water stuck in the drum
- Cycle will not finish
02 of 07
Finding the cause
We read the error code and open the machine. The drain pump is the usual suspect, so that is where we look first.
- Error code read
- Cabinet opened
- Drain pump checked
03 of 07
Power off, water off, drum drained
We unplug the machine, close the water tap and drain the drum into a bowl before touching anything inside.
- Unplug it
- Close the tap
- Drain the drum
04 of 07
Pump out — blockage found
The pump comes out through the front hatch. A sock and a coin have jammed the impeller, and the pump is worn.
- Pump removed
- Sock and coin found
- Impeller damaged
05 of 07
New pump fitted
A new drain pump goes in, the connections are tightened and the drain hose goes back on the standpipe.
- New drain pump
- Hoses and clamps
- Drain hose reconnected
06 of 07
A full test cycle
We plug in, open the tap and run a test cycle — fill, spin and drain — watching every connection for leaks.
- Fill and wash
- Spin
- Drain, no leaks
07 of 07
Cabinet closed, cycle complete
The cabinet goes back on and the display shows a finished cycle. The machine is ready to use.
- Cabinet closed
- Cycle complete
- Ready to use
