Emergency Plumber

A dripping tap is not usually a plumbing emergency, but it should not be ignored. A tap dripping once per second wastes over 15,000 litres of water per year, adding roughly £30–£50 to your water bill. It can also cause limescale buildup and eventually damage the tap mechanism beyond simple repair. Book a plumber for a non-urgent appointment to replace the washer or cartridge.

Any reputable emergency plumber working in Ashford will carry public liability insurance — typically a minimum of £2 million cover. This protects you if the plumber accidentally causes damage to your property during the repair. Always ask to see proof of insurance before work begins, and be wary of any tradesperson who cannot provide it.
