This magnetic filter hadn't been cleaned for years! 😬

All this sludge caused the boiler's diverter valve to seize and blocked the plate heat exchanger, meaning the heating came on whenever the customer used the hot water.

Both parts had to be replaced.

A simple annual boiler service, including cleaning the magnetic filter, helps prevent costly repairs and keeps your heating system running efficiently.

Don't skip your boiler service – prevention is always cheaper than repair.

🧑🏻‍🔧 Another happy customer!

Today I replaced a faulty toilet flush valve that had been constantly leaking into the pan. I upgraded it to a high-quality dual flush syphon and also fitted a new fill valve to ensure everything was working as it should.

I also found that the previous installer hadn't used wall plugs when securing the cistern to the wall, leaving it loose. I fitted the correct wall plugs and securely fixed the cistern in place.

Everything was thoroughly tested before I left, and it's now working perfectly. 🚽✅

Another quality repair completed last week. 👨‍🔧

The customer had an ongoing leak beneath their basin after a previous installation had been poorly carried out. Parts had been damaged and silicone had been used as a temporary fix rather than addressing the root cause.

I replaced the entire basin waste and click-clack plug with high-quality brass components instead of plastic, creating a much stronger, more durable installation. Everything was fitted correctly, thoroughly tested, and left completely leak-free.

At 1Gas & Plumbing, I believe in fixing problems properly the first time using quality materials that are built to last.

New gas hob installed. Make sure to measure twice before buying your hob. Also check the gas inlet too because it's more costly to re-pipe the gas run
