The recent flooding that has occurred has seen the calls for local plumbers in Herne Bay and surrounding areas to rocket, we have attended various properties that have suffered some flooding and provided pumps or heaters & dehumidifiers to help. The floods have also caused lots of problems with rain water soak aways. Soak aways are just large holes in the ground and either crates or stone filled to soak up the rain water that comes down from the roof into the gutter then down into the soak away. With the heavy rain fall we have been having the soak aways have not be able to take the take the amount of water. Taking calls for emergency plumbers to attend, we have found that on arrival the rain has stopped and the problem has subsided. We then can only advise to wait for what we would call normal rain fall and see if the soak away takes the down poor. Most of the time it will, but sometimes we get called back and a new soak away is required. If you are in need of a local plumber contact us now for a free quote or just some friendly advise

Here is a simple three step plan to make sure you’re warm during the winter months:

The first time you fire on your boiler and we advise slowly turning up the thermostat so as the system can slowly get back into heating your home.
Over the summer there could have been sludge settle in the system and if not fitted with a magna cleanse then the sludge could pump round into the boiler and cause all sorts of trouble.

Gas leak for an elderly customer

Jimmy Bailey — Fri, 30 Aug 2013 09:30:13 +0000

We had a call from a customer who had a gas leak in sittingbourne kent. We acted quickly and was with the customer within one hour. On arrival the gas meter was caped off by the gas supplier. Our gas engineer then tested the supply to locate the leak which was found to be on multiple joints concealed under the floor. We then discussed with the costumer the best possible route to re run the supply. The customer was elderly and wanted the route with the least amount of access made ie taking up floor boards removing kitchen units etc. the engineer then advised the lady that the only other route would be to run the pipe work surface but a 15mm gas pipe would be visible in the kitchen the customer opted for this option as she had no heating or hot water and wanted the job carried out the most cost effected way the pipe was run at ceiling level connecting to a water heater and to a boiler the cooker was left disconnected as the appliance was deemed at risk and was issued with a warning notice as to the gas safe ‘un safe situations procedure’ then the correct safety checks was carried out on the appliances. The gas was turned on and tested every thing was working and the customer then had hot water and heating with no access having to be made keeping the damage to minimal. When the job was complete a fault with the gas meter was found as there was no electrical earth bonding at the gas meter this is only classed as not to current standards but the customer took no risks and we arranged for an electrician to attend to earth bond the gas meter that same day.
