As we all ready ourselves for the harsh reality of winter, ask yourself if your house is ready for winter.
Here's a few tips to try and help you avoid unnecessary expensive winter call outs.

🌬️🌪️ Autumn storms are arriving, make sure garden items are secured down or stored away, pick up debris which could block your drains. We often see damage pipework caused by furniture getting blown about.

🌧️☔💦 With the wind comes the rain, and when it rains it pours. Next time it rains, go outside (it's just rain you'll be ok) and check your gutters aren't overflowing and the drains at the bottom are free from leaves and obstruction. Most domestic flooding can be avoided by carrying out this simple check and acting on it if there is a problem.

🥶⛄❄️ Then comes the cold. Can't emphasize enough the importance of lagging external water pipes and taps, ideally winterize the pipes, isolate the water and cover with pipe lagging, old cloths or whatever you have at hand.

🧑‍🎄🐭🐀 We love to welcome visitors on a cold winter evening, but Santa isn't the only one trying to visit. If it's cold out, mice and rats want to come in. If you see any holes in your building, fill them, monitor them. A mouse can fit in a pencil sized hole and rat through a Sharpie sized hole.

We hope you all have a wonderful safe warm winter, and that you won't need to see us. However if you do have any worries or need a trusted family business to get you out of trouble, give Callum Burkitt or Shez Burkitt a call or WhatsApp on 07766882902

Would you have believed me??

Whilst on a job I found the customers neighbour with some issues. Believing their manhole was a communal one I found it completely blocked and surrounded by rat holes. We informed the property owner who was completely unaware, after testimony from the existing customer she was happy to go ahead with works suggested, putting her faith into someone who had just knocked on her door.

She informed us that all toilets and plumbing were playing up and that she had several plumbers out, quoting to change all toilets!! I had told her that I was confident it was all related to this blocked manhole.

I unblocked the sewer, removed two bags of rubble, carried out a full visual inspection cctv survey and capped off two old connections. Much to the customers delight, once the manhole was unblocked the plumbing issues were all fixed! Two birds with one stone 😅👍

Another happy customer.

There's me blaming the heron, employed a security croc to deal with that threat, not seen a heron in days. Then this cheeky little m***a fluffer rocks up and nicks a perch.
May turn croc into belt to beat magpie with 🤔

Do you drink your tap water? 💧

We don't always do drains and rodent control, often we're called to burst water mains. The old metal is commonly very rusty and not in great condition.
The picture below is the cross section of a bit of water main we removed whilst repairing a leak. Yes that does supply the taps that they were drinking from!! Not every house will be like this or even be made from the same material.

Nowadays we use a blue plastic which is much better.

Sometimes our customers ask us how powerful our water jets are, it's difficult to describe, so here's a demonstration of our inline concrete removal jet blasting through an inch thick piece of wood in seconds.
