Cross Emergency Plumbing Woking

Hot Water Supply

The great majority of hot water supply installations in Woking include provision for storage of heated water in adequate quantity to meet maximum concentrated demand, with water heated slowly and continuously between periods of demand. In domestic installations, water is usually heated by means of a heat source that provides heat for other purposes. A boiler supplying radiators or a back boiler to an open fire or a stove. Water or heat being transferred to the storage point by convection. The direct system, widely used on small-scale supply systems for economic reasons, has the disadvantage that freshwater is continuously passing through the boiler and boiler cylinder, circulating the pipes. This formation of hardness deposits over long periods is progressively reducing pipe bores in the boiler and boiler and cylinder capacity, with consequent loss of efficiency in the system. (Boilers intended for this type of circulation are fitted with cleaning holes on the boiler water jacket that allow periodic removal of scale from the inside.)

Types of boiler maintenance and settings

Boilers and radiators may heat only the domestic water supply or both the domestic water and central-heating systems. Domestic-water boilers and radiators are usually free-standing and may be fired by oil, gas, or solid fuel.

Some plumbing engineers prefer to work on open solid fuel fires, however, they also incorporate a back-boiler. Fuel fires, however, also incorporate a back-boiler. Fuel fires and central-heating boilers are larger than those that heat only domestic hot water, but they work on the same basic principle.

They can use oil, gas, or solid fuels. The burner is usually controlled automatically according to the setting of a boiler or room thermostat. Many can be controlled to heat only the domestic hot-water supply and not the room radiators. Maintenance for all types of central-heating old boilers should never try to adjust any of the control mechanisms.

If a  boiler is used during the summer, have the whole system serviced twice a year. If it is used only in the winter, have it overhauled by a competent plumber or engineer every autumn before switching it on. Regular servicing of your old boiler will prevent repairs and emergency callouts.

Toilet Blocked? Need an emergency plumber? This is how you can unblock a toilet

One of the most frustrating things that can happen at home is a blocked toilet. Blocked toilets are often caused by something getting stuck in the gully, pipe, or trap. There may be many reasons why a blocked toilet has occurred.

The most common reason for toilet blockages in Woking is excessive toilet paper. Excess toilet paper thrown into the lavatory will be difficult to flush away in one go. The plumber’s plunger is a great tool, cheap to buy, and can be very effective when a toilet pan is blocked. If the block is due to toilet paper, it can sometimes be difficult to shift. It may be possible to dislodge the paper with a flexible plastic rod or cane.

What if i don’t have a Plunger?

If you don’t have a regular plunger to plunge the Toilet bowl, you can shift the offending object with a mop. Place a plastic bag over the mop head and secure the bag with elastic band or a piece of string. Plunge the toilet, but do not use to much force. Plunge the toilet until the toilet has been unblocked.

A constant water supply is undoubtedly one of the greatest luxuries civilisation has to offer. Like so many modern miracles, we naturally learn to take it for granted until something goes wrong. The first part of this website shows how typical systems work and where you would expect to find the all-important emergency stopcocks. The aim is to take the panic out of the situation and put you back in control. An early part shows how to carry out simple plumbing repair and maintenance jobs with a minimal tool kit and recommends a few items no householder should be without. More involved emergency plumbing projects are then described, with step-by-step instructions different techniques. Armed with this information it should be possible for anyone with modest ability to tackle most of the jobs described in this website. Naturally it pays to walk before you run and the absolute beginner should consider smaller jobs first.

Advantages and disadvantages of doing the Plumbing yourself?

I think I can best gain your trust by being honest; that way you’ll believe me when I say that you can do a job yourself. I also think it is a good idea before you start any piece of work, to see how much it will really cost you both in money and in time- If you then get a quote from a plumber you may find that it is hardly worth the bother of doing it yourself; money that it will keep you cheered during all the weeks of work and frustration.

A plumber’s price will consist of labour costs, materials costs, and overheads and profits. Each of these factors is about one-third of his total bill. Do not assume, though, that by doing it yourself you will save two-thirds. The contractor buys his materials at a considerable discount, and you will have to buy or hire tools.

It is safe to assume, however, that on average you will save about and even that sounds quite good. Another less obvious advantage is that by placing pipes. exactly where you want them, by burying pipes in the  kitchen cabinets exactly where they are needed, you may well finish with a much neater job than a plumber might have done.

Some plumbers do not seem to care about these matters and will cheerfully hack holes in expensive hole saws had never been invented. You can also, by doing your own tiling, electrical work and carpentry as well as plumbing, integrate the trades (plumbing, carpentry, tilling bathroom or kitchen which is normally seen only in magazines, with Price tag of around £20,000 madam.

Then too the job you do yourself can be done when you want it done, and not just when the busy plumber has a spare moment. Often the month or two you have to wait for him to turn up more than outweighs the speed (his three days to your two months) with which he does the job.

The biggest disadvantage in doing it yourself, though, is that it does take very much longer especially if you work at it only at evenings and weekends. A job which might take a plumber two days might take you two weeks” being without a bath or w.c. for that period is not so convenient. Careful planning, the purchase of some extra fittings (as a precaution) and the use of a good handbook will help, as will the co-operation and kindness of helpful friends and neighbours.

A further disadvantage is that when you do the job yourself rather than an emergency plumber, you may finish up with something you feel a real plumber might have done much better. You may console yourself with the thought that many professionals make a very sloppy job. And in any case if you know in advance that the pipework will look as though it’s been done up in very sloppy job And in any Case if you know in advance that the pipework will look as though it’s been done up in haste and repented at leisure you can always arrange matters in such a way that the pipes are hidden by some knotty-pine panelling or by poly-fila.

The final disadvantage in plumbing it yourself is that it’s a lot of hard work. You’ll finish with sore muscles, grazed knuckles, raw elbows. Not always, but often enough. But for all that, plumbing it in yourself can be fun and you may be very pleasantly surprised in these inflationary times to realise how much money you have saved.

Planning is Key before taking on Plumbing Jobs

The more involved projects such as fitting a new bathroom suite are divided into man age able sections which also show how a great deaI of the disruption associated such jobs can be avoided by careful planning. Many DIY projects grind to a halt, not through lack of enthusiasm or practical ability but because the person carrying out the work has failed to give it sufficient fore thought, sometimes including attention to building regulations and water byelaws.

CENTRAL HEATINC

Heating systems can cause their own peculiar problems but cannot be considered entirely separately from the plumbing system. The principles and a few emergency repairs are dealt with in the early sections but for anyone wishing to alter or install a complete system the bulk of information is contained in the last section of this website. Notable omissions are system design and connections to the gas pipe. Each is a subject which would take a book in itself and it is recommended that they should be left to a qualified professional.

How much should a plumber cost?

Cost for plumbers differ depending on the type of work involved, the day of week, is it out-of-hours is it a call out emergency location etc. Choosing a decent plumber can seem daunting, but choosing the right plumber can save you a lot of bother and money.
