Testimonials

 5/5

Great and quick communication. Clean and professional work. Had an outdoor tap fitted for the garden. Responses to the enquiry and further communication was quick and helpful. Arrived on time and the job was done friendly and professionally. Would very much recommend Steve from HouseWarm.

This guy is a consummate professional and straight down the line. Got told my boiler was knackered and needed upgrading, I wanted one last roll of the dice to make certain. Good job I did. From what was meant to be kaput, he got it working like it was new again. I couldn’t recommend this guy highly enough.

I had Steven visit today to service my boiler, absolutely fantastic, efficient and even helped me diagnose a couple of other niggling issues without any further charge. I would highly recommend if anyone is looking for a reliable, knowledgeable and skilled plumber.

I contacted Steven and he came around first thing the following day and sorted the problem promptly, clearly explaining the issue, the work required and his fee. He was very courteous and left no mess. I will use Steven again and recommend him to anyone who needs a plumber/heating engineer.

Very quick response to my email enquiry, then the two radiators were replaced within days. They looked great and the work was undertaken with care. I would highly recommend and would definitely use the company again if I had any plumbing or heating needs.

Contacted Steven via email about a leak we had on our toilet. Had a prompt reply and arranged a date/time to visit. He arrived on time, managed to fix the issue within a couple of hours and left everything clean and tidy. Very professional and would highly recommend. Many thanks.

I had been having problems with my toilet flushing for over 2 years of living in my flat, I have had other plumbers look at it but was told to replace the full toilet which I could not afford. Steve came out the same day and replaced a valve in less than an hour which has got the toilet working like new, full flush every time 🙂

FAQs

Why would I need to cap off a gas supply?

You might need to cap off a gas supply for many reasons.

Here are some of the most common I come across:

Replacing a gas hob for an electric hob
Removing a gas fire
Removing a gas pipe that’s in the way

What materials are used to cap off a gas pipe?

Brass and copper are the materials usually used to cap off a gas pipe.

A brass compression blank nut can be used if it is going to be accessible, however, it must be a copper blank sealed with solder or a press fit gun if it’s not going to be left accessible.

Is capping off a gas supply a DIY task?

No, capping off a gas supply is definitely not a DIY task. You have to be competent to work on gas, and every time you cap a gas supply off you have to do a tightness test before and after to make sure you haven’t left a gas leak.
