Handy Hints

Low water Pressure

If you have a tap with low water pressure, try this before you call us.
Remove the aerator from the end of the spout, clean it and replace it with the washer intact. Sometimes a little debris trapped in the aerator can really reduce the water flow from a tap.

Using Sanitisers in toilet cisterns

Please do not use liquid sanitizer in your toilet cistern. The chemicals are strong and they can cause the rubber gaskets and fittings in the cistern to break down prematurely. They also leave a sticky build up in the cistern and this must be removed and cleaned before the new parts can be fitted.

Servicing hot water tanks

Did you know that your hot water tank gas or electric needs to have a service every five years to replace the sacrificial anode to extend the life of your heater, saving you money in the long run. We forget when the tank was installed, you think it was last year but when you check the date on the side of the tank it was say five years ago.

Maintaining your in sink garbage disposal

You can keep the housing on your garbage disposal clean and the blades sharp if you run a cup of ice through the unit once a month with plenty of cold water. If you follow that with a few slices of lemon you will sanitize the unit and make your whole kitchen smell fresh,
