Septic tanks & sewage systems: Same / Next-Day Service
A full or failing septic tank doesn't wait: once the outlet backs up, toilets and sinks in the house stop draining, and overflow can reach a watercourse — which the Environment Agency takes seriously. Regular emptying is far cheaper than an emergency.

Common Systems We Work On
Homes come with every generation of plumbing and heating. The teams work on most of it, including:
Combi boilers
The most common boiler in UK homes: heats water on demand with no tank or cylinder. Faults tend to be pressure loss, ignition or the diverter valve.
System & regular boilers
Work with a hot water cylinder (and, for regular boilers, a loft tank). Suit bigger homes with more than one bathroom.
Hot water cylinders
Vented (loft tank) or unvented (mains pressure). Unvented cylinders need an annual check and a G3-qualified engineer.
Radiators & heating controls
Panel, column and towel radiators, TRVs, thermostats and smart controls. Cold spots usually mean air or sludge.
Showers
Mixer, thermostatic, electric and power showers. Most faults are a worn cartridge, a scaled head or a failing electric unit.
Taps & mixers
Pillar taps, monobloc mixers and bath fillers. A drip is almost always a washer, cartridge or seal.
Toilets & cisterns
Close-coupled, back-to-wall and concealed cisterns. Running or weak flushes are usually the fill or flush valve.
Drains, wastes & pipework
Sinks, baths, outside gullies and manholes; copper, plastic and — in older homes — lead pipework.

Other Plumbers Today services in Leicester
Blocked or damaged drains
A drainage engineer clears the blockage with rods or high-pressure jetting, then checks the run is flowing freely. For repeat blockages, collapsed pipes or root damage, a CCTV survey shows exactly what's wrong before any digging; relining can often fix a damaged run without excavation.
Blocked sink, bath or toilet
Most blockages are cleared on the first visit with hand tools, a drain rod or a high-pressure jet. If it keeps coming back, the engineer looks for the cause — a collapsed pipe, tree roots or a build-up further down the line.
General plumbing
Any plumbing job that doesn't fit a neat category — from a running toilet or a new outside tap to tracing a mystery noise. Describe it on the call and you'll be put through to the right person.
