Can’t recommend Plumbers.ESX more… fabulous new bathroom after a complete rip out. They were flexible and supportive when we encountered a few hiccups. So pleased with the result and finish, they will be busy as I have passed on their number to everyone I know!

Connor replaced our old boiler and we couldn’t be happier with the overall service and experience that they provided! Made the process painless and the new boiler works perfectly. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again for other plumbing services.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my boiler needs replacing?
Common signs include rising energy bills, inconsistent hot water, unusual noises, slow heating or repeated breakdowns. An engineer can assess whether repairs are still worthwhile or if a replacement will be more efficient.
Do modern plumbing systems help reduce energy bills?
Yes. New boilers, cylinders, pumps and heating controls are designed to be more efficient and meet current UK regulations. Smart controls and better insulation also help reduce running costs.
What is the difference between first fix and second fix plumbing?
First fix covers hidden pipework for water, heating and waste before walls and floors are finished. Second fix involves fitting radiators, taps, showers, sanitaryware and heating controls once the rooms are ready.
Should I upgrade plumbing during a renovation?
Renovation work is the best time to replace old pipework, improve water pressure, update heating systems or relocate fixtures. It avoids disruption later and helps futureproof the property.
Why does my boiler lose pressure?
This is usually caused by a leak somewhere in the system, a failing expansion vessel, or issues with valves or seals. A qualified engineer should diagnose the problem, as pressure loss can indicate a deeper fault.
How often should my plumbing and heating be serviced?
Boilers and unvented cylinders should be serviced every year by a Gas Safe or OFTEC registered engineer. Routine plumbing checks can also help prevent leaks and performance issues.
Can you fit new taps, showers or radiators in an existing home?
Yes. New fixtures can be installed in most properties, and upgrades often improve performance, reduce water usage and modernise the space.
Do you cover both small plumbing repairs and full installations?
Yes. We handle everything from leaks and tap replacements to boiler installations, bathroom refits and full plumbing and heating systems for new builds across Essex.
