Gas & Plumbing in Pudsey

Common questions about gas & plumbing in Pudsey

How can I protect external pipes from freezing in my Pudsey home?

The most effective measures are insulating exposed pipes with foam lagging, keeping the property above 10 degrees even when empty, and fitting frost stats on boilers where external pipes are particularly exposed. We can inspect your pipework and advise on the specific risks for your property.

Do you carry out CCTV drain surveys in Pudsey?

Yes. Where the drainage layout is unclear or we need to pinpoint a blockage or collapse, we use CCTV camera equipment to inspect the drain run. This avoids unnecessary excavation and gives an accurate picture of the drain's condition before any repair work is agreed.

Can you remove a back boiler from a Stanningley cottage and fit a new combi?

Yes. Back boiler removals are a regular job for our Pudsey team. We remove the back boiler and decorative fireplace unit, cap the gas and flue, and install a modern wall-hung combi in an appropriate location - usually a kitchen or utility. We handle all the Gas Safe paperwork and give you a fixed price before we start.

My Pudsey semi has cold radiators downstairs but warm ones upstairs - why?

This is often a balancing issue: if the upstairs radiators are closest to the boiler they can be getting the majority of the flow while downstairs radiators are starved. We balance the system by adjusting the lockshield valves on each radiator so heat is distributed evenly. If balancing does not resolve it, a sludged pump or failing zone valve may be the cause.
