We’ve installed plenty of taps…
But none that work like this 🤯

Simple upgrade. Big difference

Would you want one in your kitchen?

⚠️ A recipe for disaster.

This 20-year-old gas storage hot water system had multiple critical faults:
• Faulty gas valve causing the unit to overheat
• TPR valve not discharging excessive temperature and pressure
• No tempering valve installed on the system

The result?
Boiling water and steam building up inside the system and travelling through the hot water pipework. Every time the client opened a tap, superheated water and steam were forced through the fixtures.

It is honestly a miracle no one was seriously hurt.
The TPR valve is designed to relieve excessive temperature and pressure. When it fails, the system becomes extremely dangerous. Without a tempering valve, there was nothing protecting the household from scalding water exceeding safe delivery temperatures.

We isolated the system immediately and replaced it the following day with a compliant, safe installation.
This is why regular servicing and correct safety valves matter.

If your hot water system is older, leaking from the TPR, or behaving unusually — get it checked.
Safety first. Always. 🔥💧

💥 This is a serious hot water system safety failure!

This gas storage heater had failed due to a faulty gas valve, causing the water inside the tank to heat all the way to boiling point.

To make matters worse, the TPR (temperature & pressure relief) valve had seized, meaning it wasn’t doing its job and discharging the excess heat and pressure.

When the TPR was manually operated, the system released boiling hot water and steam under pressure — a clear sign this unit was well beyond safe operation.
⚠️ This is an extremely dangerous scenario and could have resulted in serious injury or significant property damage if left unattended.

If your hot water system is:
Making unusual noises
Producing excessively hot water
Leaking, steaming, or smelling of gas
👉 Turn it off and get it checked immediately.

One of those urgent blocked sewer call-outs where everything lined up perfectly.

Close water supply for the jet blaster, easy access to the sewer, parking right nearby and even a bit of shade from a tree on a scorching day.

Makes a tough job that little bit easier and helps us get things flowing again quickly 💧🌳

Clearing a stubborn hair blockage from a shower drain in Gordon 🚿🧼

Slow drains are usually caused by a buildup of hair and soap over time. We removed the blockage, flushed the line, and had everything flowing freely again 💪💦
If your shower is draining slowly, it’s best to sort it early before it turns into a bigger drainage issue.

Another satisfying unblock today 🎣

This shower drain was completely backed up with a big clump of hair and debris

A quick run with the hand eel and the water was flowing perfectly again 💦

If your shower is draining slowly or starting to back up, it’s usually a sign that something is building up below the grate 🚿 🪠

A simple clean-out can make a huge difference.
