Plumbing Services & Repairs in Southampton

Low water pressure can have several possible causes, including a local supply problem, partially closed valves, restrictions within the plumbing, faulty components or a water leak. If the pressure has suddenly changed or only certain taps and showers are affected, we can help investigate the likely cause.

Unexpected damp patches, staining or bubbling paint can sometimes indicate hidden leaking pipework or a problem with plumbing fixtures in the room above. Baths, showers, toilets, wastes and pipe connections are common areas to investigate. Finding the source early can help prevent further water damage.

A toilet cistern that takes an unusually long time to refill may have a restricted or faulty inlet valve, an issue with the water supply or a problem with the internal cistern components. In many cases, the faulty component can be repaired or replaced without needing to replace the entire toilet.

Poor shower pressure can be caused by several different plumbing problems depending on the type of shower and water system installed. Restrictions, faulty shower components, poor flow rates, valves or other plumbing issues may be responsible. We can investigate the problem and advise on the most appropriate solution.

Unpleasant smells from a kitchen or bathroom sink can be caused by waste build-up, trapped food or grease, problems with the trap, poor drainage or issues within the waste pipework. If cleaning the plughole doesn't solve the problem, further investigation may be required.

Banging, knocking, vibrating or other unusual plumbing noises can have several causes, including changes in water pressure, poorly secured pipework, fast-closing valves or movement within the plumbing system. Persistent or suddenly occurring noises are worth investigating, particularly if accompanied by changes in water pressure or leaks.

If something doesn't look, sound or work as it should, getting the problem checked early can often prevent a small plumbing fault from developing into a more expensive repair.

A dripping tap is often caused by a worn washer, damaged seal or faulty ceramic cartridge. Although a small drip might not seem urgent, it can waste water and often becomes worse over time. We repair and replace faulty kitchen taps, bathroom taps and outside taps throughout Southampton.

A toilet that continuously runs into the bowl or repeatedly refills usually indicates a problem inside the cistern. Common causes include faulty fill valves, flush valves, worn seals or incorrectly adjusted components. We can diagnose and repair many common toilet and cistern problems.

A slow-draining kitchen or bathroom sink usually means there is a restriction somewhere within the waste pipework. Grease, food deposits, soap residue, hair and other debris can gradually build up and reduce the flow of water. We can investigate blocked and slow-running wastes and determine the most appropriate way to clear them.

A radiator that is warm at the top but cold across the bottom can be a sign of sludge or debris restricting circulation through the radiator. If several radiators are affected or your heating system takes a long time to warm up, the system may require further investigation. KJP specialises in radiator problems, heating system cleaning and professional powerflushing across Southampton.

Cold areas at the top of a radiator are commonly associated with trapped air. Bleeding the radiator may solve the problem, but if it repeatedly fills with air or fails to heat correctly afterwards, there may be another issue within the system that requires investigation.

Leaking outside taps are commonly caused by worn internal components, damaged seals, loose connections or frost damage. Even a relatively small outside tap leak can waste a considerable amount of water over time. We can repair or replace damaged outside taps and associated pipework.

Leaks beneath kitchen sinks commonly come from tap connections, isolation valves, waste traps, seals, appliance connections or the surrounding pipework. Because several plumbing connections are often located in a small area beneath the sink, identifying exactly where the water originates is important before carrying out the repair.
