The stop tap test everyone should do

Go and find your stop tap now. This paragraph will wait. Under the kitchen sink usually, sometimes the downstairs loo or under the stairs. Now turn it: does it move? In a worrying number of Warwick homes the answer is no, it seized up around 2009, and nobody finds out until water's pouring through a ceiling and every second counts.

A stop tap replacement is a small, boring, cheap job. It's also the single most useful bit of preventative plumbing you can buy. We fit modern quarter-turn valves that your least practical family member could operate in a panic.

Low pressure, decoded

One tap weak? That tap's problem, probably a clogged aerator, thirty seconds to check. Whole house weak, and the neighbours too? Severn Trent's network, not your plumbing, so save your money. Whole house weak but next door's fine? Now it's interesting: a failing stop tap, a hidden leak on your supply pipe, or in older houses the original narrow pipe simply can't feed a modern home's taps and shower at once. Our pressure guide walks through the checks; we handle whatever they turn up.

General maintenance for homes and landlords

The other half of this page is the unglamorous stuff: leak checks, minor repairs, bathroom and kitchen upkeep, and the rolling list of small jobs every property accumulates. Homeowners tend to save them up for one visit. Landlords put us on speed dial across their lets and pair the maintenance with the annual CP12 certificate. Either way it's the same idea: one person who knows your property, instead of a stranger every time.
