This week has involved a lot of leaks, and this job was no different…

Charlie was called out to Huws Gray where the mains water pipe in the kitchen was leaking where the top of the stop c**k connects to the pipe. He took apart the pipework and found that the olive had deteriorated. He replaced this and put some paste around to create the correct seal. Job done.

But let’s backtrack for a minute…what on earth is an olive? Plumbing olives are small rings used in compression fittings to create watertight seals between pipes and fittings. You are welcome!

Have you ever tried plumbing in a washing machine? It’s one of those jobs that seem easy and that many people will do themselves. But it can be tricky, and it’s often best left to an expert. It’s not an expensive job and can prevent experiencing water damage, particularly to flooring.

We received a callout to a kitchen sink which was leaking. Charlie found that the washing machine connection was loose and needed tightening up. Some jobs, such as this one, are small for us but can make a big difference to our customers.

Charlie recently visited the team at Boom Battle Bar in Cambridge. If you haven’t been, you need to. If you have been, then you will know why! Sadly, Charlie wasn’t there for the social side, but there is always next time.

The macerator serving one of the toilets had failed, causing blockages; consequently, the unit was not emptying on its own. A repair wasn’t possible (and isn’t always a cost-effective solution anyway), so Charlie removed the old macerator and installed a new one.

Without going into detail, let’s just say the toilet now flushes as it should—another successful outcome.

Today marks the start of spring, and that makes us very happy because who doesn’t like the warmer months?

When we think of spring, we think of sunshine, hot cross buns (of course!), barbecues and cold beverages…possibly with ice and a slice. But what is your favourite thing about the new season?

Happy spring equinox, everyone!

Not all bathroom leaks are down to dodgy taps…although this is common. It is nearly always a simple job, but one that can end a lot of frustration. That drip, drip, drip is enough to drive anyone mad.

Charlie was recently called out to a bathroom leak in Saffron Walden. This one was a bit different, but also not uncommon. On investigation, he found the waste was cracked and leaking. It was a simple switch from an old part to a new one, which is often the cause.

So if you have – what you hope is – a small plumbing job, why not get it sorted? We are available 24/7 and cover the Ely and Cambridgeshire area.

We were called out to Huwys Gray for an issue with a macerator which was leaking. Charley knew almost immediately that the unit would need replacing, so after the quote was approved, he switched it over and completed the job quickly and efficiently. We have completed work for these guys before, and it is always a pleasure.

It’s fun fact time…you lucky people!

Did you know that before becoming famous, musician and reality star Ozzy Osbourne trained as a plumbing apprentice?

Yep, it’s true! Well, Google told us it was true…it may not be. Just humour us, though, please 😂.
