Essential plumbing hand tools including spanners, pliers and PTFE tape

Start with quality plungers, adjustable wrenches, and PTFE tape to handle most small leaks and blockages confidently.

Dripping tap repair with tap washers and spanner

For dripping taps, look for replacement cartridges, tap washers, and silicone grease matched to your specific make and model.

Pipe cutter, compression fittings and copper pipe on a workbench

Keep a bucket, pipe cutter, and spare washers handy so you can limit water damage before we arrive.

Drain snake auger and enzyme drain cleaner tools

Blocked drains benefit from enzyme cleaners, drain rods, and strainers to prevent future clogs in kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms.
