Blue8 Plumbing FAQs

Start by looking for someone local, qualified, and with great reviews. A Gas Safe registration and public liability insurance are a must. At Blue8 Gas Services, we’re based right here in Essex – trusted by homeowners, landlords and businesses who like their plumbing done right the first time.
Usually, it’s a worn flapper valve or seal inside the cistern that’s letting water escape. It’s not just annoying – it wastes water and money too. We can fix it quickly with a replacement part so your loo only flushes when you tell it to.
Simple rule: if you wouldn’t eat it, don’t pour it down the sink. Avoid grease, coffee grounds and food scraps, and use a drain cover to catch hair and debris. Regularly flushing drains with hot water helps too – and if things start backing up, call us before it turns into a full-blown blockage.
Low pressure can be down to a few things – a leak, a blocked pipe, an old tap cartridge, or an issue with your mains supply. We’ll trace the cause, fix the fault, and get your shower back to the powerful blast you remember.
Look for damp patches, peeling paint, musty smells, or a water meter that never stops ticking. If your bills have mysteriously crept up, that’s another clue. Our leak detection service finds the problem fast – before it causes serious damage.
You can give it a go, but YouTube confidence and a spanner don’t always mix. A small mistake can mean big repair costs later. Call Blue8 and we’ll fit it properly – watertight, up to code, and without the DIY disaster.
Turn off your stopcock immediately (it’s usually under the kitchen sink or stairs) and open a nearby tap to drain the system. Then ring us straight away. We’ll isolate the damage, replace the pipe, and help dry things out – no drama, no flood.
Once every year or two is a good rule of thumb, especially for older properties. Regular checks catch leaks, corrosion and wear before they cause expensive problems. Think of it as an MOT for your home’s pipes – quick, simple, and worth it.
In short, no. They might work once or twice, but harsh chemicals can corrode your pipes and harm the environment. A plunger, a drain snake, or a visit from Blue8 is a much safer (and cleaner) fix.
