Yes, leaking radiators are a common plumbing repair. The leak is usually from the valve, the bleed point or a corroded joint. A plumber can typically fix a leaking radiator valve in under an hour for £60 to £120. If the radiator body itself is corroded through, it will need replacing — expect £150 to £350 including the cost of a new radiator.

Low water pressure in Bristol can be caused by a leak in your supply pipe, a partially closed stopcock, faulty pressure reducing valve, or a problem with the local mains supply. If your neighbours have normal pressure, the issue is likely within your property. A plumber can carry out a pressure test to identify the exact cause — typically costing £50 to £80 for the diagnosis.

A plumbing emergency is any situation that could cause immediate damage to your property or pose a health risk. This includes burst pipes, major water leaks, complete loss of water supply, sewage backing up into your home, and gas-related boiler issues. Dripping taps, slow drains and minor leaks are usually not emergencies but should still be addressed promptly.

Fitting a new tap in Bristol costs between £80 and £180, depending on the type of tap and whether any pipework modifications are needed. Mixer taps and specialist fittings like boiling water taps will be at the higher end. The cost usually includes removing the old tap and testing for leaks.

Your internal stopcock is typically located under the kitchen sink, in a downstairs cupboard, or near the front door where the mains pipe enters your property. Turn it clockwise to shut off the water. If you cannot find or turn it, use the external stop valve in the pavement outside your property — you may need a stopcock key to operate it.
