Changed out a busted cartridge today on this shower…. Didn’t get any after pictures so just scroll backwards and it’ll be like me fitting the new one.

Out with the old, in with the new.

Replaced a tired single panel radiator with a more efficient unit today.

If your radiators struggle to heat the room, now is the time to upgrade.

Summer slots are easier to get. Winter is chaos.

Get in touch if you want yours sorted.

I said I’d post educational content, so here it is.

Outside taps.

If someone is offering to supply and fit one for £50 to £70, it is not being done properly. Simple as that.

The parts alone for a compliant install are around £50 to £55 once you include fixings like screws. That is materials only. No labour. No travel. No overheads.

So how is anyone doing the full job for that price?

They are not following regulations….
They are cutting corners….
Or they are not declaring the work….

A proper install needs correct backflow protection, isolation, and the right fittings to meet UK standards. That costs money.

A realistic price for a proper job sits around £120 to £160 depending on the setup.

If you choose the cheapest option, you are taking a risk with your water supply and your property.

And when it goes wrong, you will pay again to have it fixed properly.

You are not saving money. You are delaying the real cost.

EDIT
I chose to add compression fittings to this list as they’re somewhat in the middle between push fit, soldered and press fit. I’m putting this here before any Facebook plumbers come at me in the comments.

Toilet constantly running or refilling for no clear reason? One common cause is cistern cleaning tablets. The chemicals sit in the water all day and slowly damage the rubber seal inside the flush valve. Over time the seal warps or breaks down, which lets water leak into the pan and causes that constant trickle or random refilling. Best advice is to avoid tablets in the cistern and stick to rim blocks or manual cleaning. If your toilet is playing up and you’re not sure why, get in touch and I’ll take a look.

Customer called saying the sink was leaking and thought it was just a washer.

The sink had multiple pinholes around the waste, so every time the tap ran or the bowl filled, it leaked.

Removed and replaced.

Today, JAW Plumbing & Heating turns 1.

This time last year, I was sat at the kitchen table doubting myself. I wasn’t sure if I’d made the right decision leaving a stable job. The income was guaranteed, but the job made me miserable.

Fast forward 365 days and I’ve never been happier. Some days are slower than others, but I’ve made it work.

I’m living proof you are never stuck. You can change your situation.

A huge part of this is down to my better half, Manda. Without her support and push, I would still be in that same miserable job.

This one is for you.

On to year 2.
